SHOULD I HAVE A BABY DURING THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS??!

[gero_anika]

Am I the only woman thinking if it's right to have babies during this economic crisis?! Honestly I don't think so, but I just think about this everyday....I'm 31 and my clock will star ticking soon.I want a baby no matter what,but my husband is not to fond of the idea, don't get me wrong, he does want a  baby,but what scares him is the $$$$,he says that maybe we should wait a bit longer,but how am I to know if the economy is going to change for good or not...what if it's too late when we decide to do it...OH  and the best part is that if I decide to have babies I have to start cycles with Clomid because I don't ovulate correctly : /

By the way....he has a good job!! lol!!

maybe there won't ever be "a good time"  You can't time everything perfectly.
don't wait too long.  Children are such a blessing.  It makes all the working worth while.
good luck on any decision you make.

Is there any right time to have a child in this world, i can totally see your view but one way or another you will make ends meet and give your child everything you can, mother nature works in funny ways, am sure your husband will change his mind if talk to him.

Good Luck :)

no, you are not the only one.  My husband and I have decided to try.  I know the economy isn't great but no one really knows when the economy will get better.  If everyone waited until they were sure to have enough money it probably wouldn't happen.  I got laid off from my job this past fall and now I am going back to school.  Sure,  money will be a little tight but I will be able to stay home most of the time while in school and when I am in class my father in law or husband can watch the baby. I will be saving A LOT of money by not using day care.  My husband works mornings and early afternoons at a boat factory. Honestly, it truly is up to you and your husband.  You guys have to decide what is right for you.
