I don’t want a kid and my s/o does.
This topic was created in the Health forum by haunt on Friday, June 1, 2018 and has 21 replies.
It’s went from joking around about having one and now he’s low key being serious. I’m not comfortable with the idea of having a kid.. I never have. I had a terrible upbringing and a lot of fears follow that.. I don’t want my kid to be fatherless, I don’t want my kid to have a tough life.
I’m not even done my social worker degree, I’m a year in and have three more years to go. I want to be financially stable before I even think of having a child. We’ve been together for over 6 years now and every time I say I don’t want one or can we wait he says then leave. Has anyone ever been in this situation? I love him to pieces but this is getting ridiculous. I’m just so afraid to have a kid in this moment of my life. :’(

Posted by HoovesofTopazI’ve heard before no ones ever ready to have a kid.. and it just happens but I don’t like the sound of it ‘just happening’ it’s a big step.. I think he fears I’ll never be ready to have one. We have quite abit of pets too.. maybe another puppy will suffice.
Wait until you’re ready. It’s a ton of responsibility and it’s sweet he wants a baby with you but ultimately it’s your decision. Maybe get a pet?
Posted by ufoThis is what I’m afraid of.. I just never thought I’d be in this position.
I had a friend who was in this dilemma, they're not together anymore
marriage and kids are hard to compromise on
Posted by ufoWe do talk about it and it just ends in a big argument, he doesn’t want to be in his 50s while the kids 12 and he can’t do anything with it.. that’s completely understandable but.. I just feel super anxious about the idea of having a baby.Posted by hauntPosted by ufo

I mean you cant be afraid cuz then you'll settle into having one of you be unhappy while the other is happy, so it's better to talk about it now click to expandclick to expand

Posted by UnusualVaginalDischargeHe was striving for a better career in the past but jumped ship onto something else. Being financially stable is the most important thing to me, we’re not at that level yet. Even if he can’t help out much due to his career choice I’m more than happy to do more when I’m finished school. I’ve been homeless while I was young I will never EVER let my first born live that type of life.Posted by hauntPosted by UnusualVaginalDischargePosted by hauntPosted by ufoPosted by hauntPosted by ufo

He is not. click to expand
Then be the practical voice and wait a bit longer
You can also tell him ‘the sooner you’re financially stable, the sooner I’ll pop one out’
Make sure he marries you—it’s a legal contract, so if he leaves you—you can sue for alimony and child support etc click to expandclick to expand
Posted by topesHow do you figure? About the decline bit...
Imagine having kids if u were born 100+ years ago. Or better yet research it.
This is the best time in all existence to procreate.
If youre white you better damn well change your mind. We are in serious decline. Lol.
Ewww how is he gonna talk babies if he doesn’t have the funds.
Tell him the conversation is tabled indefinitely. Until you’ve purchased a home, have your degree, and he gets more $ $ coming in you can’t seriously consider having a kid.

Im going off stats according to psychologist sources. Since the 70s we are going backward in birth rates. Way behind other races. We need to make more babies. click to expandclick to expand
Those stats ring true for all ethnicities in western societies.
This isn’t little house on the prairie days, no need to populate the earth. Resources dwindling and all that.

Posted by Arielle83I just want stability before a kid is even brought up, my mom was a single mother with two kids and she struggled so much trying to keep a roof over our head or food to eat. I don’t want my kid to live like that.
One of the reasons I saw no future with my husband was cuz he changed his mind of wanting kids.
I’m dating someone now who is 46 and wants kids. Just finishing paying his house off this year and go travelling together and we’ll start talking again.
If he’s certain he wants kids and you’re against it might want to see what u really want.
Posted by NevamoreAll he cares about is his age and being too old to care for/do anything with his kids. He doesn’t seem to worry about the financial side of it. 😐 Anytime we argue about it, it’s all about /his/ age.Posted by hauntPosted by Arielle83

If he's that selfish to understand that, then I wonder what kind of 6 years relationship process does he lives for. click to expandclick to expand
Posted by NevamoreHow long has he been asking about kids? A year, he’s been gradually getting more pushy.Posted by hauntPosted by NevamorePosted by hauntPosted by Arielle83

Don’t have kids honey, I respect people like you
do you not want to have kids or are you afraid of having kids?
Posted by ScorpioTruthI don’t mind kids, it’s a fear of having kids at the wrong time/not being ready and putting them in the same unstable life I had. I want my kids lives to be without worry. Also no I’ve been pretty quiet about it, only my Taurus friend knows of it and she supports my decision on not having one yet.
Hugs to you ❤️ Have you thought about talking to anyone about your fears? Is the fear the only thing that is preventing you from wanting to have kids in the future? Or do you just not like kids?
