Its a tough question, for sure. Mr. Amycat and I are undecided on the issue. When we started dating a year and a half ago, we were in the same place--neither of us was baby crazy, but we wanted kids sometime in the far off future.
This past summer he announced he didn't want them anymore. Granted, this was after spending 10 days cooped up in one house with 5 kids under the age of ten--we were on vacation at the beach w his family-- and I got upset and told him I would have to end our relationship if he never wanted to have kids.
Even saying that aloud was a hard thing to do. I am still not 100% sure I want to have children, but I think its just a matter of time before I feel settled enough and that feeling changes to a yes, baby now please.
After MUCH discussion and many tears, we did come to a mutually acceptable compromise. The fact that we could talk so maturely on such a heart-felt subject told me a lot about the solidity of our relationship, and, ironically, made me feel like we would be good parents.
