11 Signs You’re Finally Ready to Have a Kid

Are you ready to become parents? Having a baby is a huge and important step for every couple. When we see our friends' adorable kids or play with our nephews and nieces, it may seem like having a baby is all fun and games. However, there's another side to the parent's life that no one sees. Are you sure that you're ready to overcome all the difficulties of it?
We believe that you can’t predict everything, but there are a couple of signals that may show whether you're ready to take such a life-changing role or not.

SUMMARY
- Make sure your partner is ready and fully understands all the responsibilities that come with being a parent. The two of you need to be on the same page on all baby and parenthood related questions.
- You have to realize that having a baby is not just some magical answer for all your relationship problems – it's your job to work out your differences. Your child is not a peacemaker, but he or she surely deserves to be born into a happy family.
- A lot of parents make a mistake of pushing their kids into something they have no passion for or blaming them for something they can't help. You have to love and accept your baby, whatever he or she is.
- Just take off your rose-colored glasses, put up with your little imperfections, and be ready to work on errors. Taking care of your baby will take a lot of time, you will make mistakes like everybody else, but it will all worth it!
- No one can tell you when your perfect moment comes. You’ll feel it yourself. It's you, who live your life and no one else. So don't rush to become a parent – just wait for a time when you'll feel excited to enter this chapter of your life.
- Don't forget that having a baby is hard work – you'll have a lot of sleepless nights, especially in the early stages. So you’d better be ready and prepare.
- All babies are pros in creating a balance between sweetness and raw emotions. When happy parents become too sweet, it’s time to spice up the moment. So the next thing you know a beautiful angel is exploring the world with the delicacy of the Hulk.
- Talk to your friends, who already have babies, search the Internet and figure out what can make your pregnancy easier and more comfortable. It's not as hard as it may seem, especially when you're ready and prepared.
- Try to write a list of things that you'll need to spend your money on when you'll become a parent. Then take an unbiased look at your income and look for ways to increase it if it's necessary.
- Your baby is a complex "mechanism." The crying mode can be activated at any moment, and there’s no switch to turn it off immediately. You’ll have to act by yourself to cope with the situation.
- We’ve all heard the scary stories about getting old alone with no one to bring a glass of water or a pair of socks. Having a baby is only your decision. You have to think about your wishes and abilities and forget about what everyone else thinks.

Hey there, what would be the name for your baby boy/ baby girl?

[thaifighter]

You should also never consider having a baby if your significant other has addiction problems. Their not gonna change just because of a baby.

[nothanks]

I've had a baby. You don't really learn until after you have one, no matter how many videos you watch or books you read.
It is hard work, SUPER HARD!
But, so rewarding. I've never loved anything so much in my life and I am happier now than what I was before.
I have more of a life now as well.
Definitely don't have a child if you're not ready; they should never be your biggest regret. But please don't believe your life will be over when you have one, because I assure you that's far from the truth.

[godsdaughter]

Absolutely love this. Im 27 and feel at times pressured to have a baby I know I'm not ready for.

[mahirfoysal]

My parents are still not ready to be parents!!

[tamiaespn]

I'm watching this and I don't even have a boyfriend. 🤓

[alexwoogie]

Telling a baby to stop crying is like telling a sick person to stop coughing.

[unicornmomma]

Parents are just children having children.

[xNCFOREVERx]

I am 30 and this video helped me a lot! Thanks. :) I don't have any kids yet, but am married. We are trying to figure out health problems, finances, and health insurance first before having a child.

I'M 12 WHY AM I WATCHING THIS ?!?!?

[gaildaniel]

You will always worry about them no matter how old they are and keep them in constantly prayer throughout life.

[liwest]

Person in my family had a baby to chain down their bf. Didn't work. He keeps running and she keeps chasing and now the baby is caught in the middle.

[JasielArredondo]

I'm a new born baby, WHY AM I WATCHING THIS?

[christinestowe]

There are plenty of people with kids who still don’t have anyone to bring them socks or water. Having kids does not guarantee that you’ll have someone to take of you or that you won’t be alone.

[ianmcneely]

[notcrazzycat]
