Today, I was discussing with my husband how it was time I stopped taking birth control so we could have a baby. He looked at me and said sincerely, "We're a little young to be having kids, don't you think?". He's 35 and I'm 32. FML

Sounds like your husband doesn't wants kids. Don't pull the goalie on him, he'll resent you.

If you want a kid bad just stop taking the birth control, it's better to have a kid now before you get into your late 30's, early 40's since they can have health problems, my aunt is I'm her 40's and she had a baby 2 yrs ago and the baby has health problems.

If I were the guy and the girl stopped the BC without letting me know, I'd leave her even if she got prego. I'm pretty sure he could get his way out of child support if he could prove she tricked him. In that case, I can't hate the guy

He was only expecting pets.. Or he was using something called sarcasm

I don't think anyone is 'ready' for having kids. People often find themselves too young. I know I did (I was 30 when my son was born). I wouldn't recommend waiting until the day comes that you feel 'ready' and 'mature enough'.. Because I doubt if that day will ever come :)

This is make or break time. Sounds like he's stalling.

Doing my degree i read that After 30 having kids has more chance of them not being totally healthy chances go up only by 0.03% or so..

I can see it now. MTV presents it's new ground breaking, controversial, and heart warming series..........32 & Pregnant!

I had my daughter at 19 and finished my degree and have a career 19 is not to young maybe it is for you because your not mature enough to handle real life but some people definitely can and I was married almost 2 years when I had her

Well, for one, I wouldn't advise tricking the guy (e.g. poking holes in the condoms, secretly stopping birth control). This is something you two should have talked about extensively before you made the decision to get married to one another if there's this much of a fundamental difference in wanting kids. Talk to him again, but don't try to force his opinion to change. If he doesn't want children, either you two can find some other way to have children, like a surrogate, IVF or adoption, or you can decide whether or not the decision to not have children has caused such a rift in the relationship that you should go your own way. He may be able to produce children for the rest of his life, but this may be make it or break it time for you. That being said, some of the people in the comments are saying "Don't have a kid when you're, like, 40, 'cause the baby will be messed up". While that CAN happen, I would like to make it known that my mother and father were 42 and 43 respectively when I was born. I'm 22, almost 23, and I can attest that I am, in fact, fine.
