I want a baby but my boyfriend doesn't yet. What should I do?

Waiting until both of you are ready can reduce problems in the future. Often, when one partner is not ready to have a child, it can cause disagreements or end a relationship. Give it some time to see if his thoughts about a baby will change in the future.

You should respect his decision but also voice how you feel about it to him. The key word is yet perhaps he will change his mind eventually.

I think you all should sit down and talk about it more and see if it is something you should really do.

Most definitely you shouldn't push your boyfriend into having a child. Talk to him about it and explain why it's so important to you. Give him time. If you love him and want to be with him, give him time to grow up to this kind of decision.

Have you thought of asking him why? Us, girls, are more prepared for this than guys. Try to ask him and see his reasons for this.

If you love each other, and want to spend your whole lives together, it must be something that worth waiting for. Becoming a parent will be a really big change for both of you, and maybe he is not ready for this yet. You have to talk about it a lot, make plans and always be honest with each other. Together you can solve every problem and make good decisions, so don't be afraid to tell your oppinion, but never forget to listen to his!

A baby is a life long commitment. It has to be something you both want. It would be best to sit down and have a discussion to understand why you are at different points in your life and come to a conclusion about what would be best.

Be honest. Talk to him about where he sees himself in the future and whether a baby is part of that vision.

Well making a baby is a job of too, if he's not ready yet you cannot force him. Have patience and talk to him in a mature way, not pressuring him but letting him now why you feel like having a baby right now. Try to imagine how it would be if he was the one wanting to have a baby and you didn't. Having a baby is a great responsibility: you need money, time, matureness, a healthy environment, etc. It's never an easy choice to make.

Do what is best for the baby. A baby shouldn't have to grow up with one parent, but rather a team; like most of us were. If there isn't a way to keep it, maybe it's best not to.
