The Guinness World Record Art Project
Where Thousands of Questions Get Answered

I’m pro having kids. But the decision to have children is full of myths and assumptions, even more so than marriage. A good rule of thumb is to ask, “If I hadn’t gotten accidentally pregnant, would I be seeking a child right now?” It’s advice that applies to all kinds of accidental opportunities, like a surprise promotion that requires you to move far away. Here’s a card on that.



Is this baby right for me?

What do I do?

 



Talk with people, both those who have kept the baby & those who haven’t. Make a plan for your life.

A baby does bring joy, but it also makes it very hard to get ahead.

Call Planned Parenthood & get a sense of your options. Are you centered, happy in life, emotionally rock solid, with a stable financial life & no desire to change the world or leap dramatically ahead in the next 8 years? If so a baby may work. If not, maybe not.
