Having their own family...

is everybody's dream. Whether to have it earlier or later depends on the couple's choice or agreement. But there are also factors to consider like the capability of the couple to support just in case they have decided to have their own. Right planning and giving careful thoughts is a good idea but there are also some couples who just go on without it... What do you think about this?

I think that it is a good idea to try and plan for these things as best we can. However surprises do happen in our life and we have to do what we can when they happen. I think it is important to be able to take care of our children. To be able to provide for their needs. So it's wise to be able to make sure that a person can do this before they start having children.

Yes, before committing or starting anything one must be prepared and have planned considerably like having a family or children of our own. As a parent it's our obligation to provide and give food and shelter fr our family. It's true that sometimes things happens beyond our control, so it's good if we have plans especially in starting a family of our own.

Yes, having a family needs a lot of responsibility. The union of two person should also be considered. Being two different person means two distinct character traits which both parties should learn to accept or cope with.And if they pass that stage then the next is to be a responsible parents to their children.

Yeah starting a family is a lot of responsibility. It is something that should be thought out carefully and not rushed into hastily. As one a person starts having children they can not go back. It is a decision and responsibility that they will have to live up too.

I want to have a family of my own too- but not yet- maybe 8 years from now.. I want a small family with just 2 kids, boy and a girl. But first i have to finish school and find a good job and fulfill my dreams first.

Yes, all of us wants what is best for our family, so the best thing to attain that is to have it planned before having one. And before anything else, one must have a degree or a stable job to do that. Yeah, it's better to wish for small things before aiming for a bigger one.

I agree with you the proper planning and nice decisions a good future ahead for them and even for their kids will have happen. I don't know if you knew my daughter annrielyn she is also here in mylot. After she graduated in college she have her own family I know there are a lot of sufferings along the way, together with their own child but somehow I'm so proud of her she acquire my personality of being strong. But still I'm in the sense of little regret if she did not have a family in this early maybe she can enjoy her life much better being a single and may have a better future after having a family. But that's what life, I'm always here to support her anyway we have a little boy now that gives us happiness. That's her son, on my avatar.

Yes, family planning is needed if couples are not yet ready for the responsibilities of a good provider for their family, especially to their children. It is a plus these days if both parents had their own job. With the high cost of living specially in the city an average earner can not provide a good living condition for a family.So good planning is really a must. I'm happy to hear that your daughter is a mylot member too.

LIke what they say, getting married is not just about love. It's about everything. If you have love but doesn't have the financial capacity to build a home, it would be a great struggle.

Yes your right toni, love is not a guarantee that one can provide or support if a couple want to start a family of their own. Traditionally the husband must be financially stable to do that. It will be a comfort if both partners have their own stable job.

I think it is very important to have good plans before deciding to have a child. Having a child just for the sake of having one does not help and more often leads to problems later on.

Yes, careful planning is a must if couples wants to start a family of their own. Having the capability to provide for the needs of their children. Shelter, clothing and most especially for the child's education. I think if the parents have all this in mind they will be a good provider for their children.
