Do you want to have children?

[Swiss_Tengu]

Simple statistics question. Be honest.

It's a necessity for me to become happy

I'd like to have some, but I could live happily without any aswell

I don't plan to have any, but it wouldn't bother me if it happened

No way in hell (for whatever reason)

(Already got some, and wouldn't change it for anything in the world)

(Honestly, if I could go back in time, I would have used a rubber)

In retrospective I'd rather have chosen "Dating" or "Relationships" as a topic, since it's more relevant there. Can't change that now it seems...

I don't want children because:
- I've to deal with diaper change, tantrum, crying, screaming, the challenge of raising them well, them being messy etc. I finds children annoying and messy.
- It costs money and although you gets family benefits, it's still expensive.
- I've not enough patient for this.
- I wants to priority my life on other things. I wants to enjoy my life and do things I likes. Calling the baby sitter is stress. So more spare time to myself.
- I'm high sensitive on smells and sounds.
- I'm fine not having children and it's not a must. It's enough people on earth, so there's no reasons to worry.
- I don't want to be labeled as a bad parent. Not loving your child and wanting to avoid it is seen as a form of child abuse by many. Parenting is a lot of responsibility.
- Lesser conflicts.

I used to want one boy and one girl. Eventually I realized that there will not be any women interested in me so I changed my mind. No kids in my future. There are additional reasons too.

[Owlinprogress]

I don't really know. Right now my future plans consists of living in a small cozy home with my future man. Some days I picture kids in there, other days I don't. I appreciate the calm and quiet noncommittal life, although it would be a bit nice having two curious litte kids running around. Having someone I can guide, and watch grow and develop as time goes by.

Yes I want kids one boy and one girl i also want pets and to adopt my third child and give him or her so much love i will support that child just like my own and pay for the college and every thing if they want to meet the real parents I'm fine with that if they push me away i will still love that child i really want to adopt

[bubbles328]

I didn't want kids and never would have ever dreamed I would ever be a single mum but I have 2 and dad vanished and hasn't been seen in years but I wouldn't change my life for the world! I love being single and having kids keeps me occupied and satisfied at home! I think I am very lucky to have my little family!

[kirbykupo]

No I do not want children. I can't even take care of myself. There's no way I'm getting pregnant and ruining my body. I'm not stable mentally, financially, or physically. I like money and to spend on myself and friends. Children are too expensive. I know I could adopt but no, I'm not a fan of children.

[Jellow]

I dont plan to have any because I dont see myself in a situation it would be fair to the child I'd be bringing into the world. Maybe in a perfect world. I dont want to bring a child into the world to suffer just because I want one.

[Mekara]

I really don't want kids. I could never picture myself as a mother. Maybe someday waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line, i'll "consider" the idea. But for now, no children for me.

[MysteriousDarkness]

I like kids and in some cases love kids but do not want any. The world is so messed up as it is. Too many kids are in forster care and orphanages as it is. I do not want to raised a child in a social media obsessed society. Yes I do use social media. My girlfriend already has a grown son who is 22. She can not have any more kids besides she dies not want any more kids even if she could. That is just some of the reasons.

[Anjie2218]

I don't want kids I have pets. I want to adopt but that's down the line and with or without a partner it's happening.

[KenM9215]

I would love to have children someday. I know mentally, financially, and emotionally I'm not ready for them, not yet.

[KenM9215]

Thank you very much for MHG

[foodtv]

YES!!! My dream job for the past however many years I can think, has been to become a stay at home mom!

[Monstarz]

50/50 i hate those snotty boogers but they are so cute, I hate how bad they are but they have a laugh that makes u smile in turn, I hate the idea of pushing a boulder out of my jayjay but the babies are so squishy

I think I would love to get married and have kids, but I have a lot of education and career goals that I want to accomplish first. So I don't plan to get married for another 5 or 10 years and I don't plan to have kids for another 10 or 15 years. So there's that.

[Jemini_Crocket]

Personally, I don't want to have kid because of how the society and whole world works today. I'd have to be 100 % sure about my decision.

But with the right guy, maybe yes.

[Kaylyne]

I'm currently pregnant with our first child, who will be arriving at the end of October. :)

[TacosRAwesome]

I want to have a couple of kids someday in the not so far future :) ideally they get their baby sleep patterns from my sister because if they get mine, it's terrible. As for what I want, I've decided on 2 kids whatever they are.

[Maveth]

One of my top reasons I don't want kids is changing diapers. I'm sorry but I can't touch or look at someone else's feces😷 I'm sorry but that's just repulsive to me

[curiousnorway]

Agree. But some people adopts children who's older than six years old. So it's a possibility if that's the only cons.

[browneyedgirl88]

yes I really want a family, and my own children some day, I can see it bringing me a lot of happiness

[Ganbygail12]

I'd love to have kids, preferably 5 or 7 if I adopt a couple! Of course only if I meet a guy who would be good dad material...

[Hinata01]

I'm definitely not ready for any kids soon but hopefully in the future, I would like to have two kids: one boy and one girl

[Prettygurl12]

I don't want kids but if I were to get pregnant then I probably wouldn't abort. That's where I am right now.

[rassclart]

Yes 2 kids a boy n girl I would like but you never know I might have twins who knows.. I would like to have kids with the right person hopefully

[XRabbitHeartX]

I am currently undecided. The older I get, the less I want kids.

[Kitten967]

I already have a daughter, I wouldn't change her for the world.

[ClassyMe]

Heck Yes!!! I love kiddos (although I hate teenagers so I'll have to prepare myself for that lol). Babies make me happy! They're so cute and innocent. I want like 5-7 kids!!!
