Recently, my family has been putting a lot of pressure on me to get pregnant. They say, 'It's time now, how old are you?' and honestly, I'm really scared of taking on that responsibility. I don't feel financially or psychologically ready, but as my family increases this pressure, the stress inside me keeps building. What should I do, what kind of approach should I take?
yeah, the pressure is really silly, kid, it's your life after all
Honestly, I have to say I'm curious about your age; could it be related to family insisting so much? 🤦♀️
I also faced family pressure at one point; they told me not to get married until I found a job, and now they keep saying "have a baby." Honestly, everything happens in its own time; it shouldn’t be rushed.
@yazipsildim I'm 31, but I'm still struggling financially, I live in a rented place with my spouse, that's probably why they pressure me even more.
I think you should express financial difficulties more clearly to the family; if you force having children, life will get even harder, and you'll genuinely feel like you're doing it for them.
Honestly, having a conversation with family during tense situations is important. However, it’s critical that both partners are ready when it comes to making decisions for the children; discussing and setting boundaries with your spouse should be a mutual decision, no matter how much you love your family. 🤔
I don't understand, why does having children depend on the family's wishes? How will this work under pressure? It's sad, right?
Listen to the pressure up to a certain point, but the best thing is to make a clear plan with your partner. I think your family should respect your decision 😂
