No, i'm not planning on starting a family, need a partner for that anyway
My question is this though. When you where younger, high school age kind of thing, when ( if ? ) you thought about your future at what age did you see yourself settling down with a partner or wife and having kids.
For me i always said i wanted to have a partner and kids by the time i was thirty. I'm still single now and 23 so a few years left to get their
and now you have grown up a bit, gotten wiser and maybe had more relationship experience and work now, what are your thoughts / plans now ?
This is just out of curiousity btw. Over to you ..

when i was at school i always thort i would be married with 2 kids by the age of 30
:chin:
Mee too :chin: :chin:
I guess each to their own, besides things very rarely turn out the way you plan anyway right!??
Two. That's the only thing I am certain about, after that I'm gettin the snip!
But hey, I met the best girl first, so things have moved on a bit, I reckon we'll have our first at about 25/26.
now (i'm 20)..i'd like to think i'd be married by the time i'm 30 as well as either being pregnant or having a kid. maybe not the child, but definately like to be married.
i don't like to think about it too much 'cause i'm only at uni now and haven't a clue what's coming in the years ahead. i'll just take things as they come. 1 thing i do know however, is that i'm in no rush!
Ive never wanted to get married and ive never wanted children.
Maybe im just strange.
Im happy about the idea of a long term partner (even life long), buying a house together and all that, but the idea of marriage and children doesnt appeal to me. I only want a career
I don't see marriage working for me.
Maybe if I had a stable partner my outlook would change, but while I don't I'm happy enough to think of myself as single and childless in the future.
would love to have 5 kids (but we'll take one at a time!), and start to try at about 23. We cant wait.
If they can ever do something where dogs don't bathroom, then I think maybe we'll discuss getting one, other than that. Children :yuck:
Yes I have started to notice wedding dress when I walk past them in shop windows. Its strange in sometimes I'm excited by the idea but other times I feel scared by the idea. I think its just nerves as I really love my boyfriend, but I don't want to think too far ahead yet as,
a) we have only been going out for a year (well in two weeks time it will be)
b) he has not asked me
c) I don't want to jinx it ( does that sound strange?)
When I was younger I thought 18 was really old so I thought I'd be married with kids by the time I was 20.
I'm 23 now and want to start trying for a baby in a year and a half after I'vbe completed my graduate programme and got settled in a service. Getting married isn't a top priority for me. I've always wanted to have my kids before I was 30, I want four so might have to have some in my 30's!
Mmm nice? Ivory/cream for me but I did once see a nice red coloured one in my local paper, as they print pictures of people who have got married over the last week.
White would be a big no no, as ever since I was a child I have never always ended up getting marks on white clothes. In fact i think I will just won't bother eating or drinking at all at my wedding.
