SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

A poll on the Knot made me really curious about this...

1-2 years after the wedding. We want to spend some time alone and be selfish for a little bit. But I have to say I am really feeling the baby bug lately.

My first rule before we combind our genes, we must have a house. No house not rugrats. I need to have the security blanket if I have a child. I can't stand renting any more. Its hard enough to find a place when your a couple, its gonna be even harded with a child.

Same here. But I don't want to wait any longer than that because we're not getting any younger, and 36-37 is my personal cut off age for having kids!!

at least five years. we aren't sure if we want children, but if we do decide to have them, it would be after or right around when I hit 30

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

After I go to Italy. I told my FH that theres only one thing that I want to make sure I do before I even consider having kids- GO TO ITALY!! If I dont do it now, I never will.. believe me. We are going to try to go next May, so hopefully if all goes well, within 1-2 years after our wedding.

I would also like to buy a house, so hopefully, that will push us even more to try and save $$

I want to go on a few more vacations and become more stable financially before we have children. I think it will be between 3-5 years before we start our family.

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

We decided no children will be thought of until we have a house to raise them in - so we expect around the 4-5 year mark.

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

I don't want them. DH claims to want them, but he is many years from being emotionally ready.

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

FH already has a daughter, so we've kind of already started our family. She's going to be 9 tomorrow!

We don't want her to be too much older than her siblings so we'd like to start pretty soon, tho we need to be in a house first and I'd like to have a better paying job. So I figure about 1-2 years.

We are going to let 'nature' take care of it, at least for a while. We aren't going to start tracking cycles or anything, but we are going to enjoy the horizontal mambo and see what happens.

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

1- 2 years

Re: SWR Poll: When are you going to start having kids?

I'm 25, FI is 30 - we're going to AT LEAST wait to THINK about having kids until I'm 28, but aiming for me being 30 to actually 'start.'

We want to enjoy being a married couple, take a few trips together (alone,) work at our careers, and save a $hitload of money first.

We're gonna give up on the 'Pull and pray' on the honeymoon, and we'll see what happens...
