So this board has a wide range of posters. There are some who are childfree by choice, some not by choice, undecided, or TTC.


I know the board says not to ask but I thought an anonymous poll would not cause any Chat Icon .



Happy Voting!

I chose I really want to have children, just not right now. I'm young- 24- and I want to enjoy it while I can! DH and I just got married in May so we want to enjoy our time as newlyweds, travel, buy a house, finish school, win the lottery Chat Icon , etc. ,etc. before having kids.

Re: Anonymous Poll

I want kids but DH & I decided to wait a few months (we got married over the summer) before TTC. We are going to start after the New Year. To be completely honest, I wish we could wait a few yrs. I wish DH &I had met and gotten married in our early / mid 20's b/c I would of loved to travel for a few years.

I want them now and am excited to enter this part of my life, its just that we are in our early 30's and who knows how long it will take? We discussed waiting a yr or 2 but we both agreed we want them more than we want those few vacations we could go on. Chat Icon
