Have you talked about starting a family?

Cliodhna, on December 9, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in WeddingWire 0 21

Your wedding is the first official step in forming your own new family! Have you and your future spouse discussed how large that family might be, or what it will look like? Whether you’re thinking about kids, furbabies, or how you want to parent - all that matters is that you and your partner are on the same page!

Have you and your fiancé(e) talked about starting a family?

    We want to get a house first so we're looking at a couple more years. We decided on two children, but lately I've been thinking about three...but since we're starting later, two is more realistic!

    Oh definitely! He'd be happy to start right away, but I have a couple of performance exams I need to get past and then we can start, I told him by our first wedding anniversary we can start 😂

    I love this. We have a dog and cat and we call our household "the family". We have talked extensively about children and though they are likely not in our future, we are still a family Smiley heart

    Our family is done. We have 2 kids together, a dog and a cat.
    Our son is very vision impaired and we will likely be adding a guide dog at some point, and I'm a sucker for animals that need a home, but no more kids. They were fun when they were tiny but I love being a mom to teens/pre-teens.

    We talked about this before he even proposed! Neither of us want kids, but furbabies are a definite once we get your own house. We live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs and we have a few family and friend that are allergic to cats, so both are out right now.

    This topic did come up and it was looked into though its very costly of the surrogacy process and costs. We have dogs as kids so that works for us. Husband doesn't have what it takes to be a father with a potty mouth, yelling and no changing ways of personal attributions.

    We have and we agree that we don't want kids right away. We will wait till we are in our 30's and probably only have 1, 2 at the most. But we 100% want fur babies!

    We talk about this a lot.
    We've been together for 10 years and for the last 4 years or so our families have both been asking about kids. The first time he was asked he looked at me for an answer and after that we sat down so we could be a united front when the questions roll in.

    We’ve talked about how our four-pawed children will be plenty to keep our lives busy and happy

    YAS GIRL.


    My FH and I do want kids eventually but not until our jobs are more stable, we have a house, etc. So at least another few years for us.

    We already have two fur babies, and we definitely do want to start a family soon-ish! i graduate from university about a year after the wedding so we’ll likely start trying around when I graduate

    We're already a family, 2 is a family too!

    *climbs off soap box*


    We don't want kids, it's just not something for us and they'd only slow me down as I'm running through Disney World Smiley tongue . When we get a larger apartment FH will let me get a cat though. We have two platy fish named Duchess and Linguine right now.

    Yup! Extensively. FH has a daughter (11) who we have on a limited part time basis, so we have had discussions about what that looks like and as well discussion about not having any children of our own outside of furbabies! Smiley smile

    Having kids has always been the most important thing for us. We plan on starting to try a few months after the wedding. 😊 I can't wait!

    Neither of us wants kids, we're both happy enough being the cool aunt/uncle to our sibling's kids. We're both huge animal lovers though so we'll be sticking with fur babies! We have one right now that will be our ring bearer, and we're thinking of getting another soon after the wedding in July. Honestly, I'd be happy with buying a house out in the middle of nowhere and just having all the typical farm animals lol.

    We're actually talking about starting a family all the time right now! Originally, we were going to wait at least a year before even beginning to try but with some things going on right now - we're debating to start earlier than that.


    We'll see!
