Is anyone ever truthfully ready for a baby?
Answer:
my husband and I certainly didnt FEEL ready at ages 19 and 20, but it turns out we were wrong. We were more ready then we knew, and are happier now than we ever imagined possible. Yeah, things could be better financially, but our daughter is happy and has everything she needs, and thats what matters. I think that waiting until the "ideal" financial time would be a mistake. Too many couples become so focused on their child having the best stuff, that they sacrifice what really matters: their time.
not really. if you wait to be FINANCIALLY ready for kids, you'll never have them. you should not have them before you're emotionally ready, though.
Nom you think you ar, and then you have your baby, and being a mother changes you inside and out. Your views, your body, your relationships. Nothing will ever be the same. Nothing will ever prepare you. Its the most difficult and challenging job, but I WOULD NOT TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD!!!
ha maybe you can be finiancially ready or even emotionally ready but to be prepared for the long nights and the stinky diapers, hmmm no never
not really, its just part of life, u never no, untill it comes, and pray to god o mighty that its not bratty child!
You can always need more $, more everything. At some point you just have to "bite the bullet" as my mom says. That is how it was back in the day anyway, birth control wasn't as good as it is today, so when you got married, sometimes you got prego ready or not. As, has happened to you.
I am not a kid person. I have a step daughter, so I really doubted my desire for children (Sd was bratty). But, when I was about 60% sure, and almost 30, we went for it. I could not be happier. I love my kids with my whole heart, and you have 9 mos to prepare.
Good luck to you and your new baby!
No...but its not bad...just unexpected. Its the best thing in the world though.
I would say when you are seattle financially and emotianally ..around your 28-30 you might feel ready 100% to be a parent .before that you go with the flow
Nah, we all just muddle through in the beginning. If you wait til you can afford it and you're all set in your plans for your life you may never have any. When you have a baby, ready or not, you'll either step up to the plate and become a decent parent or you won't.
I would say no. But you will alway adjust. I had my first son at 19 and I didn't think I could do it. He mad me strong. I then had another baby and I though that I wouldn't be able to do it again. I did. It also made me more stronger. I am pregnant again and I am freaking out. But my husband alway told me, if you love the kids, it will make you stronger.
