If you had a really interesting life and travelled a lot, would you have children?

Yes, I would still want children

No, I wouldn't want children

Depends on the partner I met

Depends on how much I'm enjoying life in that moment

If you had a really interesting life, you wouldn't travel a lot. People travel as a form of escapism. Their life sucks, so they spend their money to go some place else to pretend their life is something other than it really is... Asking someone if they like to travel is the ultimate litmus test on life fulfillment. If they say no, then they probably have a pretty interesting and fulfilling life filled with good friends, a solid family relationship, they love their job, they have a lot of cool hobbies and talents, etc. thus traveling is more so a burden for them because it takes away from the amazing life they already have. If they say yes, then you can tell they hate their life and they just want to leave it all behind and escape.

At your age , I would probably end up settling down from traveling , once I felt i had enough of it , and eventually meet someone that wanted a relationship with me , that wanted to get married and have kids before I hit my 30’s. But as for me , my life didn’t go that way , I ended up being a Dad at the age of 23 and got married and settled down , thinking my wife and I would travel, and spoil each other once the kids were on their own , but sadly things didn’t turn out that way either , because my wife and I aren’t together anymore. So at my age now , I am open to meeting a girl that wants to travel with me and spoil each other, now that my kids are older , Honestly I can’t see myself starting over with raising another child , so my baby making days. is on the bottom of my list lol I just want to live out the rest of my life , spoiling myself and whoever that might be by traveling and spending quality time together

I have very sensible reasons for not wanting kids. I’m a schizophrenic, with hallucinations when stressed out, I’ve been in a psych ward twice. I love kids, if I were healthy, I’d want a big family. But I doubt my capacity, without a very good, patient and supportive husband, to manage to provide a stable environment for any children. I also like having the freedom to go out and rest whenever I want and to buy whatever I want whenever I want.

I wouldn't have children if I couldn't provide a stable environment for them. If I traveled a lot it seems they would be in daycare a lot and I want to see my kids grow up knowing me not some stranger.

If you truly have a lifestyle where you are traveling a lot, perhaps as part of your job, then having children are not a good idea. They need the stable environment.
If you just don't want to give up living your own best life, posting cute pictures of yourself in far off places on your social media, maybe you need to look at what is in your own best long term interests, not just now. You have a lot of years to fill.
Since you talk of children but not a man and not a family, maybe you are better off single.

[adam6402]

Yes, but I'd give up my interesting life of travel first. I don't want to live a selfish life when I'm young and then grow up lonely regretting not having kids. And it's not fair bringing kids into a chaotic life where their parents aren't around to nurture and raise them right.

[SotiCoto]

At the core of things no conscious, thinking mind wants children.
That is a matter of the subconscious. A matter of pre-programmed urges driving all living behaviour. Those reproductive urges aren't a choice. They're simply something that the weak-minded confuse with their own choices. They're being manipulated by their body and lack the self-awareness to refuse.

[HawkPerception]

Actually I've always loved the idea of traveling with childen and having them experience the world everywhere, so yes. I think they would be a lot more mature about the world than people stuck in one country their whole lives.

[Caroline91]

I do travel and I have children. I think the hardest time to travel with a child is from whatever time they start walking until about
2 1/2. Since I have one that age rn I am not planning any major trips at the moment..

[midnightmoon05]

I travelled a lot before I was married and had kids. I still travel a lot with my kids.
there is no difference.
when they were younger, we travelled mostly within the states…now we do international travel…we can adapt

[FreyaRed]

Interesting life and traveling doesn't change anything. What counts is here and now. The bitter pill is having healthy children isn't a task you can do with 40 or 50

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

Yeah. I want to settle down and have some cute babies, someday. (Hopefully, not the bratty ones! 🤭🤣)

[LaurenM1997]

Having children isn’t on the agenda but having fur babies is on the agenda 😂

[Sevenpointfive]

i wanted them because i was brainwashed as a child that that's how life went. thankfully, i didn't knock up my young partners and now i'm single. nothing keeps me where i don't want to be

[SugarSugarplum]

There is nothing I want more in this life than to be loved, and have lots of babies. No vacation trip could ever top that.

[exitseven]

Since I was pretty undecided on having kids I guess if I was too busy having fun I probably would not consider having kids.

[Nikki1989]

If I wasn't so career motivated, I would.

[DrPepper12]

If I met the right person but it would be tough to give up contentment and traveling. Tbh that's the trade off I most regret irl. Travel vs kids.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'd go back to the places I travelled to - and find out :D

[sheikalana]

I travel all the time and still dream about having children.

[RingOfFire]

I would say if you have to ask that question you should not have children.

[Dongie]

4th one. And I can't imagine a life like that. 180⁰ of that I know. And had no kids.

[Brittanyroseee]

No. I hate the idea of being tied down to someone.

[serious]

The answer is No

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe eventually. Not right away though.

[Joshgag2000]

At some point you settle down

[paledreams]

No don't want 👿😈

[Anonymous]

Yes sure
