hello,
I am incredably broody and need advice on how to deal with it in a constructive way. I am 21years old but feel older, as i had an upbringing where i had to grow up quicker. I am in my final year of university (due to finish in may) and always planned on having a family at an older age, however recently this has changed; I have tried to bate these feeling and bought a kitten. However as much as i love my moggie its not stopped the way I've been feeling. I have became emotional around babies, even crying when seeing friends new borns and have often found myself down the baby isles in supermarkets, looking at baby clothes and become even more emotional when watching one born every minute!
I've spoken to my partner of 5 years about how I have began to feel and he competely dismissed the idea of children right now. My partner is also 21 (22 in april) and is in the selection process of joining the army whilst still holding down a full time job. He shys away when ever the mention of a baby is around as he says he doesnt feel ready for children as he doesnt feel like he has achieved anything in life yet. he tells me to stay away from anything child related, although this is incredably hard as my degree is in early childhood studies, acompanied by its not a concious doing to look at these things i just find myself doing it.
I need help/advice in how to bate of these broody feelings or at least convince him its a good idea :).
