- How old are you and your SO?
I am 30, he is 32.
- How long have you and SO been together?
11 years, just over.
- What is your relationship status and do you plan to change your status before TTC?
Married and nope
- What do you and SO do for a living currently?
I work in PR, he works in energy. Both officey jobs.
- What are your career plans before and after TTC?
For me, I would like to get a new job. It's a good job but there isn't much by way of promotion prospects. Ideally I will make a step up into another company before we try. Not the end of the world if that doesn't happen. Conditions at work are good, and parental leave is above and beyond the statutory minimum.
My husband is doing so well at work having been promoted to a more senior management post. I'm very proud. He intends to stay for the foreseeable.
- Where do you live and what are your living arrangements like? Do you plan on moving?
We own our home, a little terraced house (not sure what it is called elsewhere. A house with houses either side attached) just outside the centre of town. We don't plan to move for at least a decade but are planning to add a bit to the back to give us a bigger kitchen.
- What's your cultural backgrounds? Any cultural traditions you plan on passing down to your LO's?
Both British. Well, I have Irish family. I don't think we have much culture to pass on really.
- What's your religious backgrounds? Do you plan on raising your kids with the same views?
Both atheists. Our parents are all lapsed - mine and his mum were raised Catholic, his dad CofE, but I don't think anyone has strong views. In his family, church is more a social thing in the village than something deeply held. We won't be raising our child in a faith but will teach them about different beliefs.
