To have kids or not...
I've been married a little over a year now and its been rough cause we via the internet and my family's far away. It has been quite a challenge living in a new state and our arguments and different outlooks on life. But as many people feel, my spouse is watching the clock and has decided she wants a family because she's 26 and that to her is 30. I am gonna be 25 and understand the time issue but feel we should make sure the relationship will make it before bringing children into the situation. I also fear the worst because even though my spouse is drug free and is not an alcoholic, my inlaws are and are always pushing it on us. My spouse thinks I should look past that, but my values are different from the way I was brought up.

Hi L
I have seen very few parents discuss how they will raise their children, prior to actually having the children.
In many cases, as kids grow up, we see one of the parents drive in one direction while the other drive in another.
This could be in general, or in particular situations.
Discussing how you two will raise the kids involves many aspects, including the financial one and influence of other members of the family.
Take care and good luck.
