When did you decide that you wanted kids?

I don't mean in the sense of actually having them, but rather when did you decide that someday you wanted to have them?

When I turned 37.

Up until that point, I thought I wasn't ready (though I probably was or would have been in short order).

This past December was when I came to the conclusion that at some point I want to have kids. Not any time soon (hopefully), but someday. (I was 19 at the time)

Still don't ever want to get married.

Ditto. Although I'm still sort of on the fence about marriage.

probably a year or so into my marriage. pondered and thought a lot about it, too, whether I'd be ready, if I'll be a good parent, and all that. we were definitely ready for it when our first one came out, and she's an absolutely joy in our lives.

about 9 months and 3 days before I had kids. So think carefully.

I have a friend who decided he wanted kids when his girlfriend found out she was 11 weeks pregnant. He had 17 weeks to get used to the idea before a particularly premature birth. I'd advise a little more planning.

I didn't think that I would have kids until I was about 30, once I was married I figured I would have kids, but was in no hurry. my wife really wanted to get pregnant when I was 35, I honestly wasn't sure I was ready yet.

Probably in my late teens. I'm not ready right at this moment, but I do know that sometime in the future I want kids (I'm 28). If I have sons, I already have the names chosen that I would want to name them (well, I have 2 names chosen).

My ex-wife and I found out she was pregnant about three weeks before RubeBabeI™ was born.

Up until then, I was firmly in the "no children" camp.
