[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ( 27) and my husband ( 28) have been together for 5 years - married for 1 year. We have good jobs, own a condo, no debt, etc., but we are not ready for kids. I would like to wait until 30 but everyone we know keeps pushing us to have kids right away. Is it really insane of us to want to wait until 30 for kids? [/quote]

Absolutely wait[b]. I want to talk about why you were together 4 years before marrying.[/b]

Was it a long engagement? Was that your choice or was DH holding things slow?  Is he excited for kids?

Also a condo is terrible home for family, the fees on older condos go insane and renters take over. It used to be a decent investment if you could buy it VERY cheap compared to rents but that hasn’t been the case since the 2000s, except in NYC maybe [/quote]

Not op, but I’m guessing it had something to do with the fact that she was 22 when she met him? Like, a practical baby. I met DH at 22 and we were doubled down on each other right away, but it would have been totally bizarre in our circle to have married with a year or two. We got married after 4 years. Felt perfect at the time, and happily married for over 20 years. Also, we waited seven years to have kids too! We really like each other and we were happy with our lives without kids. [/quote]
