How do you help your husband prepare to be ready for children?

[Anonymous]

My husband and I have been married for 2 years. I am 3 years older than him so basically I have been ready to start trying for kids since our honeymoon but I was on birth control for the first year of marriage.

We have both always agreed on wanting kids and even how many. What we struggle to agree on is the timing. My husband is mostly concerned about finances. He has a good career. He is a blue collar worker and he works very hard. We are doing better financially now than we ever have.

For as much as I know that I have “plenty of time for kids” I feel that the biological clock is ticking. I’m 27 and I already struggle with fertility due to PCOS.

Even though I would be happy to be pregnant asap as in 2 years ago, I know that he isn’t ready. How do I help him get there? I don’t want to force him into fatherhood. But he also doesn’t understand what it’s like for women who desire to be mothers and are worried about their body’s ability to make that happen (no matter how much I try to explain it).

Not reading the explanation. Get pets. Refuse to help in any way. They live or die based on his choices. Make sure he knows. Don't do dogs. That's cruel. Something with less feelings.

He may have a good job but job is a job, it never last long as much as we want because there r many other factors that job might not help someday & we don't have any control over it.
You may have time for kids but understand he is alone in making money for family. If u want to help him then do a little part time job or whatever little income u can gain with less efforts.

no one cares about the fertility, if you can't AFFORD children, you shouldn't have them. your husband is actually being smart here with the finances.
