Are you married? Do you have a place for you to live? Are you ready for a lifetime commitment? Is she? If you cant answer yes to these simple questions, your not ready for the ones that come with children.

First of all you are not the one having the baby, there is so much she will have to go through so you need to wait until she is ready to have it...just because you think that you have everything already does not even matter...a baby requires a lot of attention, love, and you have to be there for them 24/7....if she is not ready then dont do it....it is really stressful when you have a screaming baby and wont stop crying for anything....I know I am 18 years old and i have a 10 month old baby...there have been days where i just did not know what to do, i wanted to pull my hair out because i wanted a break.....dont get me wrong, i love being a parent, but nobody can ever imaging how much work it really is until they are the one responsible for taking care of the child. I have no time to myself, it is a very hard job. Dont put her through that unless you are both ready, especially if she does not want it yet and you have a choice about it, because more than likely she will be the one taking care of it all the time.

Ok, you say you are ready. That means you have a full time job and you are ready to assume ALL financial responsibilities for the child for 22 years (through college) AND the financial responsibilities for your girlfriend too, huh? You are emotionally mature (and so is she) so that you BOTH can make a rational and logical decision to spend the next 20+ years together? Of course, you also can provide good lodging, furniture, clothing, food, baby supplies, transportation (a good car), medical insurance, life insurance, and a retirement and schooling savings account, as well as pay for all the utilities too, can't you?
So there's nothing to worry about, huh? You lunkhead, you are NOT ready for a baby. At least, she realizes she isn't ready. Maybe you ought to start listening with your ears and quit thinking with your p*nis.

First off do you have a job to support this child. Yes children take a lot of money to raise. There is clothes to buy and food to get for the child. Your girlfriend is a very wise woman and she doesn't want to be saddle with a child until she is emotionally and finacially ready to take care of a child. And yes that what she going to be when she does have a child and she not ready is being saddle with it. There are a lot of children out there who need more or could have more if both parents were ready to take care of them.

If your girlfriend is smart, sho won't trust you with the birth control. You'd probably poke a hole in the condom, or wipe the condom or her diaphragm with vaseline so it crumbles. Fortunately, pills are hard to mess with unless she's a total moron.
I would suggest that anyone who wants to get married (or live together) do it for a few years before they have kids. You'll know then if you're compatible, you'll know if you can afford to have kids... If you two can't afford to get an apartment and a car, and if you can't hold the same job for 2 years or more, you're not ready.
People have kids right up to their early 40's. If you can't wait 2 or 3 years while you're young, to prove you're ready, then you're NOT ready.

having a baby is a big responsibility. both of u shud b ready nt just financially, but most of all physically and emotionally. give her a few more time, maybe she will also consider that u've been wanting a baby and ul be surprised that she'll be d one to tell u that she's ready. just continue preparing urself ok, being a dad and a loving hub is a big role.for now, enjoy the company of each other.

Wait until you grow up. Kids don't need kids. Graduate high school, get a great job, get married, save up some money, then have a baby! They are a HUGE responsibility. I had my baby before I was married (I am married now, have a house, etc.) but boy was it hard. I know it sounds great to have a baby, and it is, but you really need to weigh out your options. right them out on a peice of paper. Pro's on one side and Con's on the other side. Get your girlfriends help on this as well. You also really have to consider your girlfriends feeling over your own on this matter. She is the one that is going to get the stretch marks, gain weight, get saggy boob, etc. Please consider this before you bring a innocent child into this world. Good luck with your decision and have a great night!

Let her grow up and decide for herself! She's telling you she's not ready to be a mother. Anyone can give birth to a baby, it's the REST OF THEIR LIFE that involves all the work. Don't be a selfish moron. YOU have everything you need????? How about the ability to nurse at 2 am when you'd rather be asleep! What part of SHE AIN'T READY.... DON'T YOU GET!!!!!!?????

it all depends on your commitment to one another, having a child is not like playing a game. You also have to make sure that there are no unresolved issues between u two, a baby will only make the issues worse. If things seem good....go right ahead children are a beautiful blessing.
