Do you want kids with your SO?

[NaNi]

I think my SO really likes the thought of kids... but me? Well, it's kinda cute to think about - it is! - but I think I just worry that my SO would love our kid(s) more than me. That they would be more important. Which probably sounds really selfish, but that's how I think. At the moment. Even though I know that it would be a different kind of love... but still. So I would really have to work on that first.

Kids would never take away any of her love for you- you're right, it's a very different type of bond. It's GOOD to be selfish when you think of these things and how they'd affect you and your SO's life, because you owe it to yourself to think it through from all angles! But tbh... while it doesn't affect your love for each other, it DOES affect your time, and there would likely be a fair percentage of your SO's time and attention (as well as your own!) that would be focused on the kid(s) that maybe used to be focused solely on each other. I did get kinda jealous of that at times in the past...

You know what's a great shout? Twins. We'd get a couple of kids and no waiting in between, just all done with in one fell swoop

Two boys please... or at least one boy... we'll have to try again if the first 2 are girls

[milaya]

Yes, I want kids with my SO.
He wants three, I want two... so right now we have settled on two, but if those two are boys I'm willing to try again XD
Before I met him, I didn't want children, but now I look forward to it, when that time comes. (around 4-5 years)

[elina]

Haha, welllll.. She wants 3, I'd prefer 2 I guess, but wouldnt mind 3 either Depends how our situation is with house/money/time.. all that stuff

We'll see how exhausted we are after raising the first two for a few years

But yeah.. I'd prefer 3 but 2 would be alright too I guess And yeah, I'd like 2 girls and 1 boy x)

[Andy]

Elina!

Tbh I'd want a name that was British and Finnish at the same time but those are hard to come by... I would take a LOT of convincing before I agreed to go with just a Finnish name for my kid. Tanja's a perfect example of the kind of name I'd like tbh.

Any ideas? Tanja and I have tried thinking of a few but we've not been very successful

Errrrr haha, well off the top of my head I can think of.. Linda, Anna, Emma, Sofia, Ella... yeah, all girls but apparently it's way harder to come up with some.. with boys x) Hmmmmmm.. Leo? (love that name! ♥), Oliver (not really Finnish but it's getting more popular over here I guess).. yeah I'm out for now

..is that even what you meant?

[Karringtyn]

Well I am not in the category of fairly young..haha I have my babies...they are 13,11, and 6..just actually put up pics in an album....I would love to have one with my SO...but we are beyond child bearing ages...

[Enric]

I don't want. I never felt interested in it, I guess I'm "too little for it". I can change of opinion but in many years. I kinda want my couple just for me, no share with children, if she wants a kid I can be her kid. XD And I also want to have more free time, more money and less responsibility. I love the idea of can be with my girlfriend the together having fun, without worries, for years. I think that make a family sounds quite boring. xD

She told me that she's interested in have children weeks ago, but I talked to her about it again and she doesn't want (at least in long time)

I love the name Leo, I've always liked it! Let's hope we'll have a boy
All the girls names you mentioned are already in my family - that's the biggest obstacle at finding names, I don't want it to be something that either my family members or friends have.

My SO wants a boy and a girl, I preferably want one, but what happens happens, ya know?
We like the name Alaska Tegan I. for a girl, and Embry Scott I. for a boy.

We would love to have children (not now, but a few years down the road). However, he isn't able to have children. It was difficult for him to come to terms with when he first found out. And even more difficult to come to terms with once he realized how much he loved me and that he wanted to marry me. It's a little difficult for me as well. I would love to carry his child and see something come to life that is us together. But since I'm not ready for kids right now, I don't think about it much. It might be more difficult 4 or 5 years down the road when I really want children. But there's always adoption, which we've also talked about.

Hmm hah, well that is a pickle! How about.. Jessica? Amanda.. Olivia, Maria, Jenny, Sara, Nina? Will get back to you again if I can come up with more

[squiddie]

How about Sonja/Sonia/Sonya? It's sort of in the same vein as Tanja.

My girlfriend and I definitely want to start a family. We haven't settled on any names for our kids yet, but we've already picked names for our pets
