My FH and I get into this all the time. I want to be 24 when we start (we are 22 now) and he wants to be 28!!! He said he wants to be 26 when we start so we would have a kid at 27!
What is the age you want to have kids?

FH and I have talked alot about this and decided that we want one before 30. We both love kids. Then about a week or two ago...a song came on the radio and he got this giddie little grin on his face. It was so adorable!!
Here's the song...
Watching You
Drivin’ through town just my boy and me With a “Happy Meal” in his booster seat Knowin’ that he couldn’t have the toy ‘til his nuggets were gone. A green traffic light turned straight to red I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath. His fries went a flyin’, and his orange drink covered his lap Well, then my 4 year old said a 4 letter word It started with “S” and I was concerned So I said, “Son, now where’d you learn to talk like that?”
Chorus: He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool? I’m your buckaroo, I want to be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. We got cowboy boots and camo pants Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad I want to do everything you do. So I’ve been watching you.
We got back home and I went to the barn I bowed my head and I prayed real hard Said, “Lord, please help me help my stupid self.” Just this side of bedtime later that night Turnin’ on my son’s Scooby-doo nightlight. He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees. He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands Spoke to God like he was talkin’ to a friend. And I said, “Son, now where’d you learn to pray like that?”
Chorus: He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool? I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. We like fixin’ things and holding moma’s hand Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad. I want to do everything you do; so I’ve been watching you.
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug. Said, “My little bear is growin’ up.” And he said, “But when I’m big I’ll still know what to do.”
Chorus: ‘cause I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool? I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. By then I’ll be strong as superman We’ll be just alike, hey, won’t we dad When I can do everything you do. ‘cause I’ve been watchin’ you.
great song!!!

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
We want to wait at least 5 years. I'm 28 and FH is 43. He was never sure he wanted children (It's crazy because I know he would be an AMAZING father!) and I would like one but not any time soon

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
FH and I will be 27 when we marry and we don't want any little ones until we are 30 or 32.
We are travelers and want to buy a house and see the world prior to having babies.

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
I'll be 29 when we get married (FH will be 27) and we talked about waiting about 5 years before having kids. Neither of us are in a huge hurry to start a family, and we want to enjoy it just being the two of us for a while. Plus this weekend we had dinner with one of his friends who has a 1-year-old, and were both a little freaked out by how much work a baby is!
On the other hand, I want to adopt a dog as soon as possible!

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
This is such a constant argument in my head. FH and I would have them right now if we could, we love children and love the idea of having our own. However, I have not started in my career yet (I'm going to be 24 in two weeks), so I'm not sure if I finish my master's, have a child, and THEN go for the teaching job, or just wait until I'm tenured for three years so I have job security, and then start trying. Then again, with the way teaching jobs are on long island, I may not find anything....see? This is what happens!
But FH and I would like about 3 children. I think realistically I will probably have our first child around age 26, which would make FH 28.

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
we talk about it all of the time... we both want kids but want to wait until FH is more settled in his residency - the hours are long and we'll be in Boston for 7 years with no family... so I want to wait as long as we can, but not too long -- oaky, that made no sense!!

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
FH and I both really want kids, but we both also want a house and careers. I’d like to be at a point in my career where I can work from home a few days a week to be with the baby. We’re hoping to buy a house right after the wedding. We’re 24 (will be 25 when we get married). I’d like to wait until we are 27 to start trying, have a baby at 28, but FH wants to wait a year longer. So we’ll probably start around then. We just became an aunt and uncle for the first time, and I’ve been really wanting a baby ever since then.

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
We talk about them.....he wants 3..........I want 2. If it were up to me I would have them right away but financially we cant. If we wait about 4 years when FH is done with his apprenticeship then he'll be making the big bucks. Maybe I can talk him down to 2 or 3 years?

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
FH doesn't budge on 26! In two years or so, I'll be out of the military, he is finishing his degree when I'm out of Korea. I don't want to rush things and I want to be settled, but I just loved the idea of being 25...I know I'm weird.

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
FH and I want to wait until either both of us or one of us get out of the military w/ no obligations. With all that is going on right now we don't want to leave the other with a child alone. But we said if it happens before we will do nothing less than love him or her or them. lol

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
We're both 27 now and will be 27 at the wedding ( turns 28 9 days after wedding, turns 28 Dec 21)
We would like to be married about a year or so before we start to try so I'd say like 29-30.

Re: kids...have you talked about them?
i am about to turn 33... so even though I want to have alone time w/Fh after we get married I don't think we really have the luxury... I want to have at least two, maybe three kids! FH wants to wait a little (maybe a year -- more if he could!lol) since he is only 30.... but I think we will compromise and start about 6 months after we are married.
