Did you get married and have kids according to your timeline?

    I wanted to be married by the time I was 25. I was 24.

    I couldn't decide when to have kids. Sometimes it was five years after marriage, sometimes it was before I was 30, sometimes it was before I was 27. I had my first LO a few weeks before I turned 28.

    I think I want my second before I'm 32.

    I wanted to be married at 18, first baby at 20 and another at 23.
    I got married a month after I turned 19 and will hopefully be on track for the rest.

    It is interesting to see how much things vary from place to place. I wasn't the first to get married out of my friends, and I won't be anywhere near the first to have kids!

    I only really had career plans and just figured that the life plans would fall into place. It turns out that my career plans changed and I focused on life plans and let the career plans fall into place instead.

    I'm much happier this way than I would be if the career had panned out as I had originally planned.

    Haha no. I wanted to get married around 27/28, start having kids by 30 and be done by 35. I got married at 33 and will have my first at 35. I wouldn't change it though.

    Sort of... I wanted to get married by 27, which is exactly when we got married
    I always thought we'd start trying for babies at age 30, but when I hit 30, I realized I want ready yet. I think DH was probably ready to start trying around age 30, but he was patient with me. Finally we started trying this summer at age 32, and got our BFP six months later.

    I always thought I'd get married around age 28 and hoped to be at least pregnant by 30. But then I met DH in college and things sped up a little, so I was 26 when we got married and about one month shy of 29 when we got our BFP.

    No marriage timeline for us, but when we got hitched I was 31 and we figured peanuts would be just around the corner. I was 32 when we got our BFP

    I wanted to be married at 25, have first kid at 27 and second sometime around 30.

    I got married at 26 and I am almost 28 and still trying. Hoping that my plan is only delayed by a year....
