Im not a mommy but I do want to be one.
Im 21 years old, and my husband is 22. I recently have entertained the idea to join the United States Coast Guard because I think I really really love to do that! But I also have a dream of being a SAHM as well. Now my dilemma is this... I want to have my kids young.. I want 4 kids before 30, And my fear is that once I join the military its either 1.) I have a baby.. I will have to go back after 6 months..
2.)just drop out
3.) wait 4 or so years to start TTC
and I dont want to do any of these!!
So now I'm having second thoughts about "signing my life away".
The Coast Guard IS something I really wanted to do but being a mother is so much more important to me
dont get me wrong I know the military has so many benefits...but right now in my mind the risks are outweighing the benefits.
My husband has a steady full time job, Im not working but doing online courses (graduate in 2010) and we have our own home and two cars. Not to mention hubby wants a baby too!!
I know you might say we seem really young..which we are. But we are both very mature and responsible. I just turned 21 and i already got clubbed out at 20...
So if you guys have any advice that would be wonderful!! please dont bash me Im just really looking for some support
