Should you bring up kids in the beginning?

Question

Or do you wait to see where the relationship goes? How soon is too soon to bring up kids? Or do you wait til they bring it up?

Answer

I brought it up the first date, i wasnt wasting time on someone who may not want anything to do with kids.

Answer

I brought it up while still in the talking phase.  I don't want anymore kids so I didn't want to get with someone who does.

Answer

Yes I always brought it up in the “getting to know you” stage.

Answer

Within the first few dates. It’s important to me so I want to make sure I don’t waste my time on someone who doesn’t want what I want

Answer

Couple of weeks

Answer

I did. I don’t want biological kids and I didn’t want to be with someone who did. I also brought up marriage because I never want to get married

Answer

I brought it up within the first few conversations after meeting. I knew what I was looking for & wasn’t going to waste more of my years on men who weren’t in the same place as me.

Answer

If having or not having kids is a deal breaker, then it needs to be brought up in the beginning. Just have a conversation on dealbreakers and see how compatible you are. I brought it up when we started becoming serious.

Answer

Before I even met him ( we started talk through Facebook and have been together almost 2 years) we were talking about how many kids, what names we liked, our wedding, and he had a ring picked out before we met lol. Almost two years later I’ve moved across the country to California from Georgia to be with him (he moved to Georgia for half a year for me) and we still talk about how many kids and wedding ideas. It’s really important to be clear on all that you want and be on the same page.

Answer

if youre looking for a guy to settle down with and you know you want kids soon then you should definitely make it clear that youre not trying to waste your time
