It can definitely be a challenge. My wife and I waited a long time (10 years) before having a kid. There have been a number of unexpected medical things that have complicated the past ~4 years. I love my son a lot, but I also would have been happy to be just a husband. I think you need to decide what's important to you and whether a child makes that better or worse. Having kids to meet some kind of social norm or expectation is definitely not a good plan (although I'm sure it can work out ok in some situations).
- andrewbinstock 8y agoKudos to you for being forthright enough to say this. It helps those considering children to be able to speak to those who in retrospect might have stayed non-parents. The problem is finding such people to talk with b/c the narrative in our present society (at least in the US) is that such an admission is somehow wrong or improper.
