Advice Question

I'm ready to be a parent, she's not.

My girlfriend and I have only been together for 2 years, but I’m ready to be a parent. I just feel like it’s time to have that kind of experience, you know? I don’t really see a problem with it and it just feels like the most natural next step we should take.

I mean we’re both in our late 20s, we both have jobs and enough savings, plus we’re madly in love. For some reason, she just doesn’t seem to want children. Does it have something to do with how Colombian women are raised? Maybe she wants to get married first, but we were never the most traditional couple. How do I open up the topic with her without getting a negative response? I realize it’s a sensitive topic for her, but I really feel like having a kid together is the next best thing to do. Please give me some advice!

well satrt with a pet, and treat it like your child. she is enjoying life with you at the moment. hope u both have a promise ring or such. but keep saving . for with a child u must b preperred for all. but take your time. talking is always good. not all equal couples can do thus. but gug her all the same, and never go to bed upset with one another, never leave with an angry word. and if you are both worthy when the child comes into the picture, u will b mpre ready than u beleive. for now love one another , and thank God you have found one another. but talk and laugh and love. for a child needs to see this from their parents., no to a kid, how boiut a pet, no. how bout a fish! enjoy one another till the time comes. but yes we all running out of time. cheers. *
