would u go for baby rightaway or u plan to avoid for few months or even few years?
many hubbies feel neglacted after bemcoming father coz wives tend to care more about offsprings, unintentionally neglecting their hubbies.
Personally i would like to spent some years with my better half saying no no to child. I can’t afford to lose her attention
2 years at least, i think. tho since the day before i got married, i've been getting pressured to start having babies.
i'd ideally like to travel a bit, and have a comfy place to live and have stable jobs. of course, a lot of this is not in our control. what happens happens, and we'll make the best of it.
plus, i have baby cravings, so none of this may be relevant. :D
I think waiting a couple years after marriage to have kids is a good idea. You need time alone as a couple. You need to know eachother well, spend quality time, travel, etc. You also need to be financially stable. So the first years of marriage could be a time to save up for kids or save up to buy a home in which a child could live.
As for a man feeling left out of the mother/child relationship. That's understandable. But a man should realize that his life is being enriched and he's lucky if his wife is a good, loving mother.
Everyone of my relatives whose gotten married has kids 8-9 months from the wedding day. This kind of thinking, waiting and stuff, doesnt seem to exist there
a man should not be jealous of a kid…a woman should not neglect her hubby cause of a kid…it’s all a balance problem…
a woman should be intelligent and loving enough to manage her time btw hubby and kid…
of course it is easier if she has no outside job…but modern men want them to work and after complain:p …
personally i would rely on fate…if i must have one straight 9 months after marrying i would accept…if ican’t have before 4 or 10 years…i’ll accept it also…all upon God:blush: …
I think most couples we know have waited on average 2 yrs...my parents had their first-born after 4 yrs, and other ppl wud always ask "Itni dehr kyoun wait kiya?!"...but my parents think it is a good idea to spend a couple of yrs before starting a family for many reasons, many of which others have already said...i also think that the ages of the couple are a big factor...if both are close to 30s then maybe they don't wana wait 4-5 yrs cos by then they wud have had 2 kids (before the clock runs out, if u know wot i mean...women can conceive only up to some age rite)...plus in my eyes, being much older parents (like getting close to 40s+) is not good for kids...but on the other hand, if u're a fairly young couple (early-mid 20s) then u can easily wait a couple of yrs then have how many kids u want...if u wait til ur in ur 30s to try to have a baby, u may only be able to have one...with me, i wanna wait but my fiance is so baby crazy! Before he wanted to have a baby within the first yr after we get married, but slowly i have convinced him that we can wait :D
