I don't think so, at least not for me. I may not want to have kids NOW because I'm not ready to guide a child through that type of minefield, but I'm confident that when I do choose to have children live-in and I both will be ready for that. I guess it's just part of parenting. Plus, as much as "the world has changed" I really don't think that my parents or my parents' parents didn't have similar concerns when they were planning their families.
What I don't need is nosey nosepieces asking when I'm going to start my family. Live-in and I aren't even married yet. Many people don't think marriage is important, and that's fine for them, but I'd like to keep our alone time pre-marriage baby free.
