How did you know you were ready for kids?

[Anonymous]

I'm really feeling the maternal drive for kids, and I feel my husband and I are at a good place to have kids, but he's still hesitant. I just want to know how you personally knew you were ready to add kids into the world.

You don't really know until it probably happens but the best way to go about it is to make sure there's a stable job to make sure that you have a house to make sure you have all the little things that you want because once you have a child it's going to cost you $250,000 to bring that child into the world and bring that child up it's probably a little bit higher than that now but have all those things in place or try to have them in place before you have a child because it will hold you back and sometimes you have talked about it you're not ready for it but it happens and that's just when you have to deal with it and it is what it is and you make the best out of it and you love that child and you make that child become better than the both of you ever thought about being

I didn't have that luxury- my first child was unplanned. Most first-time parents don't feel ready but they do fine once thrust into the role
