wait while he's ready, or want it? It's probably not the best decision to have a baby in a family where father doesn't love his kid.

Waiting is sometimes the best answer, if he thinks he is not ready for the responsibility of having a child.

Take a few factors into consideration: are you old enough? Are you ready to take on the responsibility of another life? Are you financially stable enough? Some people are ready for the huge responsibility of parenthood and others aren't. Respect his decisions and have a good long conversation, it should help.

you should wait for a while and then talk about it later to see if any thing changed he might change his mind later

It all depends on what you and your significant other want. Talk it out with one of the listeners or your significant other! (:

speak with him about why he does not want a child. you shouldn't force him into having a child with you he may not feel ready for that responsibility or may not feel financially secure enough to support a child the way he wishes

In my opinion, you shouldn't have a baby if you're not married. However, it's your decision. If your boyfriend doesn't want a baby, find out why. Discuss it with him, and if his stance in the matter remains, respect the decision.

If your boyfriend never wishes to have a child, and you do, then I would find someone who matches your same future ideals. If he does eventually want a child, and you truly love him, be patient enough for the right time in both of your lives..

Talk to him, its not all his choice it needs to be a talked out thing. You both need to agree on something to make it work out
