Q: Ready For a Baby!

I am 20. My boyfriend (who's 25) and I have been together for 5yrs. We've been living together for 2yrs. I am ready to be a mom, but getting the point across isnt so easy. We're doing okay financially, i make about 30,000-45,000/yr. I think his biggest concern is that he wants to make money and buy a house before we have a baby, but i dnt feel those things are necessary to prepare for a family. "Be patient, your still young" he says. How do I get him to understand that I cant change the way I feel. I am ready to be a mom, and my patience has run out!

So you were 15 and he was 20 when you started dating?

edit to add: You should take his concerns into consideration and just be patient. You need to be on the same page before deciding to start a family.

you defintely need to wait until you are BOTH ready. You are still very young. You have plenty of time to have a family.
