Did I Miss the Memo?

The reason for today’s blog I have begun to notice a trend as of late that sees people that are younger than me, the same age as me or even older than me all getting married, engaged or even thinking about having children. I know when it comes to those that are older than me are more likely to get married or have a child compared to those that are younger than me due to the fact that they have had the chance to experience the world that we live in but those of the same age as me or younger I find it really hard to understand it.

Now before I go on you mind be asking where am I getting my information from, well it is from Facebook whenever I decide to check it. Facebook is one of the biggest social media websites out there at the minute but due to a lot of the chances that have been going on with it as of late I have begun to us it a lot less nowadays to the point of me using it two to three times a week but I am digressing so let’s get back on to topic.

So that you can better understand the problem I have I will take a few minutes to give you some of my personal information. I am at the tail end of my twenties currently in a relationship that yes I can see it going somewhere in the future but I feel that I am not ready in any shape or form to go down that path of having children or even thing about getting married yet. I also believe that if you want to get married or have children you should at least have the following three things. Have a well paying job that you enjoy, own your own place and be with someone that you truly love.

With that said I just can’t understand why some people are in such a ruse to get married or to have a child when they don’t even have any of what I have said above. How can you marry someone when you aren’t living on your own together, why would you keep a baby that you can’t afford or even less from someone that you had sex with once?

I understand that money doesn’t bring happiness but at the same time wouldn’t you want the best life possible for your child to grow up in or even to be able to spend time alone with your partner when you are together? I could understand someone going down this path to start a family or getting married if they have at least one maybe two of what I have said earlier but to have none of them I just can’t understand.

You could try to break it down by saying that I am old fashioned or even that I am afraid to commit to any relationship due to what has happened in my past but what did I miss that everyone else found and understood better than me?

All I seem to be doing at the moment is ask more questions about this than me giving any answers to them due to the that I just don’t have any. All I can hope for is that those that have decided to go down this path don’t end up getting devoiced or having a kid that is out of control.

So until Next time.
