When I was 5 years old I found out that my dad was not my real dad that guy used to beat me with a belt if I did anything that he thought was wrong I never could understand beating somebody the way he used to beat me and then say I love you I never understood that when I was 10 they divorced 12 my mom remarried he put his hands on me once for just a few seconds at sixteen I moved out so I basically have always had to find my own way I swear if I ever had children I would do completely opposite of my dad for sure I didn't meet him until I was 27 my mom did what she could do and I respect and I appreciate the number for that but I just thought I had a better way to raise children so I always said when I have them they will become the smartest the greatest kids around and that's what that happened the day that my son was conceived we are on vacation and I knew at that moment I got her pregnant he is now a fireman paramedic I never had to yell at him and never threatened him I never spanked him all I would do is give him some simple words very, very quiet for maybe about two minutes and it was done and over with if you did something wrong having a child is the most powerful thing that can happen to a human being it is a responsibility that you do not take lightly I felt my job was to make my kids 2 times better than me in every way and that means as a parent you have to be thinking at all times because your child stares at you everything that you do and mimics everything you do they learn why the words you say they learn by your actions your body language your tone of voice and if you want your child to be good you have to understand all of this you have to be a teacher twenty-four hours a day so you don't put that input into the only good positive input you don't do anything wrong around them you don't say things about other people you don't there's a lot of things you have to do you got to be on top of it when you when you have a child your goal should be making that child the best human being that you can possibly make

When I hang out with my little nephews they gave me joy but I still think it's not for me because I think my children should be my responsibility for life even when they're old and I'm not sure I can guarantee them that so I don't want to start something I'm not sure I could finish... I still don't know if I would ever change my mind in the future...
No i value my privacy, money, freedom, career, over kids. I wanna do whatever i want whenever i want and not be tied down to a huge responsibility. I’d rather have pets. I love animals so much more and i work with them so i would much rather deal with a puppy than a baby. I certainly do not want to deal with human baby feces and diaper changing. I’d rather deal with dog poop and cat litter and soiled puppy pads… babies are not even cute tbh. I don’t see the hype about them? My friends have babies and i will ignore their child but pay attention to their dog or cat. I also do not want to spend any of my money on my child whatsoever! I don’t want to be a mom, i want to work have a career and make money. Last thing, I certainly will not push something the size of a melon out of me. No thanks! I would never sacrifice my life for my child.. no offense lol. I don’t want kids to be my universe, i want my husband and my career to be my world not kids.
Yes and no. I’m at the age where if I have them it would be nice but also I love my sleep and being single and no kids feels good too. On the other hand I’d love to be a mom but not in this generation where kids are getting confused as to what gender they are etc

I have no kids, and NO I have no interest in ever having kids. Why?
I like having money, peace and quiet, doing what I want, and my independence. In addition, I realized at an early age that just because I am a female and have the ability to have kids does not mean I have to have reproduce. Basically kids are not for everyone, and I am mature enough to realize that.I never wanted children. I can't handle the idea of raising a child from infant to adult.
My SO has two grown children ages 25 (son) and 20 (daughter). The son is a civil engineer (my profession), and the daughter is a huge F1 fan- even if she does like Lewis Hamilton.
Both of those children are amazing. I like spending time with them.Nope.
About 10 years or so years ago, I did, because I never really thought about it and thought it was just the normal thing to do.
For the last few years at least when I think about it, I don't want them.
The idea of raising them just doesn't sit well with me, plus I doubt they'd want to be brought into this world, I mean I didn't, so I'd rather they don't suffer either.Personally for me I don't want kids I have every intention when I get older to have my tubes tied. But even though I am a adult they said that I should wait till I'm older and all that speel. I don't want kids because Personally it ties you down with so much stuff and I honestly prefer to have a stable job and travel places to places because I like the idea of adventures without feeling in my eyes I'm ruining my life by have a kid I never wanted nor asked for. That's just my opinion I know everyone says "you'll grow out of it" but honestly I would rather not have kids at all. Like it's never appealed to me.
Nah, don't need them little wallet suckers. I hear kids cry, whine, throw tantrums, and won't stfu in the bathroom every week. that's enough reason to not have them. Well not through sex, adopting a 9 year old or older sounds much better. If my girl wants one.
I want someday, maybe 3 or 4 one, however I am really scared of giving birth, so I think the first two I can give birth myself but maybe the other two can be born with the help of surrogate. I don’t want my body to change dramatically.
I have two.
I didn’t care if I have or not have when single or even after married.
when the time came… we tried and it worked…then my mom said have another one… and it worked.. so here they are… two beautiful smart kids.Sure , I want. Small hands , sweet nose , smiling cutie cheeks , soft and innocent heart melting face... I hope I will have daughters in the future wishes from God <3

I'm not sure if I want to have kids. I have a lot of things to take into consideration before thinking of bringing another human being into this crazy world.
I'm not really sure. I used to think I wanted at least 2 children but now with the pandemic, life isn't cheap, climate change, etc. I don't want to give my children a bad life
I don't want to have kids through a pregnancy. If I'm able to adopt, then that's fine by me but being pregnant sounds terrifying and I don't want to go through that pain.
I would LOVE to have kids someday preferably 2 maybe 4. I've always wanted a big family and can't wait to become a mommy someday ☺️😊
I have four kids. The first was unplanned. I didn't expect to have any because my then-wife didn't want them and our relationship wasn't where I would have wanted it to be to have kids together.
No. My genetics are horrendous and f*cked up and it'd be a crime against humanity for me to ever reproduce. Not that I'll ever have a partner, anyway.
I have 3 kids. I did not NOT want kids. I really did not want them two weeks after we got married. Now that they are all grown up I am glad I had them.
I did want kids but I am afraid. Afraid of the world I am bringing them into and even more so if I will be resilient enough to be a good father throughout their lives, when it matters most. I guess this is why it’s important to find a good wife 😭
Yeah I want kids. My older brother does and I like being an uncle. When I get married this yr. we will probably start having kids soon after
I would like one. too many people see the mom ìn me. its probably something I'd feel good about. but until then, I'm still growing up myself.
Nope, never wanted them and never will thankfully. Nothing appealing about it.
Having a child/becoming pregnant is probably my biggest fear, so no, I don't want children lol.
