I am currently not married but have high hopes to get married one day. I don’t want to get married or have children until; I have at least received my master’s degree in psychology. I will not receive my master’s degree for another three years. I want to wait to have children because; I want to be financially secure to raise my children. I have thought about having two children, but with the cost of education, childcare, health care, and after school activities; I don’t think I could raise two children the way I would want them to be raised, unless my husband really has an outstanding job. I believe something would go lacking somewhere with two highly, educated, successful individuals trying to raise their children.
A child needs to be given love, attention, and the feeling of being wanted. I don’t want my child to feel like he or she is a burden to me or prevented me from reaching my goals. To be able to give birth to a child, see a child explore their environment, and grow is a blessing. I am very strong with my faith. I would want to continue the Orthodox Jewish traditions of raising my child, as I have been raised. I want my child to always carry on the family traditions because, he or she can continue passing on his or hers inherited genes to be courageous, independent, educated, financially secure, and successful. I want my child to be able to visit third world countries and volunteer assistance to those who are not as fortunate as my child. I want my child to be appreciative for all of his or hers blessings brought to him or her as their mother is appreciative of her blessings. A woman that can give birth to a child or raise a child is the greatest blessing with the greatest achievement of being a woman.

I am thinking along a similar line as you in regards to when I will have children. I want to wait until well after my graduation to make sure that I can adequately take care of myself financially before I add a child into the picture. If I were to have a child now, I would no doubt love him or her, but I would be doing us both a disservice because I am not at a point in my life where I have the time or money to devote to him or her.
Cassy,
Your post was well put, much like my own post about having children for blog #5. I think it is great that you have planned and prioritized your life. You are already on your way to being a good mother and that's all children really want, for someone to always have there care at heart. Planners usually don't fail, and I think your plan is pretty good. I think children need spiritual, emotional, and financial guidance throughout their life, and parents are usually the providers of these things.

It sounds like starting a firm foundation is a big deal to you. I feel the same way. If your raise your children the way you mentioned in your blog they will no doubt be great assets to society.By teaching a child how to give at a young age you can change them for the better. Later in there lives they will remember this and continue to give. If more people raised there children this way we would have a much better world.
