How many kids do you want and in what configuration?

[Balugon]

none, in no particular order.

 

[Reanimation]

Two kids. I don't care what sex they are, or how big the age gap is between them etc.

 

[Apollo Celestio]

No children, a fine strip of bacon yes?

 

[HannahBanana]

I want zero kids, since I'm sure I would be an unfit mother. I'm kind of hoping that changes, though. Mothering just seems so rewarding and I'd love to be able to watch a child of mine grow up.

FWIW, the fact that you care about the quality of your parenting skills, plus the fact that you wouldn't want a child of yours to have an unfit mother, leads me to believe that you would probably make a better mom than you think.

 

[country woman]

I have always wanted 2 kids a boy first then a girl.

I did get what I wanted I had my son in 1983 then in 1984 I had my daughter. I did not raise my son, his father did. I raised my daughter She is still living with me,

Aww, thanks. I just really worry about how my different psychological issues would/could affect any future kids that I have. I've heard so many horror stories about women with depression and/or anxiety who totally neglect their kids, and I just don't want to be one of those mothers.

I don't want any children, but I'd do my best if I had them.

 

[Thomas1984]

Is your last name 1984?

Yeah, for real. Remember Jonny 5? He got an upgrade.

Wait. Seriously. Because you know my biological clock is ticking . . . (lol)

Yes, I did just proposition two guys in the same post.

I do accept ad-hoc applications from prospective wives, Supplanter, you can contact me via PM. Have a nice day.

Thomas, you are too sweet. I think the world would be a better place with a litter of mini-'84's running around, too!

I would be Xavier, to their X-Men. I'd have to work hard to stay one step ahead of them though!

 

[PeculiarTreasure]

I honestly don't want kids.

 

[traingosorry]

I'm at the point where I'm pretty sure that I don't want to have biological children. I've seriously thought of being a foster mother to older children though. If I met a guy who was perfect for me in every way except he did want to have biological children, then I'd be ok with having one child. I'm not getting any younger and my ability to have healthy children isn't going to last much longer anyway.

This is exactly how I feel too.

 

[Luther073082]

You ladies ring the alarms on your biological clocks way too early methinks.

 

[traingosorry]

Not really.

My mother had me when she was 30, and there wasn't anything entirely wrong with that, I just always figured if I had kids I would want them before I hit my 30's. 30 is closing in on me, and at this point in my life I don't want kids.

For me the biological clock is an afterthought. Although if you think about it, I'm 30 now. I'm not even dating anyone at the moment. I takes time to date, get engaged, and marry. I haven't even met my future husband yet.

Cause no one has ever conceived a healthy child after age 34.

 

[Inkachu]

Yes, but for someone who wants many children , it's extremely hard to deal with. It's not just because i'm being silly and having a poor me moment. I want to have lots of kids and i don't want to be really old in having them- not because i'm a brat that doesn't trust God, but because I don't want to endanger them with health risks that older pregnacies can cause, and I want to have the energy that goes with the younger years to keep up with them. I had older parents, and while they were wonderful, there are some things that i saw them live that i would not want to go through in rasing my own children. It's not a silly little issue to me, it means a lot to me.

I can see how much it means to you. I just want you to know that God isn't screwing something up here...He knows what He's doing. If you're blessed with children later in life, God will take care of you and your childrens' health! There are many, many women who have perfectly normal pregnancies and healthy babies after 35. You can also adopt/foster parent, even if you're a single woman, and bless the lives of children who have nobody else. I definitely know that it's not a silly issue, and I hope you will trust Him to bring your desires to life, at just the right time

 

[Luther073082]

Just stay in shape Mina and you'll keep the energy. There are 80 year old out there that run marathons. I've never been able to run a marathon.

Yup, which is why I had mine at 33.

My grandma had my aunt at the age of 42 (I'm 2 years older than that aunt) so I realize that it's possible.

Like I said before, the biological clock is just an afterthought to me. My 18 month old nephew was here last night and don't get me wrong he's so adorable in looks (enormous brown eyes, chubby cheeks) and personality (he's a charmer already) but I'm happy just being an aunt. I'm sure I'd be a fine mother but I just don't think or feel like motherhood is really for me. I have prayed about this and I'm positive that God has other plans for me.
