With my son the only way to talk with him and make headway is to help him create logic. link it to what he already knows. I told my own son that children are a wonderful addition to life when the process of becoming a parent is followed. we discussed this process. now he says he has to finish school and college and take 1 year of parenting classes. hold down the same job for a minimum for three years and buy a house with in 5 miles of my house so I can help him if he needs it. he says when he completes all these things then he will be ready to find a woman that has completed her process in becoming a parent ...... he is very determined to not cheat a child out of a good life by following his mothers foot steps of being a single mother at 19 with nothing but sheer will to help them survive. I am very happy I can be a learning lesson for him lol.

its great that he wants to have a family. what are you tring to tell him? if you are tring to tell him a flat out NO you are doing a great diservice to your son. TALK WITH him ask her/him why? explain that a baby is hard work. tell her/him that one day s/he may be ready but untill then s/he needs to work on building the right relationship with the right person. and creating a home in which hte child will live. be supportive of this desire but yes as with a NT child encourage her/him to wait untill they can nurture the right kind of life for a healthy child.

Whao !! Welll having a good conversation helps but it crossed my mind the program where they actually give you a doll that acts like a baby to see if you can handle how much work it really takes. I dont know their website but am sure you can look it up in the internet.

Hugs. My son is only 5 but visuals help, maybe show him how much a baby can cost and how much he needs to make a year.
