BNOTB Poll
in BNOTB
I was just curious about the extent to which babies are not on everyone's brains, lol. I know some people here NEVER want kids, some are already parents and don't want ANY MORE kids, and some don't have kids now but do want some EVENTUALLY. So which camp are you in? Never, no more, or eventually? (Or possibly a combination of the above like "have kids, want more, but not yet?" Undecided?)
DH and I want kids, but not anytime soon! We are thinking about waiting until our 5th wedding anniversary, then we'll probably TTW for a while before earnestly TTC. DH only wants 1, I waver between wanting 1 or 2. Some days I want NONE, haha. But realistically I think we'll end up with at least one baby WAY in the future.
Re: BNOTB Poll
Undecided. Maybe someday 5+ years from now. Maybe never.
DH and I will be doing foster to adopt, but we are in the VERY early stages...as in, still researching. I think we'll look in to starting classes in 6 months or so.
That is super exciting otter!
Right now, H and I do not ever want kids. Never. we're still young and wanna be young and do young stuff lol.
We wants lots of kids. However, the "amount" we have depends on how well my body handles the first one.
I broke my back 3 years ago and sometimes still have problems. DH was an 11lb 10oz baby. I have no confidence in carrying a big ol' thang like that in my uterus. Sooo... we'll see.
I'd like to adopt too. So the ratio of natural to adopted depends on how I do with the first one. Eventually I'd like to foster to adopt too. There are so many kids out there that need to be adopted that there's no point in having a whole lot naturally.
And my sister is getting married October 2013. That's my birth control (aside from the pill) because I don't want to be a pregnant MOH. However, I don't know if we'll have kids soon after that or not. It will really depend on our financial status (right now both of us are planning to leave our jobs). And I'd like to graduate college before I pop one out.
Never.
I never want to be knocked up, so if for some reason we end up wanting them, we would adopt.
IDK. Mostly I picture myself having kids down the road, but I dont know when. I'm applying to get into school for my doctorate in psychology, so I have to think about when kids fit into that... Also, we've talked about adopting or fostering kids.
So we are in the who knows camp
I changed my name
Eventually.
We're still in limbo when it comes to a lot of major life decisions, so there's no way I could have a baby right now. When we do, I'd like to be one and done.
I'm at a place in my life where I feel no desire for kids, never have, not sure if I ever will. We really couldn't afford it anyway (right now). However I know that people change their minds, so I'm not going to be naive to think I may not change my mind someday. I just know where I stand right now, if I decide otherwise in the future, then that's ok.
ETA: I'm 31 and DH turns 32 in April.

Probably eventually.
We do have a tentative TTC date, but it is a little while off, and could possibly be pushed back or even go to the never category. See what life throws at us.

Undecided but likely never ever.
We love our lives as is, and are not fully prepared for or willing to jump in to the disruptive life challenge that is parenthood. Seems like more risk than reward at this point, and I have never had the urge to grow anything inside of me that eventually will be spitting, crying, puking, and pooping on me on a frequent basis.
This. Exactly.
