Now or Wait?

I’m so desperate to have a baby and so is my partner but he keeps telling me to wait but I can’t help how I’m feeling I’m trying not to think about it but it’s all I can think about it’s my only wish in life. I have a career I love my job but my dream is to be a mum. He knows how much I want it, I dream a lot about it too, being pregnant/having a baby when I wake up I sometimes cry. How do I get control over this desire? Or should I have a baby now? I’m 22 I know I’m young and need to live my life I would like a couple of holidays first and to be selfish for a little longer but I can’t help feeling like this is my only reason for existence.

GO FOR IT! I should mention, being a mum is one thing but being a great mum? Just do not enter a toxic relationship! Google term and or "My mum always criticises me" to see the under lying effects. When your child is 20 plus, in a crisis or depressed they should be thinking of YOU as first point of contact.

What my mother did, it too late now for me n my sis to see her as an understanding being. We love her but thas about it! Ok criticism is one thing but 100% criticism is another. I even get criticized for my choice of friends, place rented,job!

Always encourage never criticise (unless they're off the moral path) guide them with an understanding through out their lives. Make you kids believe they can achieve their full potential. Right from an early age throughout their teen n beyond!

In the future you can say "I did my best" my mum cannot even utter "I tried." Ok good luck n I always like to advise new/ future parents not to enter toxic territory.
