Do you want kids with your SO?

[London-FortCollins]

I've always known I've wanted kids, but the thought of having kids does terrify me. Not even so much the pain but its because I dont do hospitals or needles etc. Goodness knows how I'm going to cope with the blood tests and everything. I'm hoping when the time comes I can at least have a home birth. Fingers crossed everything would be ok to allow that to be possible.

He's always wanted kids too. He'll be an amazing father. He actually thought he had a daughter from a one night stand. 5 years later when he gets chased for child support and they ask for a DNA test he found out she wasnt his. It wasnt too bad - he'd only ever seen her twice so its not like they had a relationship but I know it really upset him At the same time it brought a sense of relief for both of us because it means he can move to the UK, and it means when we have a kid it'll be the first for both of us.

I really hope our first is a daughter. We both want a girl.

me and my SO have talked alot about this lol. Whats stuck in my head was when we were in the bus at Disney and there was this cute little boy with his mom, and my SO leans in and whispers to me "lets have one" lol yeah we want kids. Just not now, have to wait till we close the distance and are married. But we both know we want 2 maybe 3. I actually went and made a list of baby names haha, still waiting for his list.

Someday we want kids, but we aren't to that point yet. We don't know how many we are to aim for as well. We need to just enjoy each other for a few years, get married,then think about them after that.

I'm a very maternal person and I definitely want a family. So does my SO thankfully because it's a dealbreaker for me. We had a pregnancy scare during the summer which was scary but sometimes I wish it had been real (I know that's bad but it's the truth). We have talked about our future family many times. We want three kids - 2 boys (Chris and Mark) and 1 girl (Jacqueline). We would like to be married first to keep our parents happy though!

I can totally see myself and my SO raising a family together. We've discussed it and we both agree that we're obviously not ready for children, because we're only 19, both still in college and recognize we have to be financially stable. My SO, however did tell me that he can't wait to have kids once he gets married. I've seen him interact with kids and he is so adorable! He will make a wonderful father someday, and I've told him that. He tells me I'll make a great mother, too. So yes, I can see myself having children with him one day. I don't know how many I'd like yet. Maybe 1-3...definitely no more than 3. My SO wanted an even number for the longest time, but the last time it was mentioned, he said 1 or 3.

I personally NEVER wanted kids, of course I also always expected myself to be alone all my life. But luckily I found my SO and found that there is someone out there who actually understands me and I feel my most comfortable with. <3
So my views on children have slowly been changing....to a more positive note. I just love babies! hehe. But I still don't really know if I want kids, and my SO said she didn't want them...but she is actually coming around too. Either way if we did decide it would be a lengthy process for us, as we can't just..well have sex = make a baby :P
And when we talked about it we both said if we did ever have kids we'd like a girl. or girl(s)

i know a couple of gay guys in brazil that used the same egg donnor and have two kids, one from each, so while each of them became a father, their kids are still siblings!
so if you two ever have the money for IVF one of you could carry both babies (both fertilized eggs, one from each of you), so they could even be twins, i think it would be totally adorable. <3


plus, the kids would look somewhat similar, as they would be siblings anyway. like the case of neil patrick harris(barney from how i met your mother) , that one of their babies is from him and the other is from his partner

Yes definitely I love the idea of having my SO's children...of raising them together...I'm currently working towards my degree in education so the fact that I work with kids often always keeps the idea in my mind, as well

Some days I want kids other days I don't so I'm still pretty undecided, but I do know if I have kids I want a boy, girls just make me wanna shoot myself xD

[JennyRW]

I'm not that young hehehe I'm ready to marry my SO and have babies together

[alw83]

If I end up marrying my SO then I very much want to have kids with him. We have actually talked about all of this a bit. More in a hypathetical way as we haven't met face to face yet we aren't really trying to jump to conclusions. (though I think he's the one for me ) It got brought up because my sister just found out she's having a baby and I was excited to share with him I was going to be an aunt for the first time.

Anyways, I want 4 but he wants 2. He said that if we should end up married that he would be willing to compromise at 3. I also discussed that I want to adopt a Fillipino baby and he's totally game as long as we would have one or two of our own kids. We talked about names too. I like Rachael, and Abigail for girls, he likes Camile, and Rachel. I like Liam and Reese for boys and he likes Thomas and Lamont. At least we both like Rachael.

We have talked about it on a couple occasions...I think we've agreed on at least two, but probably no more than three. And either way, I don't think we really care what we have, just as long as it's healthy and has everything a healthy, happy baby should. If it doesn't, we'll still love it anyway.
