When you're a university student with a significant other, there are millions of questions that come to mind post-graduation. Will we have a house? Where will I work? Where should we live? Bu,t do many people even begin to think about having kids right after college?

One of the most important discussions for couples, in general, should be their life goals. No matter how in love someone is, there are things that can wedge an impassable divide. Having children is one of the most serious topics in what a couple wants for the future. There is no compromising between having children and not having children.

When is the right time to begin talking about having children? Well, according to everyone I've asked so far, I'm apparently too young and don't know what I want in the future. Most say I need to wait until I'm ready to have kids!

I think this is grossly irresponsible advice. Not everyone is so indecisive and malleable on their views.

Right now is the correct time to talk about kids. If you're 21 or over, then it's almost a responsibility in part of being mature to convey your future views and aspirations.

As awful as it sounds, why find a special someone in college and spend 5+ years with each other only to discover you're incompatible with the idea of having children. It's best to clear things up and discuss important topics as soon as possible- lay all your cards out and hope for the best.

Having children is a very big life decision. If you haven't truly thought about whether or not you're ready to sign up to be a parent, then start!
