Baby Or Not Baby
Je t'aime asks:
My fiance and I are deeply considering having a baby. We've been friends for four years and together for two of those years.
Hes in the Military at this point in time which I don' mind and completely support. But with him being in the Military it means he'll be gone for long periods of time and I fear I would be raising our child basically by myself.
Even though its something we both want, and have agreed to do some day, I just don't want to raise a baby for the next four years alone.
So my question is: Should I continue in taking the healthy and active steps to conceive or wait on it all?
There is no need to rush into having a baby. If this is a real worry for you and you do not want to raise the baby alone for long periods of time why not wait.
If in the future, you know that you and your fiance will both be there for the baby, why not wait until then. It will settle your worries about doing all the work alone.
Children deserve to have both of their parents around while they are growing up, so it is best to hold off on this plan for a while.
Raising a baby alone is hard work so there is no need for you to rush into it.
The fact that you have written in proves that you don't want to do this alone, so wait until a time when you won't be left alone.
