Do You Want Kids?

[Waddler]

I don't want children, ever. There are medical reasons for that, but they're secondary to the fact I just don't want kids.

What about you?

 

[Saucy]

Yes. I'm ready to be a dad

 

[Miss Spaulding]

I'm on the fence and have been for the past five years or so now. I know that I'm perfectly content being childless at the age I am now and can honestly say that I can see myself still content this way another five years from now.

I like children just fine. And I do like the prospect of being a mother (to my own biological children, not someone else's)...just not for some time. Could this feeling change? Absolutely. But for now I'm happy with how things are.

 

[Noxot]

nope, I won't give into the temptation of one of the best things this life has to offer. i'm really scared I would want them if I had the opportunity but I don't want my life to be about such things.

Ideally, no, but I can't control what happens to a few cells in the heat of passion.

I plan to get a vasectomy.

I plan to get a vasectomy.

I'd never go that far. I just figure I'm unlikely to have a relationship of any kind, so no children for me.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

At least four.

 

[CodyFaith]

Yes, very much so.

Heck no. I'd make a better uncle than a father. Even if I did, this day and age is a terrible time to raise kids.

I agree. This world is pretty cold and cruel..I would be a basket case if something happens to my kid. Anyway my answer is no, I have 2 younger brothers and I was able to remember how it was like when they were babies and able to help my mom take care of them. I remember holding my brother and walking with him back and forth telling him a story until he stopped crying... Man I remember when he was trying to hold his head up ...and now he's 10.

There's Defintely beautiful moments when it comes to having kids but Idk if I can deal with the moments outside of the Kodak picture perfect expectation of having kids.
I love my freedom...but at the same time if it happened...I wouldn't be mad at all, I would be happy they're here...and I would know exactly what I want to instill in them and how to raise them...and I have a lot of love to give so they'll be well care for and deeply loved.
So if they come, they're welcomed and loved...if not that's fine too because kids are extremely expensive and I don't have to worry about puberty and them thinking they're grown when they're not lol and I don't have the burden of worrying endlessly about them..

So either way ill be okay.

I won't go that far until I'm engaged, and my future wife and I have had a chance to talk it over. Unless my mind was changed, I'd get the procedure done well in advance of the wedding, so we wouldn't come back from our honeymoon with any new surprises.

I'm open to changing my mind about children, and if God wants me to have them, I will. But as of right now, I don't see myself as a father. There's a high risk of my children inheriting some of my medical issues, and I don't want that.

 

[smalltowngirl86]

no. I am an aunt. I have two nieces. That is good enough for me.

 

[leothelioness]

I absolutely love children and would love to have some of my own, but since I no longer plan to ever get married I will have to be okay with never having any. I'll just shower all that love on all the precious babies I see so often.

 

[NurseAbigail]

yes and no, too early to tell...if i do have kids i would want 2 (girl and a boy) or 4 (2 boys and 2 girls). I'll most likely homeschool them.

yah if I have kids I would want one girl and one boy and that's it.

 

[JeffofGallifrey]

I would like kids, but I spent enough time raising my cousins/siblings that I'm not in a big hurry. I probably can't have biological kids.

As for my girlfriend, she LOVES kids and she definitely can't have biological kids. So I figure we'll make great foster parents in another 10 years. We've already talked about things we want to do when we have kids around - animals, gardening, maybe homeschooling, having adoption parties, etc.

 

[PeachieKeen]

I can't wait to have kids. Never used to feel that way but definitely have the bug now.

 

[Celticroots]

I don't want kids for medical reasons; I've spent so long trying to care for myself I don't want kids added to the mix. And emotionally I don't think I could handle kids.

 

[blackribbon]

I have two. I will keep them both. It wasn't easy but they are the best thing about my life and the reason I get up every morning. I am looking forward to the next stage which is grandchildren but not quite yet since both kids are still in college.
