Are you ready to become a mom / dad?

Hi! It's normal to feel that way at a certain age, because I felt that too, recently. With a boyfriend of 4 years, we are already planning marriage but as we go along, there are some things that discourages us, especially financial matters. We are both ready to become parents and as long as we love each other I know we can make it through. have a good day!

I've been a dad for more than 11 years. Even up to now, I still have doubts about myself being a dad. There are still a lot of things I don't know, and a lot of insecurities if I am raising my kids right. But, there is no time to prepare. When my son was born, there was no hesitation, I willed myself to be ready. When your time will come, you will know too!

With your age, it deserves to have a child.I have children, when I was 21 years old, and that time i felt not ready become a father because I do not plan to have children, because my girlfriend was pregnant, I had prepared for become a father.

Hi, I become a dad for 2months,haha.My baby is so loveliness,i love him very much.I think i will be a good father.

i guess im ready to become a mom at my age im 25 already but the problem is i need to find the right man to have kids with. its hard to have kids with just someone.. i think no need to rush though it can wait for the right person.

You are at a good age to start a family. But, let me just say this, before you take on a life with children, understand that it is not an easy task. I should know, I have two children and they were not good sleepers when they were born. My son was up 5 to 9 times a night for 22 months. Sleep was something I did not have all that times. It affected me on my job and at home. Also, make sure the man your with is someone that you truly want to spend the rest of your life with. I thought that was the case with my ex-wife, I was totally wrong. After 17 years of marriage, she left and took the kids. So, do not jump into this lightly. Although I believe that you and your boyfriend would probably make wonderful parents and beautiful children. Good luck.

hi friends,actually there is a need to prepare yourself to becomema mother-but for me its not actually a matter of chance and a matter of choice.first a chance to fullfill the essance of a woman and a choice to be a parent.you have to become what you need to become before you can fulfill something-for if you fulfill what yopu could not be its like pouring water into a broken jar. also you need to empty yourself from all anxiety,for if not its just like pouring more water in a full basin.

I am twenty, and I feel the same as you. Part of me thinks that I am ready now, and the other part of me is still thinking that I should probably wait for another couple of years in order to give me the time to build up my career a little bit more so that I can really provide for the baby and not have to rely on my partner for the rest of my life. I don't want to be one of those parents who has to work all of the time, and would much rather be able to stay at home with the baby at least until he/she is old enough to go to school, and then I would be able to find a job where I could work during school hours and still be there when the child was ready to come home again at the end of the day. I don't believe in having a child and then sponging them off on other people. If you can't look after a child, you shouldn't have had one in the first place.

hello, I thought you are a single mom and stands as dad also...as i understand with the topic title. If you feel you are ready..then go for it and you will surely enjoy being a mother soon as you have your own child

Hi sexy I wondered where you were and if all was alright with you. I am glad to hear that you are ready to start a family. I am wishing you all the best in life as you appear to be such a sweet and kind young lady. How does your boyfriend feel about having a baby too? I do hope that the day you become a mom it is everything you are hoping it to be. It takes a great deal of responsibility and if you both are ready many blessings to the both of you.

When i was at your age, marriage didn't come into my mind yet. Although, i had a boyfriend, i enjoy us being as boyfriend and girlfriend. I enjoy the perks of having a nice career and spending and buying with your own money . I guess, that's why , i get to think of having a family already when i was reaching 30's . My office mates were teasing me why i don't get married yet so i was already pressured. So, there, at 31 , my husband and i got married.

When I was your age, I wasn't thinking of that yet. I was planned to have a family at the age of 27 but that's nearly coming and me and my boyfriend doesn't have plans yet. We need to save more so that we're prepared for whatever the future will bring to us. Having a family is a good thing. Especially children, who will give love to you and take of you when you grow old. But I was thinking, I should have all the money to give my family a beautiful life. Well, few years more, and I'm on it. Wish you luck on your plans of having a family, hope your family will become a prosperous and happy one.

Hi! You are still too young at 23 to have a family. I think at your age you should still enjoy being single. Having a family is a full time commitment, especially when you have kids already. Life is short according to you, so, why not enjoy it first. As they say, marriage is not always a bed of roses, and that is so true. Think it a lot of times first, you may also consider other activities or plans.

I think I am not ready yet to become a mom.Sometimes I am still depending my needs to my parents especially in my daily routine in life.I had known a lot of people who are single parent and other married couple who most of the time advised me to still enjoy being single until such time that I will be stable for everything.I am willing to wait for the right time and God knows what is best for us and on our plans in our life.

You're still young sis. I got married at 28..haha. That's normal that we felt that way because it is really good to have someone with you all the time especially someone you love. 25, I guess its okay to get married and me a mommy.hehe...Enjoy your youth.:)

Hey there. So glad you're back How have you been?? Well yes, I might just be 19 but I'm ready to tie the knot if I meet the love of my life, even right now .

Hmm, maybe I'll be ready in a year but not right now. Im nearing the high risk age but Im really in no hurry to have kids. First and foremost, raising a family is a tough job. Once you have kids, you forget yourself and you concentrate on them. Not only that, you do the budgeting which is a pain in head, and you have to have full control of your household. What if your boyfriend can't sustain you and the kids. You'll end up working and your boyfriend a house dad. You'll be working twice as much. Think about it. You're too young you don't know what saying. At your age, go out and explore. And you wont have any regrets for doing the things that you should have done before having a family.
