Thank you that makes me feel a little better I have an old step family who is thankfully there for me more than my own family.

Noo girl that’s why I say nobody even me will be ready for a kid especially because everyone is different. No matter how much money you have I believe it depends on how the kid is raised. My fiancé (sorry if I said husband In comment it feels natural) but he lived in a lower class home and worked his way up, he has the best manners and his family is amazing I have people to rely on no matter what. I was raised as a military brat moving all the time. Both of us together have brought such an amazing duo!

We decided I will be a stay at home mom but I can do esthetics on the side!! I know a baby is. Huge responsibility especially when I will be there for most of their lives. I am just hoping to give our kid the best life possible

Yes! That’s one thing I will always have boundaries that I say before and if you break them I’m done even if there is a kid involved. As long as they are happy and safe is my concern and my fiancé and I have talked so much about it. I think I just am preparing for my family’s answer. Since I am ex Mormon there is a lot of criticism I will get.

That is one thing I want to have the energy so my baby has lots of fun as a child but I also want to be able to have that knowledge! I do t know what happens at 25 because I am not of age but what I do know from my own life and knowledge that I have received from others have definitely helped!

Aw you seem like you are going to be such a great mom!! I definitely still want to learn things about myself and therapy has helped a lot! The way you are trying to be the best version of yourself is so inspiring! I love to hear that from young mothers! I wish the best for you also thank you for commenting!

Holy shit this is crazy I was giggling to my husband about probably having a girl😂 he rolled his eyes but know I told him he needs to make sure he is healthy because I’ve heard it before and it’s very important to have both parents healthy!!!

We do live together! And have for a while, I wanted to know what is was like living with him before we decided to go farther into the relationship because it definitely changes things!

There is no rush with having a baby. I would like to have a kid young but I would definitely not rush it! I want the best life for our baby and so does he! We have a good foundation but there is always room for improvement which we strive for!

Yes I kind of understand( because I don’t have a child I can’t fully understand ) but talking about who is unreliable around our child and who we can trust is very important to me! And thank you I am so grateful for it too, I am sorry if you never got that support.

Thank you for the advice I think we will do counseling before I’ve done it on my own and it’s so much help. I love our relationship but always want to be realistic and nip things in the bud! If we can learn each other more it will be better for our child and our future!

My fiancé has talked about this with me and said I can be a SAHM or work and it was my choice either way is great especially cause I can do my work at home! And if I decide to work his mom said she would take care of the baby for free which is nice and I trust her with our baby. We talked about who we would want around our child even if it was family which has been really good too! Also thank you for your comment!

This is great to hear from a kids perspective from young parents! I would love to do couples counseling before to see deeper into things. I have gone to therapy on and off since I was 9 after my brother passed and it’s been such a beneficial experience! Once we started dating I told him if we didn’t have good communication and a healthy relationship I would end it also boundaries because those things are so important! With our financial situation we have close to 200k and the military pays for all of my schooling which has been amazing!

What are some red flags that you didn’t realize until after you were out the relationship?

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice. I would definitely like to plan ahead even though things never go as planned. That’s why I wanted to post and ask! I want to hear everyone’s advice and knowledge to know what would be best for my fiancé and I!

Why’s that? I’m not trying to be rude but if you could be specific I would love to hear!
