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.
TIMESTAMPS
Having a baby is a mutual decision 0:48
A baby will not solve family problems 1:23
It's a baby, not a perfect role model 1:59
Be realistic about your abilities 2:23
Don't change your life to someone's standards 2:54
Correctly evaluate possible future troubles 3:23
Babies come with a wide range of emotions 3:48
“Pregnancy” and “a nightmare” are not synonyms 4:14
Pay close attention to financial planning 4:46
You are ready to grow as a parent 5:17
The decision to become parents is thoughtful and not imposed 5:49
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.

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.

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

Gail Daniel depends on the couple

[@addygrl2431]

Gail Daniel ~ I believe only a good parent will always be concerned about their child/children. A good parent will pray regularly and want the best for their child/children. Some self-centered ppl shouldn't be parents at all. Children need to be loved always no matter what. It's not an easy role in life at all, but it is greatly rewarding. =] ~ Blessed mother of eight.

[@amandanightstar8012]

+Addy Grl a good parent will always worry about their kid true but a good parent don't have to pray or be religious and a child can't be loved all the time. It doesn't help to love a child if they do something wrong they need to learn right from wrong and the best way to do that is disipline.

[@addygrl2431]

Silje Riksta ~ I didn't say a person needs to be religious. 0.o A prayer is not only a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship, but it's also an earnest hope or wish. A good parent is always hoping & wishing the best for their child/children. Seems like you have a distorted idea of what love is because you misinterpreted what I said. Loving your child/children doesn't mean a parent is always pleased or happy with whatever action or attitude of that child. Loving a child includes correcting & disciplining (NOT ABUSING) that child for his/her own good. There are various degrees of that parental love too. As that child matures and at times misbehaves or rebels tough love must be put into action. That's actually one of the toughest parts of being a parent. A parent disciplines a child he/she loves. Thank God there are helpful resources that ppl can get a hold of now to help guide us along the way. I read a lot of parenting material since I was a teenager and attended parenting classes to help me because I didn't have a healthy role model of family relationships. If I coming from a seriously dysfunctional background can learn to be a good parent and break the abusive cycle then there is hope for anyone that is willing to learn. =)

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.

[@dmartinez9496]

I have to agree with this video. Having babies are a huge responsibility and you’re going to need the time, money, devotion, love and patience to care for a child properly. 😩 I wish I was in a position to have children but I’m not. I have to wait until I move out of this studio apartment, finish college and have my career. If I can’t have children naturally I’ll definitely look into fostering and/or adoption.

[@lilylife4426]

Childfree by choice! Never had the clock ticking. Videos like this just confirm our choice. We love to travel, work out, dance, live abroad if we feel like it, etc. Children aren't for everyone and people who don't want them should stop feeling ashamed and start enjoying their lives!

[@MichelleNovalee]

The clock ticking is not about your desire, it’s about how long you are physically able to have kids. Once your timer is up, you can’t have kids anymore. So many millennials don’t understand this and think it’s just as easy to have kids in their 40s as it was in their 20s. Reality check, it’s not.

I think you should also have mentioned experience with interacting/caring for kids or at least pets. It may not be an absolute must, but it can help to have practise in advance and you find out more about your own personality, abilities and weaknesses. Otherwise I think it is all good advice. Also, not everyone needs to have kids in their lifetime, not everyone is fit for it, would be happy with it, and if everyone does then the world becomes really overpopulated. But if you genuinely want kids, dont let that stop you

I'm so grateful for this video, so many parents get babies just because they're "cute and will save a relationship".

I wish my parents would have thought these things over beforehand, and understood that yes, their child just may be disabled and will want a good home with good parents. Oh, and 999th comment

At 20: Oooh having a baby? not now! At 30: I need one At 40: It was better when I didn't have one Me: I'M ONLY 8!

[@ichangednametoamorecringyo1489]

lol

[@hb11912]

I don’t think you can ever be ready for being a parent. I’ve been a Mum of a daughter for 17 years and still make mistakes. Having said that though, she’s my world and the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I have few regrets. Parenting is darn hard but has its rewards. Just make sure you do I for the right reasons and with the right partner.

