That's a tricky situation and I agree with Kristen, unfortunately. It doesn't sound like this relationship is going to last. Baby fever really doesn't go away, it just gets worse. And I doubt she'll change her mind about having kids if she hasn't already and she's up in to her 20s. You really shouldn't shut-up just to make her happy and she shouldn't consent to make you happy. :-/ You'll really just have to see how it goes over the next few years I guess. Unless you can come to some sort of compromise. I think working in a daycare or babysiting or nannying might be a good compromise. For some it does make baby fever worse but for most it seems to give them the fill of having a child they need and then makes them appreciate NOT having a child. You can enjoy the good times, playing wtih them for a few hours a day and then come home and get a good nights sleep without the crying and worrying about finances and such. :-) Just an idea.
