Do You Want Children?

[*Learningtobreathe*]

i have already picked out names and what i want, i want 3 girls and 3 boys.
i hope for twins but with my family history, its not possible.
if i have 2 girls they are going to be, Alexis Aurora and Nancy Charlene
if i get lucky and have 2 boys they are going to be, Richard Thomas and Vernon Daniel.

[PointeStarr]

I want alot of kids, its very unrealistic but I want at least 8 of my own. I also plan on adopting.

[Mandylion]

i dont care about gender. i want at least 3 preferably 4 all of them about 2 years apart

[CelticCheetah]

I'm thinking I want three boys and one girl, with my family history I should end up with at least one set of twins that are (girl boy)
and I will name them Persephoné Ann Nicole and Perseus Dominic (or Darius) Laramie or Elliott
And then for my other two boys (who will hopefully be a year apart each) they are James Anthony Roy and Benjamin Timothy Nathaniel <3

[Troubled_Heart]

Don't want children...
If I was unfortunate to get pregnant I would keep it though
But I don't really see myself in a relationship...

[EndureEmo]

i only want 1 or 2 when im like 28 or older.
but im most likey to have male twins it runs in the family.

[escape_thereal_world]

I would like to have a set of twins and another child later, or just three children 2-3 years apart.
I always preferred boys haha, but I'm not opposed to a girl. If I have more than one child, I'd like to have at least one girl in the mix.

[abandoning]

i have 2.... of each!! :O
lol
Cecelia Michelle and Emerson Ryan (due in december!)

we MIGHT have another in 7 years or so...

[Haunted]

I wanted to have 3 kids and at least 2 girls when I was a child. When I told that to my dad when I was like 9 he looked at me strangely. Now I get why.
I'd love to have two girls and somehow I have already thought about names:
I'll name them like the most important people of my life: my best friend and my sister (Ariana Joy) and my other best friend (Tania).

When people name children, I think of my friend Marta, who wants to have a baby at 18 and at least 4 children before she's 25... I'm not even sure that's possible! To me it's strange, but to her it's completely normal because she has a brother and 2 sisters.

So he has to accept what you want but you don't have to accept what they want? Right....


And I want two kids in total, hopefully one girl one boy.

[equinox]

I'm not sure, one or two maybe. Depends on how I'm living d:

[justfallinginlove]

I want to have a little girl

[Revolution]

I do not want children momentarily. Maybe someday, but for the moment, I think I would be a terrible mother and I really don't like kids. If I have kids, I want two or less. The world is so overpopulated, they don't need me adding to that. And I would consider adoption first.

And this may seem mean, but I don't understand how people can want a particular set of children, like "I want two girls, and one boy" or "I want one boy" or something. You have no control over that. I feel that it is setting yourself up for disappointment. I don't know though, I don't want kids, maybe I just don't understand, and somebody please explain it to me, I'm really not trying to sound mean! But I've never understood wanting a particular order, or particular gender. It's going to happen how it happens, and you really don't have a lot of control over it. Picking names is different, you will have control over that. But particular order? Not your control.

I just read a book about this, though to be fair, it was about countries such as China and India, who do choose gender (in favor of having a boy), through one method or another. Whether one finds it morally correct or not to "choose" the gender of one's offspring, it is possible. If you want the specific methods of how this is done, please PM me as I do not want to get into it on this thread.

I don't really want kids because I believe I'd be an awful parent and also, from a purely selfish point of view, they'd frankly ruin my life. If I was going to have one though (and it would *not* be more than one) I'd want a girl...

[Magical Forest.]

I'd love kids someday. Hoping that it's not soon, ideal age I guess would be 25.
I'd be fine with 2, I'd love to have at least 1 girl, I know what to do with them!

[Isaiah_41:13]

I want to biologically have two kids; a boy and a girl. and I want to adopt as many kids as I can, especially teenagers because not many people adopt them. but I will adpot little kids too. I really want a lot of kids.

[xx little miss clumsy xx]

Yes, I would like children. Maybe three of them, probably no more than four. I would quite like at least one of each gender, but when it comes down to it, I dont really mind too much!

[*Learningtobreathe*]

i like the fact that you want to adopt teenagers. i want to as well becasue not many people are willing to adopt them.

They have to do in depth screenings on you and do background checks. So when they read it and it says that I was committed to a mental hospital more that 13 times they aren't going to give a kid to me, especially when they see all of my scars which are difficult to cover up. I have really bad knees and a bad back which makes it very painful just to walk which would make it difficult for me to run after the kid or be quick enough if something were to happen. I also have brain tumors which cause severe mingraines. When I have a migraine there is no way I can take care of a child.

