[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have been together for 3 years ( married for 1) and have been deciding on having children. My husband doesn’t have a strong desire either way. He’s happy with children if I want them, but he will be equally as happy if I don’t want them. I’m not sure if I do. I think of having a baby and a younger child, but I’m not sure if that is normal. I can’t see myself raising a school aged child or teenager. I don’t know if this is because baby and toddler ages are what come first, or if it’s because those are the only ages I can envision myself being a parent. I have a large family and did babysitting when I was younger. I’ve been around kids most of my life. I see our friends who have or are having kids and think to myself “ I want this”, but the I see a kid acting up and I think “ I don’t want this.”

We are financially secure and able to afford childcare, but I do not want children unless we are going to be active parents in their lives. I grew up in a big family and I want two kids if I do have them. I want to give my child a sibling. I know we don’t have much time to think it over with our ages. I’m wondering if my apprehension is telling me I shouldn’t have children. How did you decide you wanted to become a parent? Were you 100% sure you wanted them?

I wasn’t sure whether to post this in the elations hope forum or the parent forum. [/quote]
