As everyone else has said, sounds like you're not quite ready to make that commitment. Even thought I don't have children yet, I think you just kind of know when you're ready to take the step. I don't think anyone is ever really prepared...how can you be? It will be such a big change. But you know when you're ready to make that change. My husband and I have been talking about having kids for a while. We were hoping to start trying next month, but now I will be having surgery So I'll have to wait a little while yet. I can't wait to start trying! But we've been married for a little over 3 years now. We've had time to spend together, have fun, do what we want. We're at the point where we're ready to start a family. Maybe you need to wait a little longer to just be a couple for a while. There is no way we would have been ready after 1 year of marriage. And I don't think being 30 is a big concern. Maybe after another year of marriage you'll both be anxious for kids. I wouldn't rush it...just give it some time. Yoou'll know when you have that desire.
