Deciding to Have Kids

[ILP]

Folks when it was time to have kids did...

1. Your SO ask you to have them (as in a discussion) and then you decided it was time?

2. Get pregnant (ladies) and then decide it was time?

If your answer is #1 how many discussions (and what kinds of things did you discuss) did you and SO have before you got preggers?

We decided from early on that we both wanted kids. When, was another thing we didn't really discuss in detail. When I was ready I just told him I was ovulating and I needed to be inseminated.

Now we arguing on the number...
