How do I decide whether or not to have kids?
-
What criterion should I use to decide?
-
Moeny, babe, kids are money drainers
-
It is not the same as buying a new car. Having children is the same as getting married, you feel it in your very bones if it is right.
-
When you are ready. It's like wanting to be with someone forever. There's a voice in your head and that voice will tell you everyday. When are you're tired of travel. When you're bored of having sex. When you are financially stable.
All those things doesn't need to happen, but it's when you want to have kids.
-
Firstly, you have to see how are you financially. In order to have kids you should have a secure place to work that can offer enough money monthly to buy the basics (which are quite expensive and differ depending if you want to have them naturally or to adopt them).
Secondly, you should try spending some time with a friend's or relative's kids and see how you get along with them.
And lastly, this being my personal opinion, you should ask yourself if you are prepared to sacrifice every aspect of your life for them. I don't want to make it sound bad, living like this is bad only for people who are not fit to be parents. Good parents always find happiness in their child's happiness and every other way of achieving it is meaningless.

Use your social cicle and economic reality to decide if you would like to give birth to a life in this reality
