When did you and your SO discuss whether or not you wanted children?
We did pretty early on... Within the first few months we talked about a lot of our life goals.

Once we were really serious (started dating in college, so it wasn't super serious right away), we carefully talked about it a couple times... once we both knew that we each wanted kids, we didn't go into too much depth...

I voted within 3 months, but in reality, we probably talked about it before. I just don't remember.

Once we were serious about each other and not just "dating" each other, we discussed our life goals.

Before dating, when we were deciding if we wanted to date each other.

We were friends long before we started dating, so we'd talked about it socially with friends before we were official. Once we started dating we talked about it more in depth. He's right on track with my goals. Kids young, 3 years apart, at least two, no more than 3.

Ironically we were both dating other people when we had that talk. We were friends and the guy I was dating had announced he didn't want kids and I talked with DH about how I was planning on breaking up with the other guy because no-kids was a deal-breaker.

I don't remember at all. We talked specifically about what to start TTC the night we got engaged.

Within the first 3 months of dating for us. Family is very important to us and thankfully, we held the same opinions/desires on the matter.

I think we talked about the fact that we both wanted kids really early on, like within the first few dates. We weren't discussing having kids specifically with each other at that point, but just generally talking about the future and what our life goals were. Once we got serious we talked more about WHEN we both wanted kids.

Not until may 6 months in. We both agreed we wanted children and that we wanted 2. Glad we were on the same page on that!
