What is material planning?

What does he mean, lets get planning?

• Hi everyone, am really wondering what my boyfried means when he said to me lets get planning? Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 2 years now. I was on the phone to my boyfriend last night and he said am getting broody and wud like a kid soon, then he kept askin me when will you be ready to have one, am not really ready yet to have one. I told him a couple of years and i will be so he said yeah thats fine, and then what i didn't really get was he said so if its soon we better get planning. We arent engaged yet so do u think possibly he is hinting i better propose to u soon then, i thought he was saying we better get planning on having a baby then but to me you cant really plan having a baby when you dont want to become pregnant until another 2 years. i think he means we better get planning on engagement, he really knows that i want to get engaged. What do you think? please reply, thanks so much x

• Answer:

  Hi kellybowlermail, he didn't even mention about getting engaged, all he asked for is when you would like a kid. I think you've got your wires crossed here, you see, you're saying that you don't want to start getting pregnant until around two years time. He's talking about having a child in two years time. So he's thinking about trying to get you pregnant within 15 months, then you would have a child in two years time. So your thinking pregnant, and he's thinking child. Of course he may have been talking about engagement, but he certainly didn't mention it. So you need him to explain to you exactly what he meant. For he wants to try to get you pregnant as close to 15 months as he can, whereas you only want to start trying to get pregnant in two years time. You need to ask your boyfriend exactly what he meant. Otherwise he will start pushing you to get pregnant, before you , want to. I wish you happiness.
