If so, how old are your children? What are their names? Boys or girls?
Yes.
21, 19
I usually call them “Buddy” and “Little Girl”.
One of each.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my children with my father. (Sorry for the orientation - couldn’t figure out how to change it)

I have one son, just over a year old. His name is Lucian Xavier, but we call him Luke - or mostly Little Man. :)

We called my brother that when he was a baby too...now it's been switched to Buddy.

No children for us yet. I think I'd like to wait a few years. Life is busy enough.
We have a 10-year-old and 17-year-old living with us, Rhiannon and Jake. Good kids but privacy is a hard thing to come by in our home sometimes. Although, having a 17 year old is handy because he can babysit :)

No rush. Take care of business first.
Just don't get so much into the business that there is no room for children.

don't think we'd have been ready in our 20's


hopefully, you will know when the time is right for you two

The main problem with having kids in your 30s is that when the kids are teenagers you are pushing 50. Not good. You will never keep up.

we're keeping up but we outnumber
agree, if we had more than one, would be tougher

My father was 48 when I was born by the time I was a teen he was already becoming an old man.

hopefully, at some point, you'll have time alone to be newlyweds before you become parents
That is definitely the plan! We are young and have lots of time. I don't think we will have any of our own for at least three years. I don't want to wait too long but certainly by the time I'm 24 or 25 should be a reasonable age.
