Do you think you will ever have children? Why or why not?

I have 2 lovely kids but i'm not having anymore.

probably but not until my 29/30

I have one son. He's in the Airforce.

So, your job is done? Cool. I have a long way to go still.

Nope.

Absolutely not, my genes shall disappear with me. They shall not spread around.

Adoption is a possibility though. But that is only after I have graduated and gotten a stable job.

I'd love to one day. Two kids, preferably.

Maybe some day, but not for awhile, I'm nowhere near that stage in my life yet.

I'd love to experience it, but I'm too shy and have left it too late I think.

I don't plan on ever having kids, the main reason being I don't like children. Another reason is that there are too many people on this planet as it is and I don't want to add to this overpopulated planet.

We've got three kids. When you get older, life gets to be extremely routine. That stuff that was fun in your younger days, like anything you've done a thousand times before, loses its charm. Kids are the only thing that keeps life fresh and new, full of new challenges and new rewards.

It's possible. Not sure. Lot of responsibility and time. But my gf's clock is ticking.

I'd have to be in a stable relationship first. So once I've got that sorted I'd have a better answer.

To answer your question TC, I probably will. Now that I'm thinking about it more, I might adopt.

No. Neither me nor the wife like kids. Nor do I give a sh*t about carring on my legacy, my name (though around 25,000 people in this world have my last name, so it's not dying out anytime soon), or my genes.

No, never will. A) I don't like kids and B)I'm never getting married, so my family name, legacy, or whatever is ending with me.

Definitely. I've wanted to be a dad ever since I was 15. For obvious reasons, however, I don't plan on having kids until I'm financially independent and have a stable job. When I do have kids, I'll probably adopt one and have one of my own, and I want both a boy and a girl.

Thought I would never want kids. Over the years my family has dispersed across the country. I suddenly came to the realization that it would be nice to have my own family. My mind changed just that quick. I'm 33 and pretty stable so I decided now was the time. She'll be here on January 3rd if things go according to plan :). My life has already changed quite a bit because my wife and I can't do some things that we enjoy since she's pregnant which is ok because overall it's forcing me to leave some things I've clinged to from my youth behind. Sometimes the prospect of having my own kid is a little daunting but I'm sure when I see her it'll all be worth it. junglist101

Yes, alot.

Also to add, I feel that people who shoose not to have children will be desperately aad when they get to an old age a realize they've waated their life.

At 26 years old. looking forward to being a dad one day. hopefully sometimes in the next 5 years. I would - ideally - like to live long enough to see grand kids, don't want to be on the way out of life when my kids just reached their early 20's.

need a job first.

have personally wanted a 'large' family of 3 or 4 kids myself. i put the ' marks because my concept of large is like 6 or 8 kids.

I was out yesterday with my brother and his girlfriend out at the Mall of America and Nick Universe, and from time to time i couldn't help but think about being a dad and having my own little ones.

so to think will i ever have kids? i hope. for some of the reasons i already described.

That's so sweet :')

I have never been around an infant whose company I enjoyed. Foul little creatures.

Not for a long time. I've realized that the ultimate key to success in this universe isn't being the strongest, or the smartest, or the best looking. It's not having f*cking kids, not until you're way PAST whatever point in your life that you think you're prepared. Sure, being smart or good looking helps, but the real secret is to not have children, for a long, long time.

They're too much of a burden. You can't focus as heavily on school studies, or your military career, or even pursue a lot of other opportunities because you're too busy with your obnoxious sh*t machine that's crying in the corner.

Hell yeah. I would parent the s**t out of them.

Never. They take too much time, money and energy away. Being stuck in that sort of tiring routine for 20+ years is the last thing I want out of my life.

If I ever decide sometime down the line that I want kids, I will adopt them.

reading some of the responses on here. somehow not surprised one bit.

Nope.

Too much work.

Yes, because I want kids. Even if I never wind up married, I want at least one child.

Yes because when I'm old and about to die I think I would regret not having them. I don't want that to happen. Men are fortunate to be able to wait longer than women to decide but I think it's definitely something I should start thinking about more seriously soon.

Yes, alot.

Also to add, I feel that people who shoose not to have children will be desperately aad when they get to an old age a realize they've waated their life.
