My Anniversary is coming in 2 weeks!!!I am so excited. I love this day more than V-day for some reason! And with that I booked Fh that Racecar experience in the Poconos, which he will be driving a real racecar and learn about it. It was something that I figured he want to do now b/c when we have kids, who knows where that may lead us.
Fh and I started to compile a list this past weekend of things we want to do before that next stage of life, parenthood. He has some really stupid extreme stuff on there like Skydiving, while I wanna to see allllllllll the islands b/c we will be spending time in Disney rather than islands when we have the little ones.

I am already fufilling one of his 'goals' for our anny. Aren't I the sweetheart... blah!

With that said, what are some of the things you want to do before you have kids?

oh.. i have more

learning how to cook will be a good idea.

And finish school. I refuse to be in school the same time as my kids.

my biggest goal before the kids is to get promoted and get ahead more with my career.
and of course to buy an awesome apartment

Go to Europe and some more tropical islands and buy a house in Suffolk Country where I am originally from!

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

I would have loved to travel, have some married time alone with FH, buy a house, get my Masters...

...but FH already has a kid so I guess all that's out the window lol

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

Probably some more travelling, but like someone else said, there's always a good old visit to the grandparents house for a week while mommy and daddy get some time alone!

We already have the house, I can cook, I have my master's. I've been debating going for a PhD, but that would be too long to wait for kids.

I know we need to save up a bit more and both of us want to be stable in our careers, but we're on our way there as it is.

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

I'll be 21 and FH will be 23 when we get married, so we definitely plan on traveling a lot and just enjoying time together before we put kids in the picture. They can wait a few years.

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

I want to own my home, travel, enjoy our money without the expenses of the wedding and spend some time with FH as husband and wife before we put kids in the scenario. I'm perfectly fine with starting in my early thirties.

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

I'm really excited to be D.I.N.K.S. (Dual Income No Kids) but I love the little brats. So I think we will travel and have lots of date nights, and a house of course!

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

I definitely want to get my masters.

My fiance and I travel a lot and really want to continue to do so for the next 7 years.

Definitely save money

Job security

We want kids, but we're not in a hurry!

Re: Things to do before we have kids...

although i would really like to be more financially stable & have a house. however once we are married its off birth control & when it happens, it happens.
