That in itself sounds a bit crazy but I've had long relationships and felt more secure with him in the first month than I've felt with others over years. We've talked about kids. Both want them but not right now or any time soon. I really couldnt right now even if I wanted to. So why can't I stop thinking about them?? How do I stop. Reply to this Question Share |

(even though I'm still in university and we're not yet in a position to have children). I find that my friends are feeling quite similarly.
I don't really have any advice for how to manage those feelings. The best thing I can say is to always keep it in perspective. Make sure you accomplish everything you want before you start actually having kids. Whether it's a career, an education, a husband, a house etc make sure you work toward all of your goals before having a baby.
By focusing on your goals, it'll be easier for you; and more importantly, it will be in the best interest of your future children!
I know this wasn't terribly helpful. Just wanted to offer some support :)
Good luck.

NO i'm not kidding, that'll show you what a handful kids are, they're good yeah, but at 25 you have plenty of time, go travel, study, party enjoy your life, because once they're born, it'snot like your life is over, but you're very limited

Why not just get a chest, you know like a "hope" chest, and just every so often buy a baby item and put it in the chest. I respect you for knowing that this isn't the right time to start your family, plenty of time for that down the road.