[@kinga4771]

Lol, I'm not even a teen yet, haven't ever had a single boyfriend in my life, I don't like babies, I love animals more than humans, I'm an introvert so I'm really awkward around new people. Why am I watching this...? XD

[@killerpro6982]

You are right!!!! Loving animals is more good

[@numetaltradgirl]

Kinga Tinga Why do you even need a boyfriend before your teenage years? XD I'm almost 17 and I've never even been asked out or kissed. I did ask a guy out once and it ended in rejection. 😓

[@angienew8499]

Kids enjoooooy being young. You will never experience a beautiful time as being a kid 😊😊

[@numetaltradgirl]

Angie New ikr. If as a kid I'd known my teenage years would be miserable I would've enjoyed it a little more.

[@angienew8499]

Rachel Fox noooo Rachel!!!!! Enjoy your teenage years too. Please don't let it just pass you by and most importantly don't let anyone or anything make you feel miserable. Don't let anything rob you off the joy of enjoying your teenage years okay?

[@sykeoutoffical4154]

When I was 3 I said I'll never hit double digits! I'm almost 11 now.

[@whyyougottabesorudedontyou5185]

my parents were never married, dad was abusive till i born... i am mistake, my dad only got my mom pregnant with me so he could keep her while cheating on her at the same time I just wanted to share some of the stuff i go through :(

[@ayamuhammad6931]

Exist Reality but cheating on your mother got nothing to do with you Hun, you're here in the world now, having mission to do, so make sure to get it done perfectly and be a better human :) your life was going to be yours anyways .. from your mother or another woman..

[@Desi1992]

Exist Reality i am so very sorry I pray for you

[@Dreamy1408]

Try to be a better person than your father *hugs you* And seriously, you are not the one who decides if you're born or not. So don't tell yourself you are a mistake or responsible for the whole situation. Your mother has given you this precious gift. You can create something beautiful with it! And even it's just being there for your mother, dealing with the situation together. I feel so sorry for your mother...please let her now my greetings from the bottom of my soul.

[@shabzaymanimran892]

we are ready only when we welcome challenges and not avoid it :)

[@rancisgamer]

You guys are gaining a reputation for being LATE on these help videos... 😂😂😂.

[@elandr001]

I’m a teen but for some reason I think about what it would be like to be a parent.

[@ravenartistofficial]

I watched this because I was curious. Tbh, I don't even have a boyfriend atm so I shouldn't even be thinking about stuff like this... Even if I really do want to be a parent one day, only sixteen, I should be thinking about life before kids... Like school, my social life, and finding that "Special someone" amiright?

[@hillaryleh5741]

Raven Artist you are absolutely right. I am sure, you will make a great mom someday, if you decide to have kids in the future. For now focus on school, friends, and having friends/a social life, you're only young once after all :) Have a great day

[@AlMyGal]

You're so good at grammar, I'm so proud of you! More people need to learn how to type. 😂😂😂

[@emmaj4376]

i’m 19 and i could happily have a child right now but i know i’m not ready because my career is more important. you should get yourself sorted before you get anyone else involved

[@huangxianwei6515]

When am i watching this when i'm SINGLE

[@jessmjfan989]

Sometimes i feel anxious because im getting old and everybody is already married and having kids. Im 28 and I dont have any kids never been married, I have 4 cats that act perfectly as little children. Im okay with that. But i really wish i had someone to share my life and EVENTUALLY have one or two kids, but its not my priority. Can't even figure my life yet.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Rule #1-above-all-other-rules: Get written permission from your baby-to-be first before being forced into this world.

[@innerbeautyiskey6517]

I'm watching this after starting to try for a baby. I'm just giving myself a note :) for the first time of my life im not scared of getting pregnant ❤

[@JustMikuMiku]

Its kind of a problem that parents think young kids follow INSTRUCTIONS they actually follow what parents do ya know parents are role models example my brother is hurting me because dad is hitting and punching me Edit: Parents discipline children by spanking

[@Zeus0886]

I just turned 34 yesterday my wife is 32. We think we are still not ready for children. We still want to spend time with each other, travel and save more money. Too much BS going on in the world right now to bring a child in this mess.

