Answer 1

Answer 2

I don't want children. I've been told ever since I was a young teen that I'd change my mind eventually ("All women want to have babies." Untrue!) but I never have, and since I'm now 34 years old, I don't think I'm likely to. I have nothing against children -- I love my nephews dearly -- but I know that I would not be a good parent, and it is better not to have children than to have them and not be able to care for them properly. Also, I have some genetic problems that I would almost certainly pass on to any children I had (things that run strongly in the family for at least three generations), and I refuse to do that because it would be morally wrong to inflict those problems on another person.

Answer 3

No, because I don't like the way I see most people raising their children these days. I think a lot of parents are overly permissive and don't know the meaning of "discipline". They get whatever they want, whenever they want it, and there are few consequences for misbehavior. I also find that although small babies are cute, and school-age children can be interesting, I don't care for toddlers or young teenagers. Tantrums and boundless energy would drive me to the brink of exhaustion and insanity; young teenagers remind me too much of the snobs I went to junior high school with who did everything under their powers to exclude me because I was different. That's not to say some of them aren't decent kids (I've worked with this group, and some of them are nice kids), but a lot of them are self-centered or else so worried about things like "who slept with who" or "let's go get drunk or wasted". Yecch!! Just plain NOT INTERESTED in any of that stuff. I'd take my spoiled cats any day.

Answer 4

I have a 3 year old son. My husband and I both waited till we were in our 30's to settle down and do the family thing. I'm so glad that I did because I know I was not ready in my teens to have the responsibility of raising a child. In my 20's I went to college and did my thing I was very selfish I knew kids did not fit into my life then. The older that I got I knew I wanted kids I was missing something in my life... MY SON!!!!! Now I would like to have a little girl;but we are trying to buy a house and be more financially secure before we do that.

Answer 5

Yes I defiantly want kids someday, I’d like between 3 and 6, but I also want to adopt some too. So like maybe 2 N 3 A , 3A 3N 2A 2N. I guess it will all really depend on my future husband too. But I defiantly see myself having at least 3. I'd also prefer i was married for at least 2 or 3 years before starting to have Children.

Answer 6

I have one daughter(she is two) I would feel so blessed to be able to have another,but if not I plan on adopting in a few years(if things work out according to plan).I would have gone to the doctors sooner than I did(I was6mos. when I found out).I thought I couldn't have children and worried about the flutters in my abdomen.I would have stopped smoking if I had found out sooner,but that's about all I would have done differently.I love her soooo much,it is astonishing how much love my heart holds for her.I heard about it so many times before I was a mother,but nothing can describe it until you experience it yourself.Isn't it GREAT??!!!

Answer 7

I am 20 and I just had my son back in July. I am glad I had my son. But my pregnancy wasn't unplanned, we indeed planned to have a baby. We both are very happy with our choice. So no I would never go back and change anything! Everything I've done in my past has got me where I am today! I did make a lot of bad choices but in the end it all works out! "When you think everything is bad their is always another door to open!"

Answer 8

I have decided that at my age, almost 39, and having no man in my life, that I do not want children. I am 99% sure. I do not want to raise children alone as it is a lot of hard work. One of my sisters is a single mother. I give all the single parents credit. I have more time to spend with my nieces and nephew and am looking into volunteering at a children's hospital. I see my other sister who is married and she has a lot of stress in her life and she has 3 children. I know even if you are alone or have a partner, it is still hard and very worth it to my sisters. They wouldn't trade their children for anything either.

Answer 9

No way.

I wouldn't do right by them, and I know it. I'm far too selfish and moody. I wish more people out there would do the right thing. So many people have kids, that shouldnt.

I do the right thing (for me) by not having kids. That way I can focus on having fun with my BF, spend all my $$ on shopping, house repairs, luxury and travel. If I feel the need to care for something, I'll get a lap dog.

I often ponder how I would be as a parent. I just don't think it would work out. I'd be like mommy dearest. o_o; Kids irritate me.

I'm just trying to be smart about it. ^_^

Answer 10

I want children really bad, I am so excited when that day finally comes. I dont get why people always say that they wish they would have waited until they were more finacially ready, from what I hear you never are. I am as ready as I can be.

Answer 11

I'm 27, been married almost 8 years and still have no kids. I think we are blessed to not have had any up to this point. I do want one child eventually, but I think I will wait til mid-to-late 30's.
