When you're married, financially secure and BOTH of you are ready to start a family.

What does it take to be ready? How do you prepare for parenthood, get a dog?

Or do you just mean prepared to handle everything the situation throws at you?

Not trying to be condescending. Honest question



Yes, I mean mentally mature enough to handle being responsible for another life, there really is no age to determine that so it's an individual thing. Hell, I'm 30 and I'm still not ready for that responsibility.

Yeah, I'm married. I've been with her for 12 years, married 4.

The first one, it was easy. Aside the nights and what not, it was peaceful and easy. Now with 4, it's hella difficult, constant fighting, a billion questions, trying to keep them all in check etc... It's stressful and hectic.

Can't wait until they grow out of this stage, everything is such a big deal to them LOL

damn bruh...yall were together 8 of them thangs BEFORE marriage...that shit should count toward the marriage like federal retirement plans or something...my girl and I been together two yrs and living together 1 and I might be bout ready to pop the ?.

I don't care about marriage TBH, it's stupid. We're together many years, we were practically "married".
 
When ur money is right. Fuck having kids young so that you'll be young enough to enjoy life when they're grown. How young can u feel when u spend 20 years working 2 jobs to provide for they ass?

When youre grown and established...when you have a home to raise them in, when you are able to take care of yourself comfortably and you are mature enough to understand that life isnt so much about you anymore as it is raising your seeds and building a legacy for them to build onto.

How old are you family...you think parents should be home owners?

Understandable...I thought you were going to hit me with some out of the way response.

eh...at first i was anti kids but now i'm like if im settled down with the right one and he wants kids i would be open to it. although personally i'd rather adopt.

don't wana have that convo before 30 tho

Not before 30? Why? School, freedom or finances?
 
At least when you're mature enough and your money is right. I see too many people nowadays having them like it's nothing. And a lot of them don't have a lot of money (or none at all), and are still kind of naive in the mind. It's kind of sad to see...

I'm 26, and my parents are starting to put some pressure on me to give them Grandchildren. I couldn't see myself having any until I was about 30, though. I think they can wait a few more years lol..

Forget your parents, if it's not that big on your list, don't do it!

I teach, I wouldn't have any children.

To all my future wifeys, 'Never gonna get it' is my response to that question in advance. Word to En Vogue.

freedom mostly. i'm too selfish & inattentive to others to have to care about kid right now so i figure by 30 i will have softened up to the idea.

That's understandable. Are you considering not doing it at all?
 
Why bother having children? Why not see the world with the one that you love and share and indulge in all that you love and be able to live a stable, secure and enjoyable lifestyle? I see no point of having children, all they seem to do is bring stress, bills and joy; the first two means that I'm out as the latter can be found elsewhere.
