Do you want to have children?

Do you want to have children?

I have a son in his father's custody. His father even says he will hold some crap against me for the rest of his life.
 
At this point, No I don`t want. I don`t like kids very much. Most of them are stupid. But maybe just MAYBE I get at least one if I find someone I truly want to have a child with. But I prefer to adopt one than to "make" one. There are many unwanted kids in this world, so if I at some point want to raise a kid with my woman I would rather adopt a kid who was abandoned and give him a loving home. I would love to teach the kid my philosophy, about the cruel world, make sure he/she will grow up as a good person and be a father he/she can be proud of.

But, that`s not what I need think about now at this point of my life. My mind can change in time.
 
i have 3 teenage boys, one of them also has as traits, teenage boys are a diferent species but they are great fun and good company at times. i wouldnt be without them
 
I'll never want kids- I can't see myself being a good father. I have a lot of younger cousins, but I wouldn't trust myself to keep an eye on any of them during the day. I don't think I would be attentive enough. And as far as being a father... I wouldn't know how to handle it, how to do it, and I don't want my genes to be passed on any further anyway. I really don't even plan on marriage. I've had enough relationships to know that I know little about making one work.
 
Yes, I cant wait to be a father. Ive wanted kids for a few years lol. I wont even go into a relationship with someone if they dont want to have children in the future. Thats how sure I am that i want children soon.
 
This might be interesting. Do you want to have children? Do you think it is a good idea to bring children of your own into the world and do you think that you would make a good parent?

Yes, I'd like children someday.. I think I wouldnt be a brilliant parent, I have my faults, but I know how to compromise and listen.. hopefully my kids will be strong and independent.
 
I have a 2-year old son and it was the best thing I've ever done. I never, ever wanted kids but my husband convinced me and I don't regret it at all now. Having a child has taught me so much and has helped me come out of AS quite a bit. He is such a sweet little angel and he brings so much meaning to my life. We're trying for another child now.
 
I would have to say no simply on account of the fact I'd never be able to support one, financially I mean. I have identical twin nephews (they'll be four in October) and I love spending time with them, but I doubt I'd make a very good parent myself. Plus there's the little problem of needing a woman to have a child lol; I suck at relationships.

On a side note: there is also the possibililty that your child may grow up to become a serial killer/rapist/genocidal dictator etc.

But the main reason I'd never have a child is the possibility that he/she might turn out like me.
 
I don't ever want kids. I have enough trouble living with my siblings... I want a private home of my own, no one messing it up or waking me up too early or interrupting me, etc. I guess I'm selfish but I'm very tired of living with people and I've always wanted to live alone.
I don't even want to get married, for the same reasons. I need privacy and independence.
 
I would like to have children one day, obviously not yet though. I would need to be earning money and be confident that I could provide for any children I might have. But for me the most important thing would be to make sure that any child of mine grows up knowing I'll always be there for them and they don't have to keep secrets from me - I went through a period of depression when I was 13 and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and I would never get over it if a child of mine took their own life because they were depressed and didn't feel they could talk to me.
