Today, I was discussing with my husband how it was time I stopped taking birth control so we could have a baby. He looked at me and said sincerely, "We're a little young to be having kids, don't you think?". He's 35 and I'm 32. FML

Not the expected outcome

Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML

How kind...

Today, despite my objections, a 50-year-old guy at a bar tried to convince me that my "biological clock is ticking" and that it was time to have kids, "before it's too late". He then offered his help in this noble endeavor. FML

Different goals

Today, I asked my husband if it was a good time to think about having kids. His response was, "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER." I’ve always wanted to be a mom and he knows that. I feel like I’ve wasted my life. FML

The talk

By Anonymous - 31/05/2023 06:00

Today, I asked my husband if we could start talking about kids. He said sure, so we talked about kids. Then I asked if we could maybe start trying to have kids, and he said, “Absolutely fucking not, are you mad? What’s wrong with you?” FML

Today, I was told I'll need a hysterectomy. I'm barely 22. My doctor said "You probably wanted kids, huh? That's gonna be rough!" FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend if he might want kids one day, and he most definitely does not. In fact, he even thanked me for reminding him we need to stock up on condoms when we go shopping, plus he’s even considering a vasectomy just to make sure. I’m already pregnant. FML

Mid-life crisis

Today, I had to break up with my boyfriend because we’re not on the same page. He doesn’t want to get married or have kids because he “wants to enjoy his youth” and “you’re only young once, don’t waste it!” He’s 38. FML

After careful consideration…

Today, I told my husband I might want a baby, so he took me to visit his best friend who has a toddler and we stayed for an hour. I no longer want a baby. I want the pill wrapped in 2 condoms and a joint vasectomy/hysterectomy paid for with my non-baby disposable income, and my husband now has a shit eating grin. FML

Today, I told a guy that I was on birth control. He decided that it would be best for us not to continue speaking with each other. I never would've thought taking care of myself would be a deal breaker. FML

Time for a conversation

By Anonymous - 25/07/2023 15:00

Today, after spending a great day with my nieces, I turned to my husband to ask him if maybe we should start trying to get pregnant like we both agreed we wanted to multiple times. Before the words even left my mouth he said, “God they were exhausting, thank God were not having kids.” FML

Sounds like your husband doesn't wants kids. Don't pull the goalie on him, he'll resent you.

Kids aren't right for about 90% of the population. Weigh his words with seriousness.

I'm 34 years old female and I think I'm too young for one since my age and well I'm single and I live with my parents

There's really not a "time". I just turned 19 and I have two kids. But I'm married and my husband and I live on our own and we both work. We love having kids while young because we can keep up with them.

I get the sneaking suspicion that this was something you decided should be done before you even thought about consulting him on it. Setting aside the fact that this was a discussion that should have been had before you got married, if you try to force a kid on him then I hope you are ready to be a single parent.

#94 I'm sorry but being that young and having two kids is a little much. Jeez I'm turning 19 in a couple months and have been with my boyfriend for a long time, and i am not thinking about kids at all. I need the time to go to school, not worry about babies :/ I just think some people should wait later, it's not a race to have kids..

Like several others have said, it all depends on you. I had my daughter at 19, my son at 22, and my newest baby 6 weeks ago (I'm 25). I LOVE that by the time my kids are gown and on their own, their father and I will still be young enough to enjoy our marriage and each other and we will still be young enough to do the things together we WANT to do!!
