[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he want children? If so, have you asked him who is going to stay home with a newborn? Drop-off and pick up kids from daycare/school? Give baths, put kids to bed? Help with homework? [b]Drive to little league and gymnastics?[/b]

I think his answers to these questions will give you a sense of what kind of father he plans to be, although my guess is that he hasn't given these things a moment's thought and won't even after the kids are born.

I wouldn't marry a guy who intends to keep working those kinds of hours, but I wanted a full parenting partner. [/quote]

How about drive to little league, gymnastics, basketball, and dance if you decide to have four kids. Granted, you don't have to let them all do activities, but even if they all play soccer, they'd be in different age groups that practice and play at different times (unless you end up with twins and even then they could be split by gender).

Does he expect that you will handle the logistics of everything and just tell him where to be and when? What if the kids are sick (and by the way, they get sick a lot) - who is going to pick them up from daycare or school? When we get a call from the school nurse it's a toss up as to which one of us will go get the kids, depending on who is doing what that day. Are you willing to be the one who always puts her job and life on the back burner?[/quote]
