My husband and I are in are mid 20's. We make a combined income of >$150,000/yr. I am an RN w/very flexible schedules. We're home owners, and even the proud parents of a dog. We have been together for 9 years and married for 1. We have gone on vacations have gone through our years of partying with friends, and so on. Now I feel like the next logical step is bringing a child into this world. I feel very ready and excited for motherhood, however my husband's opinion greatly differs, He wants children, however not right now. And on the other hand I feel that there is nothing holding us back. I ask he why he does not want a child and he give the typical male response:"he is not ready to give up his lifestyle", and so on... well he didn't want the resposibility of a puppy either, and he couldn't love him more. He wants to wait a year, however fertility problems run in my family, 1 yr could turn into 5, and he knows this...how do I change his mind. It think he is more ready than he knows.
