Okay. So my husband and I have been talking about trying for a baby. I am at high risk for PCOS and we’ve discussed having our children young so that if I do get diagnosed later in life, we may have less of a fertility battle.

We’ve been married less than a year but we both agree that we are ready for a baby.

Fast forward to mentioning it to grandparents and great grandparents: no support what so ever.

We’ve been told if I couldn’t carry a baby there are other options. Also that we are to young. My grandmother even said she would “lay down and die” if we were pregnant.

We have a house, with enough room for a baby, or even two comfortably. I work, my husband is currently looking for a new job, and I go to school online. We both understand that it would be a lot on our hands, but we are willing to accept it.

I guess what I’m asking is how can we find the courage to do what we feel is right when we have 0 support from the people we love?

We love one another, even started a marriage class to grow even closer together... we don’t party, drink or smoke. Why do they think we would be such awful parents?
