DEAR THE VIRGO GIRL,
I will be turning 36 this year and I have no husband or boyfriend in sight but I do have a successful online business and would like to have a baby in the next couple of years. I can’t slow down right now with work to have a child, but at the same time, I can’t stop thinking about baby this, baby that. My timeline is flooded with engagement announcements, pregnancy photos, baby photos or the children birthday parties. I”m torn between my baby, my business or having a baby. I don’t want to do in medical advancement for my child, I want it the old fashion way of guy meet girl, girl meets guy and boom…baby. Should I make time for a personal life or is two years okay to wait for planning a family?
Advice from Walter: Two things are happening right now: 1) The urge to have a baby which is mental and 2) Your career. It sounds you want to have both? So how does having both look like for you? As a parent, myself, caring for a child is another career – and a lifelong one. So, consider putting together a schedule of what you want your schedule will look like when you have a partner and a child. You are still young; just be intentional in your relationships about what you want. Maybe you need to go outside of your circle to find someone who is looking for the same thing you are? You never know?
