I actually read a romance once in a while, and I don't mind romantic subplots in other genres, even though I'm an absolutely unromantic person in real life. But I've never liked romances where kids play an important role. I prefer the main couple having kids after the end of the book, off-screen, if they have to have them.

And all those trashy romances with "baby" in the title... just yuck.