[guillotine_blades]

My boys will be about 4 and a half years apart when the baby is born. I have 3 step daughters so when the baby is born we will be at a total of 5 kids....I want to keep going! I keep telling Dale (my fiance) I would have a football team if he would let me! lol I think he is just about done though!

[La Tortuga Manuelita]

I thought I wanted 5 kids until I had my son! lol I'd like to have one or two more, but definitely not more than that. I am also definitely not having another baby until I finish university, so unfortunately my son won't have a sibling really close in age like I always planned. That's life though! You can plan all you want, but sometimes things just happen!

[Unicorn ♥✿]

Yes, two or more. And I want to adopt or get a surrogate mum xx

[Awakening]

I want to actually have 2 kids. I'd also love to adopt or do foster care at some point.

[MandyGrrl]

Not for a while but probably 2 kids.

[hg16x]

i would love to have children, loads! i am apart of a Big family n i have so many nieces and nephews so thats what i know. i cant wait to be a mum, i really love kids but i want to be in a stable relationship n have a good job before having kids :-)

[Le bonheur*]

I changed my mind. In my previous post I said I wanted 3, but I only want one or two now. Probably going to adopt and probably far far into the future because I take care of my cat now and he's more work than a child. I think I'm good with children until I'm like 28. 10 more years seem good.

[Soliloquy]

No, I don't think I want children. Maybe I'll change my mind someday, but if I'm perfectly honest, I don't think I could sacrifice that much of myself. I certainly understand why people have kids, but I'm a free spirit and I'm not sure that'd mix well with having a child. I don't want to feel tied down. But if I do have kids, I think I'll have two, as I love my sister and would like for my kids to be able to have that kind of sibling bond. I would adopt as well.

[ChaosControl]

Right now I don't want children, since I'm at uni and I'm not in a long term relationship. As for the future... it's not very high on my to do list but I reckon my feelings might change if I meet someone I really want to settle down with. Maybe, maybe not, who knows. My mindset right now is "OMG NEVER" but I've been broody in the past so I can't really say

[KeepOnDreaming]

Yes I do want children someday. I want 3. Not too big of an age difference, probably no more than five years apart. Maybe 2-4 years apart.

...Hopefully if I ever find the right person </3

[Eldora]

Probably. A year ago I would've said: "Dammit! I'm never, ever having kids, don't even ask me that," or something along those lines. But after meeting my two cousins Taylor and Briana, and holding my cousin Jennifer's newborn baby about five minutes ago, I changed my mind completely.

I'll wait until after college, and after I've been married and settled into a good job. Then I'll have my kids. One or two, and they'll probably have really odd names. For instance, Sigrid Odina, which I think is one of the most beautiful names on the face of the planet. And probably a flower or plant name of some sort, because I love flowers and plants.

But that'll have to wait for a long, long while.

[MacGuffin]

I'm undecided yet. But if I do have children, it will probably only be one, and no more than two. If I had my way I'd like to have a little girl (although my boyfriend wants a boy, so we'll see).

[chickenonsteroids]

Can't there be a poll on this?

I'm not sure yet

[Verità]

Personally, I don't think kids are going to be in future. I'll be the cool aunt that lets my nieces/nephews break all the rules.

But anyways, my reasoning is pretty much because I'm just selfish. My first point: Children are expensive. REALLY expensive. I know some people may think it's worth it, but I have a lot of dreams, mostly of travel. I think of how much children cost, with food, clothing, medical expenses, toys, etc, and all I can think is about how many different countries I could go to if I didn't spend that money.

Second - children take up a lot of time. I love my friends and family, but I also thoroughly enjoy a lot of time where it's just me - alone. I've always been this way, it's just who I am. Having a child is like signing your life away for many years. Your life becomes driving them to and from places, cooking for them, caring for them, playing with them. I don't see any time for myself fitting in there. And again, I just don't see that as being worth it.

Finally, I've heard a lot of people say that they love their children more than their significant other. I just can't bear the thought of that. I don't want to love anyone in the universe more than the person I'm meant to spend the rest of my life, and I don't want that person to love anyone more than me. I know it's terrible, but I already said I was selfish.

That being said, if children ever end up in my life, I think I would adopt (childbirth grosses me out) an older child or a teenager. Babies just don't really appeal to me, you can't really interact with them. I'd rather have a PERSON to love.

[Lucille]

i've never wanted to have my own but adopting is sumthing that interests me
