Reallyyyyyyy?

Quote From: vartanho

Hi there!  I'm Heather, the one who wants the baby on Monday's show :).  I'm 26 years old, which I know sounds young to be so crazy about having a baby.  I want to be done having children by the time I'm 30, just as a personal preferance.  On the show, I said I don't want to be an old mom, which I apologize in advance for if it offends you.  I didn't really want to say it on camera.  My husband has come around a lot since the show though, so hopefully I won't be waiting those 2-5 years!
Steve here from the Monday show...my wife posted a comment that I have come around...well she thinks so...but truly I feel that we should wait...watch the show and see why...come back and post some more after the show...I will be on the message boards to see what everybody thinks, and I will gladly reply to any messages or questions for me on here!

 I also want to be done having kids by the time I'm 30.

I planned my life in a way so that I wouldn't have to ship my kids off to daycare and so later in life I can get a job and have a career.

Those were my priorities.

I too didn't want to be an "old mom"...that's ok, don't worry about offending people hon. Having a baby after 35 isn't for every woman. I certainly didn't want to do it and there are tons of legit reasons for that.

I am not offended. Every one has to dow hat is right for them and as a couple, you need tow ork together to come upw ith a plan that will work for both of you. Children are a blessing and a gift but also take a lot of work and committment. I personally did not plan on waiting til 37 to have my first but mother nature didn't work the way I wanted it to but all in all, I believe my children came into the world when theyw ere suppose and I thank God for them regularly. Life is good, even at my age, so no, being offended is not for me. for I know that that I am actually the perfect age for my kids. :)

No man should ever be pressured nor tricked into having a baby when he's not ready to be a father.

Parenthood is an all consuming lifelong responsibility.  If a person doesn't want this responsibility for any reason, the other partner should accept this & not pressure them.  It takes TWO yes votes to be a parent.  If for any reason one of you is a "no" then parenthood for the two of you is a no.  Steve has the right to not be a father either for now or the rest of his life if he so chooses.  I think you're so wrapped up in yourself here that you're not respecting Steve's wishes not to be a father & not to be nagged.