[@kinglos2543]

I swiped left so fast when he said they will grow up and still live with you at 30😂😂😂 I love this one 🙏🏽

[@srkfan4ever137]

I am 38 and I rather just be an aunt instead. Because I remember when my youngest nephew was a baby. This was almost 10 years ago. When me and my mother would babysit him. There were many times when I couldn't take his screaming and crying. Because he did have really bad eczema at the time. Plus he is also allergic to both dogs and cats. We did had 2 other cats at the time. So maybe that was part of the problem as well. But I was always almost ready to silence him for good. Thankfully my mother was always there to shut him up. Being a parent is something I have no intentions of ever being one. And thank God the only babysitting that I do now is for my 2 cats. Especially the one who doesn't like to be left alone.

[@bdotashu]

I love you guys at Bright Side! I don't know why am I watching this but I totally Agree by tip no. 7 - No one can decide what is right or Wrong for us, only time and our growth can decide what's right or not, for us. Never ever swear by people there on the internet. It's like a Pen Theory which I came across during my first Internship; hold a em infront for two or more people around you and simply observe that everyone is able to see at the Pen from different angles. Some might see the labels on it, some; just the plain body of that writing instrument. Just like that, advices and perceptions can't be universally applicable.

[@elizabetharmada5335]

How to get pregnant alone?

[@ivytherussian3017]

Oooo yeah. *KyLe JeNnEr*

[@oliviaswann4686]

35, married, wasn't ready. If we all waited til we felt absolutely ready it would never happen. Of course you ideally need a stable relationship, good place to live and OK finances

[@jacerobertson7383]

I'm 15 why am I watching this??

[@mariahfrancois9517]

When family makes you feel guilty for not having a baby and they say it's all on you I feel pressured

[@Neyneylolotutu]

27 or 28 is perfect age

[@finchborat]

Or really, anytime before your late 30s/early 40s is a good time to have them. No teen pregnancies and no waiting until 40.

[@LewisBrain]

I had two teachers she wanted a baby he wasnt ready or sure. They had a baby because he said she wanted one. A baby is like a pet if you don't want it you can't send is Back within 2 weeks to Amazon. It was the silliest thing ever they soon broke up with 5 year old in the middle.

[@vanessaroper3028]

Lewis Brain poor kid

[@LewisBrain]

I do wonder how old she is now and how her life turned out.

[@wickedamoeba8719]

"Having a baby is a huge and important step for every couple." Geez, not every couple wants to have a kid.

I learned so much on this video 😂👍thank you very much 😘

[@finchborat]

As someone who was born to older parents (mom was 40, dad was 43) and currently taking care of one of them with ZERO HELP (I'm in my mid 20s), I STRONGLY disagree with #7. Those who wait too long to have them (waiting until late 30s/early 40s) are ruining their children's lives before they even start. Older parents will be too tired to interact with the kids. And once the kids reach adulthood, there's a chance they'll be slapped with early caregiving. The kids lives/careers will be put on hold and they'll be forced to stay in the nest longer than they want to (or even expected too). For me, it REALLY sucks being a single, unemployed, 20-something year old caregiver who's stuck in the nest taking care of an ailing parent while watching everyone I knew in high school and college have jobs, spouses, and (for some) kids. Caregiving has been the main theme for me since I graduated college (though I've had to be a caregiver for the parent I take care of since I graduated high school). I'm really hoping early caregiving hasn't made me unemployable and forever single. PLEASE reconsider (and think twice) when it comes to having your kids late. Have them while you're young. It's okay to wait (circumstances happen; there's nothing wrong with having them after 30), just don't wait until 40. There IS such a thing as waiting too long. Rather than say "mind your own business" or "I write my own life scenario" to those who say don't wait, how about listen to them instead. Me and others who say don't wait are watching out for your future kids. It's better for the kids to take care of you AFTER they get out of the nest and get their own lives/careers launch and not BEFORE.

[@vanessaroper3028]

finchborat good point!!

[@Sona77.]

This is great advice and your parents are lucky for you!
