Just wondering how you knew you were ready to have kids. I’ve always wanted to be a mom & know I want to try and have babies, but I’m not sure when... I’m 25 & have been with my bf (28) for 2 years. I want at least 3 kids (he does too) but we’re still getting our lives together in terms of starting our careers and I’m trying to start a small business on the side. We agree that we want to be married before having kids, but he’s getting advice to wait to get married as long as possible (from his many divorced coworkers...) Ideally we would get engaged within the year, but then I don’t know how I would plan when to have kids! Anyway... how did you know you were ready?
