finances and discipline
2007-03-28 16:28:07 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 1⤊ 0⤋
My husband and I are of different religions. So if we were to have a child, we would need to discuss which religion the child would be (of course until they were old enough to make their own decision). Another thing is, are you going to have enough time to be a parent? Between the two of us, he works 2 full time jobs, I work full time and go to school full time. A baby needs their parents full time for the first 2 years, at least. Obviously, there is no talk of having kids anywhere in the near future. Money and the area to live in and what school district are a couple others.

Financial stability and emotial readiness for a life-changing event. Will your husband/boyfriend (since you don't say) be okay with decrease in sexual occurrences, will he be jealous of the time you spend with the baby or will he equally pitch in on the raising of the child? Can he or you handle these changes in addition to the dramatic change in social life with your friends/other couples in the childless realm?

Commitment to the child. Regardless if you two stay together or not-you will always be linked by a child. Always think ahead to the future. Financial situations are very important. Also, time dedicated to raising the child. p.s. i love your call sign.

Definitely financial... do you have enough money to support a child, and living environment, is your house or apartment baby-safe or will you have to be lugging a stroller up and down the stairs everyday? The living environment should also be stable. Are mom and dad always gonna be together and around when needed? I know so many friends who have been ****** up because their parents divorced.

discipline and how the raising of the child is gonna be approached-for instance, i am a sahm and my hubby works, so i take care of the children 75% of the time, but my hubby comes home and has his time w/ them at night, and one day on the weekend is exclusively his.

Discipline and early childhood development. (Nursing, bedtime, sleeping alone, TV, games, types of toys.)
Just limiting to two is too narrow.
What about spiritual guidance, independence, relatives, who stays home, baby sitting, financial obligation, college, Family intervention, friends, preschool, diapers, tippy cups, pediatrician, types of births,....etc
