[quote=Anonymous]I have been longing for a baby. I'm almost 28. Long-term boyfriend (not married, but I'm not concerned with getting married). I work with children, and have for the past eight years. I love kids, and love being around babies. My cousins all have babies and I can't help but be jealous (in a good way) of them. I'm just nowhere near financially stable to have a child. We both make ~$35,000/year, don't own a home, have no savings, and basically live paycheck to paycheck. I know, there's my answer. Why would I bring a baby into this world if we can barely get by? I am a nanny for a great family, but I could not return to my job with a baby (they have 3 kids). And I would not put my baby in daycare while going to take care of someone else's kids (not saying it's wrong, I just don't want to do that) - but I would want/need to work. I don't know, I guess I just needed to write this down .[/quote]
