Cupid’s Advice:

It’s important to discuss with your partner how many kids you’re interested in having before starting a family. As your relationship progresses along with work and other things, you’ll know how many children you can handle:

1. Babysit: Of course one of the best ways to see how many children you’d want to have is to babysit. Offer to help out with a friend’s kids for a weekend just to get some insight into the ups and down of raising a family.

2. Know: Know how many kids you and your partner want before having children. Kids need constant attention, so you need to be able to provide financial and emotional support for them.

3. Decide if you’re ready: A lot of couples plan for a specific time in their relationship to have children for different reasons. Talk to your significant other and see if you’re even ready at this moment in time for kids.
