Are you ready for being a father/mother?

Hello tonytt2009! Honestly, I am not ready to become a mother yet. My husband and I just got married last year and we're planning to have a baby 5 years from now. Like you, being a parents is a big responsibility. We haveto be ready in terms of money, health (physicall and mentally)

I'm so ready but unfortunately I've been trying to conceive for the past 14 months and still unsuccessful until now.

Hi tonytt. I think you are making enough preparations now but raising a kid is another thing. I am sure you guys are financially prepared for this baby and also physically fine. The pre-preganacy planning seems very fine now, lol. I am still not ready to be a mother now and either bf, haha, ok, we are not married yet. This should be a very good year to have a baby since the economy isn't very well and it's a great opportunity for both having a baby or futher education. Well, you guys are doing the exact thing! Great:D

I think it's great thing to become a mother or a father! I am waiting for my first baby to be born, on next May I will be a mum. Me and my partner are together for 7.5 years, we didn't really plan a baby at this time but it just happened. We both were ready in our minds to become parents. Few years ago when we were 24 years old we tried very hard to make a baby but it doomed to failure. And thanks God to that because now I know we weren't ready for a baby at that age. Now we are 100% ready, we just feel it. After you find out you are pregnant, your philosophy changes! Your mind fills up with parents molecules! We are ready when it happens! That's all lesson from my side. Good Luck!

Well i've been married for almost two years now and hubby and i are preparing ourselves to be parents. Still have to pray more, patiently to wait for God's will of when is He going to give us our bundle of joy. Definitely, I'm excited and very much anticipating to be a mom.

my husband and i are both ready to start a family its just our lifes are not. i am in uni and work part time, my husband works full time and pays for everything, as my money is used to save for a house after my degree. so we said we will try in a year or so and that if we can buy a house, becoues when the baby come we may not have the money to do

I haven't made up my mind is I even want kids but even if I did I don't have enough money. I'm not even married (haven't decided I want to do that either) so no I'm far from ready.

Being a parent is never easy.. It's not a short term planning but a long term and tedious one as well ^_^ Being a parent means lots of sacrifices and not taking it out on anybody.. Whatever they do fro their child, it's out of love and that, their responsibility is forever ^_^ U need careful planning and even financially because once u have a kid, it's a never ending process ^_^ THus, it's better to be well prepared mentally ^_^

Hellow tonytt2009. Good question for this valentine celebration. A lot of new engagements will happen during this day. Also break ups as well but we cant deny new relationships bloom during this celebration. Relationships if managed relegiously and intellegently can be preserved or nurtured until the time the woman and the man faces the challenge to dedicate themselves for a lifetime commitment. To become parent or our longing and nature to build a happy family with our most loved partner is a great achievement considering the condition of our society today. It is more than a career or a profession. Qualifications to becoame a parent suppose to be the most hard to achieve. Today a parent must be matured and healthy physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionary and socially; must be financially stable; must be an intellegent molder for their children; and must have faith and unbreakable love to his/her partner. So enjoy being single first and be ready to face the nest step.

Being a parent is a big responsibility. Honestly at my age I want to be a parent but I think I am not yet ready to be one. But I guess no one is really ready, I think the fun part of being a father or a mother is being surprised when it comes.When one is caught off guard it sometimes brings out the best in that person.

Me, I am defintely not ready to have a baby.Im just 24 and im just starting to enjoy life. Me and my boyfriend have plans on gettng married next year or by 2011 but having a baby is not on our priorities yet.I guess my boyfriend will have to be contented having me as his baby, as someone he could take care of..lol.. Having a baby needs a lot of preparation. Emotionally, financially and physically.If time comes when were married and ready to have a baby, i will definitely love to make..ooopppss..i mean have one..lol

Hi, I think you are the first person whos so excited about planning a baby this year.I thought couple do lots of practice on the be3d to have a baby.But, i think you are doing more than that. after all the excercises on bed again maintaing health and food stuff well really remarkable things...I live in India here people don't really think about all these things before having babies...(when you ask them,with a smile they say never planned...God's gift:0)).That's why we have a huge population over here. And of course about the mind state that you are asking is really changes after you see the pregnant wifes tommy.The way it will grow will change your mind set as well. Since you are going to be father for the first time .with the child grow you will learn the responsibilities as well. Agrown up girl's father gets much respects than a grown up boy's father...:) lastly congratulations for your planning again.

i am thinking about having baby this yr,, i could say i am ready as i am getting older i think its the right time for me to do it, and i am ready for it.
