Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are having trouble getting pregnant.
The couple has been reported in the media to be struggling with fertility for awhile now, which is causing Khloe to freak out a bit, even though she’s in no rush to have a baby.
In a scene from her reality show Khloe and Lamar, she told Lamar,
“I’m sorry for snapping at you and being on edge lately but I’ve been holding a lot of stuff in and trying not to bother you, but I’ve been freaking out about why I’m not pregnant.
“It’s scary [thinking], ‘Oh God, what if I physically can’t have kids.’ ”
Lamar who already has kids – Destiny (12) and Lamar Jr. (8) from a previous relationship – has been remaining calm about the situation.
“It’ll work out,” he said. “If something is wrong, that doesn’t affect anything [we're] going to do [as a couple].”
Now I wonder if Lamar is calm because his desire to have kids has already been satisfied – not to say he doesn’t desire to have kids with Khloe – but the initial desire has already been fulfilled. Do I make sense?
I think about this with my boyfriend and son – I think to myself at times that he’s not in a rush to have kids with me because he already has a kid, which is understandable but I feel then that takes away from that whole shared excitement and desire, and makes the whole process move at a much slower pace – hey, which is fine with me, I’m not looking to pop out any babies this year. But still, there is a “calm” I sense with him too.
For those in a stepparenting situation who do not have kids together only outside of the partnership, I’m wondering do you experience too? Or more so, women who don’t have kids but have a partner with kids, do you feel there is less ambition to have a baby sooner rather than later?
