Would a married woman wait 7 years for her husband to bring children ?

Question

Would a woman wait for 7 years until the husband is able to afford having a child ? Why ? How much percent of ladies will wait ?

Answer 1

I depends on a lot of things like the ages of the people in question and their religious beliefs.

I had friend who had a ten year plan when they got married and waited 9 1/4 years to have kids.

Answer 2

probablly. Or maybe sooner. Im not married so I don't know

Answer 3

That's honestly the best thing to do.  You can't have kids if you don't have any money.  It really depends on how old both of you are.  I'd say you should start saving now even if you aren't in a relationship.

You could start playing the lottery.  My uncle has won large sums of money 3 times and it has helped him take care of his son.  

Answer 4

I'd wait however long it took to get into a good position to raise that child. Finishing our career plans, raising the money, whatever it was. Though love can get you through, I believe that you should be established and having your finances in order to be able to raise the child without the stress of not knowing where it's next meal is coming from or how to afford clothes, etc. I'd wait until we're both ready and feel comfortable with where we're at before bringing another life into this world.

Answer 5

I'v been married 1 yr. and have twon kids.I had one 3 weeks after we were married and one 2 weeks ago.i wanted kids but some women will wait some time but idk about 7 years.

Answer 6

That would depend on the couple, how old they are and if it was a ploy by him not to have children.  No matter when you have children, you can never be sure you can afford them.  And if you really want children, you can afford them no matter what.

Answer 7

It's true that there is never a perfect time for a baby, and most of us never think we can afford them when we have them.  But realistically, you CAN control when you get pregnant.  And if you can't pay the rent and need the taxpayers to pay for your health care and buy your groceries, maybe you shouldn't be bringing a baby into the mix just yet.  If you aren't financially in a position to support a family, you shouldn't have one.

Yes, plenty of women wait 5 years, 7 years, or even more before having their first child.  Some women wait because they choose to wait.  They and their husbands have jointly made the decision to delay having children.  I know several couples who were married more than 7 years before their first baby, and I know one couple who had their 14th anniversary a few weeks before the wife got pregnant. It was their joint decision.

If a man doesn't want children at all, he shouldn't tell his girlfriend/fiance/wife that "we'll have kids one day."  And a woman shouldn't intentionally get pregnant if she and her husband are unable to calmly discuss the issue of children.

If you're asking this because you don't want kids and your wife does, or you have arbitrarily set "7 years from now" as the earliest time that you will consider children, then the two of you have a lot more problems to deal with than just the issue of children.  There are a lot of anger and control issues, if you're trying to force your views on your wife.

Answer 8

. I would wait . If a woman feels that a man would be a good Father and a good husband then she would wait. That sounds like responsible thing,but don't make the woman wait until you become a millionaire because it may never happen and it depend on her age too

Answer 9

Yes - I did - we were married 7 years before our first child was born.  We were both mature enough to handle it and it wasn't a financial hardship.  Before babies we traveled and did lots of things people do when they "retire", while we were young enough to enjoy it.  Plus had a lot better idea about whether the marriage would survive the pitfalls of money and in-laws.  Been married over 30 years now - still no regrets.    

Answer 10

If I wanted kids bad enough then no I would not wait. You don't afford kids you love them and it works out

Answer 11

nope i wouldnt wait.. ive not been married even a year yet and already have a little girl.. now thinking about baby number 2.. everyones different but for me, children is a very important part of family life, and i want lots...
