Ok, so I'm lame and still trying to figure out the dynamic of this board. Please humor me! [Poll]

Re: Clicky-Kids?

  • I chose SS. I have a 12 year old step daughter that lives out of state. 

    ETA - we're in the we want to have one, one day, but career wise for DH it's not a good time. But we routinely have the it's never a good time talk since we'll both be turning 30 & 35 this year.

  • I am pretty sure we are 1 and done.  We are a bit older DH is 40 and I will be 38 in a week.  We started late. We are happy with just having 1 child. Parenting is hard work. Well it is to me.

    Any plans on joining the TTGP board when you do start trying? (On the Bump.)

    Edit: Added more.

  • I think the board dynamic has changed recently where there are a lot more people TTC, or as we now say on this board TTGTFKU - we had a 'get real' moment months ago joking about people should just say they want to get knocked-up etc.  you can guess what the rest of those letters mean ;)  And more people with kids.

    I fall in the "I want kids some day but love my freedom and am too busy now" camp.  Talking about kids is ok and common I think, but we aren't baby crazy either.

    ETA: I see people explained the TTGTFKU ;)

  • We are one and done. It took us five years and LOTS of medical intervention to get pregnant. Plus I turned 40 while on maternity leave so we feel we are a little too old to go through all that again. Besides, we ended up with what we think is a perfect little girl so why keep trying?

  • DH and I just got married, and are in the no kids camp for at least 5 years. Then I think we plan to be one and done. 
  • I have a ss. It's enough for us right now. I'm 34 and dh is 33. I'm in the not so sure I want kids camp.
  • I have a 10 year old. I'm too old for making more.

  • I have two stepsons that live in montreal. My husband does not want any more kids. I change my mind pretty often so we probably won't have any. I might only change my mind because I know DH doesn't want any.. heh.

  • We just got married in September, and we're in the middle of buying a house, so we're waiting on kids.  I've been telling H since we started dating that I want to have at least one kid before I'm 30 (five years from now), so that's kind of our timeline.  We're for sure going to have one, maybe two...we'll see when we get there :)
  • H and I recently decided and informed our family that we are happily childless and don't plan to have kids.

    WRT TheBump -- some of the boards there are awesome, some suck. My birth month board is pretty cool, the 2nd/3rd trimester boards are decent, etc, but a some of 'em are filled with crazies, hahaha. Same as anywhere on the internet, I guess. Regardless, I like it pretty well. :)
