Recently i decided that i really want to have kids. Im not in a reliable relationship and theres alot of stuff going on in my life but i got the sudden urge to have kids. My biological clock is not ticking and my boyfriend has 12 neices and nephews so i always have kids around me. So why do i want to jump in the deep end and have one of my own. Im 21, its crazy! What do you think is going on?

You are very young, only 21. I think you can wait and then have a baby. It's better for the baby to grow up in a happy family which is with a dad and mom.

I'm a bit older than you (23) and I often feel like I want to have kids as well. I think it's because I want to have a little someone to love me unconditionally and depend on me.. but I don't think those are great reasons to have a baby. Must have something to do with my love life right now as well, since I'm single at the moment I just miss that feeling and a baby is permanent - not unreliable like boyfriends. Maybe the same is happening to you? But I do realize that those may not be the right reason to have a baby. Not that I would if I could right now anyway, but the feeling is definitely there.

You have your entire life ahead of you. I'm 25, and I have always known that I have never wanted kids. My boyfriend doesn't want any more kids either. He has enough! I think if you want to have kids, you need to wait until things in your life are more stable. It is not a good idea to bring a child into an unstable family.

Nah, it's not wrong of you at all, it happens, i went through the same thing before i was 21 - wanting a baby but it passed after a while & we didn't end up having a baby until i was almost 25. Try just spending more time with little ones, as much time as you can that did the trick for me, when they get to a certain age they get pretty demanding & you can only handle them for so long - when they aren't your own. When you find someone, you'll know when you want to have kids & everything will work out well!
