[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She went through a phase of being unsure about kids, but said she would regret them if she didn’t. She still wants to fit kids into our timeline, not the other way around. She is against freezing eggs given the intrusive process. My issue is she says she wants 2-3, so we need to start now if she really wants 3. [/quote]

OP, I think you should understand what's she's saying: she wants kids as long as they fit into the life she otherwise wants to lead. If you want kids more than you want other life goals, then you two may not be a match anymore. It sounds like you would pursue ART if necessary, and she's telling you kids are just not that important to her unless they come in the way she wants them to.

You think she's deluded about the time line. I hear someone who doesn't care THAT much if the kids happen or don't happen.[/quote]

I hear this too.  Also OP sounds like someone with much more traditional expectations that his wife, given his talk of him making enough money for the both of them.  OP doesn't sound like he respects her career very much or her desire to pursue it.  Maybe he would encourage her to stay at home once they have the baby because it's better for the baby or because her salary doesn't justify her still working.

And OP's parents desires should get no weight in this![/quote]
