Why We Don't Want Kids Right Now
We’re 29 and 27, we’ve been together for over a decade, we’re married, we have a house, we’re building our careers… and naturally, everyone keeps asking us the same question: “So when are you having kids?”And the answer is… we don’t know.In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about why we don’t feel ready to have kids right now, even though we may want them someday. We talk about the cost of raising children, giving up freedom, career timing, family and cultural pressure, whether there’s ever actually a “right time,” and the things about becoming parents that genuinely excite us.And apparently, we’re far from the only couple having this conversation. Younger Americans are delaying parenthood, and more people are questioning whether they want children at all.So… are people choosing not to have kids? Or has having kids simply become harder?Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛New episodes every Monday at 7 am. Don’t forget to subscribe, and as always, we love you!
