When couples keep postponing the decision to have children

My partner and I have been saying we want kids 'someday' for three years but every time we try to actually plan for it one of us finds a reason to wait — my career, their graduate school, the apartment, money — and I'm starting to wonder if we're both just scared and using logistics as an excuse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The endless deferral of parenthood has become a way to avoid confronting deeper fears about readiness and commitment.
