Kids together?

How do you decide if you want kids together? 👶

I’ve been with my partner for several years now, and although we do want kids in the future, we haven’t decided when yet. Right now, at 28, we feel it’s a good time to focus on our careers and stability. If all goes well, we think around 30 would be the right time. We’ve talked about this for a while, so we’re on the same page.

How about you, what age would you like to have kids or what age did you have them? ✨

... Read moreDeciding whether to have kids together is a significant step for any couple and requires deep reflection on various aspects of life. Consider the emotional readiness of both partners: it’s crucial to be prepared for the changes and challenges that parenthood brings. Discuss your values and visions for the future, including parenting styles and responsibilities. Financial stability plays a key role in this decision. Evaluate whether you have the resources needed to raise a child and provide them with a stable environment. Think about how work priorities and personal life can be balanced alongside parenting duties, and how this shift might impact your relationship. Set clear expectations for parenting, ensuring you both understand and agree on how responsibilities will be shared. This transparency helps prevent misunderstandings in the future. Ultimately, it’s a journey that requires both partners to be on the same page, fostering open communication about timing and family dynamics.

This is such an important discussion to have! Of course oops babies happen, I have one😂 but I think at least talking about how you both feel about having kids early in the relationship is so important!
