Hello people of mums net Smile
I'm beck, I'm new to the site, I am neither pregnant nor a parent. I am hoping to get a few valued opinions please, I do deeply apologise if I am posting in the wrong place, but I am in a situation and I may not be sure if this is even the right site..
So here it goes...
My dad and I live in another country, we came here 2&3 years ago, and my mum is meant to be here by now with my brothers, basically my mum is putting her animals before her family, BUT I have a big fat gut feeling that if I had a baby she would be here. I have a boyfriend nearly a year, whom I love so much, and I know it would be wrong to 'trick' him in to having a babe, we both can't wait to have them but want to wait as we are still young.
But for you think it would be right to speed things up a bit and have one sooner rather than later? Just so my mum and dad can be together again and he can watch his 2 youngest kids grow up? Half of me is saying yes, other half is shouting that I am crazy!!

I am open to brutally honest opinions, Id love to hear them.
Thank you ????

Nooooooooo

Are you serious? That's the most moronic idea I've ever heard in my life.

I think that's a no OP. 1 yr is not enough to know if you would make good parents together. Just read through the hell on other posts that happens when two uncommitted people make a baby ttogether.on top 9 that you don't mention whether you have a home and a job to support this child? Yes many people have kids without those things but it shouldn't happen and if you haven't yet made that mistake, then don't. Spend some time getting to know your boyfriend and working hard to set up a secure and stable life for your future kids.

Your gut feeling that she would come over could be completely wrong! Don't plan to make a baby for any reason other than you are ready and able. Don't do it for someone else or other motives, it rarely works well in that situation.

I hope your mum feels able to move to be with you soon.

Sorry but I think you need to grow up first. Try an Honest convo with your mum.

Ok guys.. Deep down I knew it was wrong! But I needed to hear/see it from someone else.. I do have a job and a home,
Thank you... StarSmile

No. Just no. Talk to your mum.

Thanks guys, I'm trying to think of ideas so she will come out here, my heart is breaking as is my dads with them not being here, obviously he doesn't know what I am thinking!
Thank you very much Smile
