I do have a family already but I guess you mean if I want to get married and have children some day? Yes. Because I think I can be a good husband and father, when my life's sorted out that is. 😅

As a child I disliked being near babies. Whenever I had to go to a get-together I used to ask my parents if there will be babies around. For some weird reason babies and children are always drawn to me. When I was a 4-5 years old kid I used to find this very annoying. Now I don't but it's not like I go and play around with babies whenever I see them, I just don't avoid them like I used to as a child. And now I feel like there might be a reason why children are drawn to me. Maybe they see something in me that I fail to see. So maybe it'll be good to be the reason for some people's happiness, could be a wife, some children and a few furry little puppies, cats or maybe even hamsters and mice. 😊

Other than that I love supporting people. I love being the person people come to for motivation. Like my mother and sister both share their problems with me. If I can't solve their problems, I make sure I encourage them to do what's necessary and I be there for support whenever and however I can. I'm the youngest in my family but apparently I understand them more than they understand each other. See, I don't do that for everyone. I only give my time and energy to those I'm very close to. This is what makes me feel like I can be a good, hopefully even great husband and father.

I shit you not, my dream since kindergarten was to be a dad. During kindergarten grad I got on stage and said when I grow up I want to be a daddy. I’m pretty sure I just wanted to be “like my dad” because at the time I had so many options. But I saw him in the crowd and that’s what came out my mouth.

20 something years later here I am, still aspiring to be a father some day. My dream has always been to be the best husband and father ever. In that order.

Growing up I was in a pretty dysfunctional family that fell apart after my parents’ divorce. We act like we’re super close during holidays but don’t really get together and do family things on normal days. My relationship with my mom was pretty bad up until my early 20s. She’s schizophrenic but as a child I didn’t know. So it’s always felt like I missed out on a mother’s up and the feeling of being part of a healthy and loving parent.

My aspiration is to do it the right way this time around and break the cycle of dysfunction. I want to find an amazing woman who will give my children what my mother didn’t give me and do my best to raise my family happily and healthy.

Don't feel at a stage where I am ready mentally, physically or financially to have a healthy pregnancy and be a stable parent. I'm focusing on weight loss, my job, mental health, travel, buying a house beforehand. I recently graduated from a two year college course and bought a car and I finally am just starting to enjoy my life slowly but surely. I went ahead and got the Mirena IUD birth control that lasts 5 years put in last month because I certainly don't see having kids in my life at this stage.

loveisbeautiful · Accepted Answer

Yes, I do. The only thing I've ever wanted in this life was to be a wife and mother but I'm already 32, so ever year that passes that dream gets less and less likely. It actually makes me sad to think about because it's very important to me and it hurts to think I'm never going to have that.

AngelLily · Accepted Answer

I want a family becouse I want to share my love faith and compassion with others and make productive members of society 💗

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I'm not against the idea of finding that special someone, but I don't want kids, because I just don't want that responsibility.

There's no certainty I'll think that way forever though and I could easily change my mind if I meet that special someone and date them for a while.

ariadneR · Answer

Yes. Although I am running g out of time and sometimes I feel like I'm losing hope.
Family is everything to me. So having one of my own will just make me the happiest in the world.
I fantasise about it a lot. What my children will look like with my boyfriend. He only wants 2. I want more. As far as I'm concerned he can keep me pregnant 😂😂 our day to day life. Waking up on the weekends with the kids running into our bed, and either me or him making breakfast probably pancakes. Have a pot of coffee brewing cause even though my boyfriend and I dont drink it he likes the smell.
Taking the kids out. Playing in the back yard. Doing little things.
Yeah I think about it a lot. I still have faith and hope itll happen

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Nope! Why?
Either me nor my wife are appealed to be parents, the economy is getting worse for the last 30 years and it's not looking good in the future either. We have our own problems that we are very far from fixing them and them bring a child in this mess , i mean! Look around you. It's all cute and sweet but am not ready to pay the price nor the wife. 99% of my friends have kids and they all tell us that we did a smart move by not getting kids but at the same time none of us sees it as a smart move/decision it's just a decision we are making now that we will regret it in the future but still! it's our decision and we are ready to take the consequences no matter what.

StephenCF · Answer

Yes, I hope to marry a Turkish Muslim girl I love and raise a family with her (in Ireland) consisting of 2-3 kids, and they will stand out like monarchy from the other conformist children by dressing only in the classy, formal clothes we buy or make for them... 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦❤️🇮🇪🇹🇷

xkildy · Answer

As we age we desire people who we can trust and who will be kind to us. Don't know about you all but 90percent of people will not treat you right when your an elder. Cause at that point basically your a handful. So if you have a family and you treat them right and raise then right they will respect you and want to give back to you all the years you put in to raise and take care of them.

Thatsamazing · Answer

I already have one. I think you meant to ask, "do you want to reproduce one day?" And, no.

Also, girls posting photos of the inside of their uterus on Facebook or whatever is fucking trashy and stupid as hell.

EmmaMary · Answer

I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with our first, and we simply couldn't be any happier.

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

I am a pariah on both sides of my family. I have 9 siblings, 8 of them hate me
My dad died, and my mom was abusive to me growing up.

I want a family one day, because I want to give a child all the things I wish I had growing up. I want a son or daughter who has a positive male role model in their life, who teaches them, builds their character, gives them affirmation, and encourages them to pursue their passions.

someginger · Answer

I keep going back and forth on the idea, sometimes I think I might enjoy a wife and kids, but I also think that am not really made for that and being tied down and not being able to do what I want then I want might be a little to much for me

Jesslin412 · Answer

I get sick to my stomach at the idea but I’m coming around to it 🙈🙈🙈🙈 Some days I get baby fever.

Anonymous · Answer

I like the assurance that I will have people around me that I can love and that will love me. Plus I want to have a decent, functioning family. My family life as of now is not good and I want to at the very least be better than both my parents. I want to be better and I want a normal, happy family.

Yeah I want a family someday. I want to raise my child in a good home with two loving parents. I want to make sure he or she is raised kindly and can spread positive messages to their friends and later on, kids

The1person · Answer

I like kids, their fun to be around a bunch of fun little people, until it gets annoying * quite quickly if I say so myself, and it's a huge load of work so probably not but if my girlfriend/ wife would want to I might give in but maybe hire a maid to take care of the day to day issues, probably.

Hans222 · Answer

SergeantSmoke · Answer

Absolutely! Family is a dream for me. It doesn't even have to include Kids, either... Just me and a Special Girl. Nothing really influenced my decision... I just want to not be alone.

Thotkiana · Answer

The desire is there but it’ll probably never happen

TrueAquarius · Answer

I really used to want to when I was younger and naive but seeing my friends lives they have kids their lives are horrible they all seem trapped I knew I did not want any of that. I still want to get married to the right girl but I would also be happy just living together because this way you can up and leave if need be and no harm to anyone's finances or anything.

Harmseygrace · Answer

Yup I do. It wasn't really a decision, I've been raised sort of that way. I also love babies and children. When you hold them and they look up at you and smile, it's the cutest thing. I want 6, my boyfriend only wants 2, but I got him to 4. 😂
