Tressugar Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Tell me if my husband (younger) and I (older) are "weird" or are we like the rest of the healthy childfree couples out there who desire children, but are not going to have a family with kids because we cannot agree on the ways we want to raise our children.

It's one thing to be child free by choice... but I think if you want kids, but don't want them with your current mate because you don't think they would be able to raise them properly, that would be a problem... 5

Why would you marry someone who has such different views on child rearing if you desire children? That is how resentment gets built. 2
Silly_Girl Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 This sounds very uncomfortable. Not wanting children is perfectly natural, nothing wrong with that. Avoiding becoming parents because you can't agree an approach sounds as though you may not be terribly compatible. It's not necessary to agree on everything, as a couple, but fundamentals can usually be thrashed out and compromised upon. Are there any other things you've decided to eliminate from your future to avoid conflict?
