I understand how you feel. My son (actually both of them) are married and thus far, childless. One has been married for 17 years and I suspect, will not be having any children.

My youngest son, talks of having them, but says he's waiting until he has a house; ironically a house that he says is out of reach.

Yes, everyone needs to be responsible, especially in today's world where it is hard. However, it's always been hard; I remember when my husband and I had only $40 to feed our family of 4 (at the time). If my son waits until he has what he thinks he needs to have a family, then he will never have one for the timing will never be right.

Each person needs to discern when it's good for them. I wish you well. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day.
