My boyfriend and I have finally taken the
plunge and decided to try for a baby. At
first, I was so excited, but now reality
is starting to kick in....And I am
thinking of all the changes / what if's
that come with this big decision.
I have been with my bf for 2 1/2 years
now, and I know he is the one. I'm 30
(and keep reminding him that my biological
clock is ticking lol) and he is 35 (he
ain't getting any younger either). So,
we have decided to see what happens.
There are two...Actually three things on
my mind. Firstly, we aren't married. I
don't see this as an issue for other
people and don't have any views on other
people having children out of marriage,
but my parents won't be happy even though
my mum has said she's just looking forward
to having grandchildren....I think my dad
will worry that we aren't properly
committed to each other.
The second thing is that we
rent....Another thing that my parents
aren't too happy about....No committment
again.
The final issue is that we run our own
company, and I work 6 1/2 days a week.
Is it possible to bring up a family whilst
working this hard!!!!
I would appreciate any personal
experiences so that I may have some idea
of what I will be up against.
I look forward to hearing from anyone.

Im not really sure if you can jugle work
that busy with children..
Maybe u should try and hire someone to
take over for a bit at work. Cause
parenthood is a fulltime job.
Also after you have a baby, u can hire a
baby sitter, a nice and good one. Then go
back to work. Or make a different shift
for yourself at your business.
Children is a hard job, but its worth
it... Im about to become an aunt, my
sister is 7 months. Shes not marrying her
ex cause hes violent. And not fitted to
raise himself let alone a child.
U will have to take care of your babies
for 18 years, just make sure your ready
for that rightnow, in this time in your
life. Cause children deserve the world!
They deserve happiness, and love, and
care! They deserve everything!!!!!!!
