So glad it resonated Renee! We definitely talked about kids before getting married - I was always clear that I wanted more than one and he did too. You really never know how someone will react to the transition into parenthood (including how you yourself will), but we both have certain qualities that lend themselves to parenting and, most importantly, the desire for it. My husband in particular has maintained his childlike curiosity into adulthood so he’s really well suited to hang with a toddler who finds everything amazing :)
Thanks Rae! Really appreciate your thoughts. Both my partner and I have always wanted kids too. The first time I saw him interact with kids I knew he was going to be an amazing Dad and I was like yep! this one is for me :)
Now we've started to talk about how to design our life so we both get time with them and have flexible work. Were there any things that you guys did in the life set up arena that helped you transition into parenthood?
