Definitely not. Kids take up a lot of time, money, energy, everything.
For me personally, I dreamt of having several years with a partner before even talking about having kids. Now, sadly I'm at the stage of planning my life without either, however, nonetheless, I'd definitely still want time with just her before either of us worried about trying to raise a kid.
It's a bit selfish, but I'd want time with just me and her. Once there's a kid, the kid comes first. It's kinda a sad reality but I've never really been anyone's first or most important, except to perhaps my mother until she had a daughter. I wouldn't want to give that up soon after acquiring it.

@Kodel That's my thing too, except I wouldn't want the time with just us to end. Not until one of us or both has passed away anyway.

@JimFarris16 I definitely like the idea of like a small group that you keep pretty close over the years and you stay pretty tight knit until the time comes. In my mind, my partner would be the core of that group for me, but there are others that I enjoy spending time with comparably so. Even though I'm quite an antisocial person, it's definitely good to have others to talk to and enjoy time with.
