Hi everyone,
I have decided to propose to my GF, which i mentioned in a previous post. We have talked about marriage and children before and I am excited to do both. Marriage isn't something that I particularly need to do now, but I want to stay with my GF, and for her she doesn't really seem to NEED to do it, but wants to do it before we have Children.
My dilemma is that I have 28 years old, my GF is 33. We have been together for 2.5 years and are currently living together. She is a little worried about approaching her mid 30's and so we both want to have children. However, I have a relatively unstable job. What I mean is that my job requires me to be re-contracted on a yearly basis, which has the potential to end of each year, and the nature of my job means that I might be forced to move to a different to do find another one. I am planning on started my own business in the next few years, whereby I can fix myself to one city and will hopefully not have to worry about losing my job.
This issue has only really come up because she is older. If it were the opposite way age wise it wouldn't be a problem, but it isn't.
Do you think we should start to have a family now or do you think us waiting a few more years, say when she's 36/37? Does anyone have any experience starting a family with a similarly unstable job?
