Looking for questions to ask each other to prepare for being a parent!

Hi everyone!I hope this post is allowed here, this seemed like the best community to ask. If this is not the right place, I apologize!I am VERY ready to start trying for our first kid, but my husband is not. We've had a few discussions over the past year around having kids, and three months ago I went off hormonal birth control in preparation (with his knowledge, and we're still using protection). I told him yesterday that I'm ready to start trying, and he said he's still wrapping his head around how his life will change once we have a kid, and around moving into this new stage of his life. I understand his perspective, but I'm very worried that he'll never feel "ready" and we'll end up waiting ages for a moment that will never come.The agreement we've come to is that starting in September, we're going to ask each other one question per day around being pregnant/having kids. I think this will help him process the idea of having a kid (he's someone that likes to overthink every decision), and it will definitely help prevent me from feeling like I'm just waiting around for him to feel "ready." Besides, these are conversations we need to have a some point regardless!So, this is where I could use your help! I'm trying to come up with a list of questions we can discuss. I want there to be some lighter ones to help get him excited for kids, but of course there should be some more serious questions too. Some of these things we've already partially discussed (religion, number of kids, work/finances) but I feel we could stand to have a more in depth discussion. Here's what I've got so far:What are you looking forward to about having kids?What are you nervous about?Are there any naming traditions you want to carry on? Any names that you hate and will never use? Any names you love and definitely want to use?Do you still want two kids? Do you want to have them close together or farther apart?Do you want to find out the gender in advance, or do your want it to be a surprise?Would you be interested in taking parenting classes or getting books to read together to learn more about being a parent?What kind of things did your parents do that you want to do with our kids?What kind of things did your parents do that you do NOT want to do with our kids?What are your thoughts on disciplining the kids?How religious do you want to raise the kids?How will you feel if the kids are gay/transgender/etc?What do you envision your role as a parent to be like?Is there any activities or interests you hope our kids will enjoy/take part in?What financially to you want to plan for (cars/university/weddings/etc)? What do you want the kids to be responsible for paying for on their own?What are your thoughts on travelling with kids?That's pretty much what I've got! Do you have any questions you would add (especially lighter ones)? Is there anything that you wished you had discussed with your partner before having a kid?Thanks in advance for your help! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2o9nIMK
