Been married a year.

My husband and I have been married a year and apparently if you don't get pregnant on your wedding night, you are weird. I want to do things in order! Fall in love, get married, THEN have a baby. And since my husband is in the military, I DO NOT want a baby right now!!! He is about to deploy and I am not going to raise a baby by myself. All my friends are having babies and I am 'supposed' to be next. No one seems to plan for babies anymore. I know that sometimes it happens, but I am only 20 years old. My husband and I did not date for long before we got married, I would like to get to used to him before I have a baby on top of it! SO tired of people saying "I am next".

Re: Been married a year.

  • You are very wise not to ruin your life yet at the age of 20.    Once you hop on the babytrain, there's no coming off of it after a certain point so it's best to be certain that is what you want.   I am glad you don't give into the pressure of your friends since it's really none of their business anyway.

     

    Welcome to the board, and congrats on being married a year!         I'd offer some wine but I don't know who's looking and I don't want to get in trouble giving to a minor, so I will offer you some peeps instead.

  • I feel the same way. My husband and I are in school, he wants to go to grad school, I want to find full time work somewhere when I graduate next semester. The LAST thing we need is a baby. We couldn't handle it right now. It kind of annoys me, no matter how well meaning people are, that they're asking if I'll have a baby soon or when do I want kids. I want a job first, one that pays a decent wage, and start paying back my student loans before I think about the pressures of having a kid.

  • Pull up a bar stool and have some... milk! Stick out tongue

    Welcome!

  • You guys are too funny! People say I am very mature for my age. I am a planner, which is a good thing! I want to be financially stable before we have a baby.
  • You just have to ignore the comments. Kudos for knowing that you are not in the place to have kids right now, and sticking to your guns! Enjoy your marriage first :)
