Would you have kids if you could redo it? i know parents that said they wouldn't if they could do it again.

Question

Explain your answer please.

Answer 1

Yes, I would. My kids do drive me nuts but I'd rather have them than not. I like having a house full of people. I like the noise. I like the laughter and the silly stories they come up with. I just think the house would be too quiet and a lot less interesting without kids around.

Answer 2

I can't imagine life without my crew of 4, so yes- I most certainly would do it all over again. My children give me the chance to see the world and experience the world through their eyes, and with my knowledge. They share their sense of wonder in every new discovery, and make me see it all in a new way. They remind me the world is a good place, in spite of all the bad things. They love me just because, and in spite of anything and everything. They make me did deep into myself to find the best of myself, to be the person they think I am- and the person I should be. They have never put a penny in my pocket, and in truth have taken quite a bit more out of it, and yet, I know they return more to me than I could ever possibly earn on my own merit. I haven't had a really private moment in years now, I checked my modesty at the hospital shortly before the first one was born, I find sticky suckers in the strangest places, and I always find the lost legos the hard way. But I also get some of the best sticky kisses and hugs, and no matter what the rest of the world may be thinking of me- I am their hero. I know I'm not Superwoman, and I'm not Miss America, but to them I am. And that's more than enough for me. Would I do it again? You bet I would!

Answer 3

In a heart beat
I love my children and because of the them my life have
meaning (like setting a good example)
My story
in April 1991 my doc give me a month to live (cancer) I look at him and say no God will not take me away from my baby
my son was 2 (first child) I told the doc since God had taken away my mother when I was 3 with cancer he owns me big time
and that was to see my child turn 21 for this child to be independent
i did not cry I did not even told my husband about what the doc say that night , but that say after I left the doc office I walk strait to the bank and ask for a loan to purchase a home
so that night instead of talking to my Hus about what I was told I talk to him about the house I wanted to buy ASAP
because although I believe that I will live I still want my son to have a home
As you can see I am still alive and I have 2 more babies
each one had made me stronger as a person
after my divorce they give me strength to go on
Let's put it this way they have been my reason to live......
a few years back someone ask me if I ever met God I say yes
he was shock
I explain to him that I see God in the eyes of my children

Answer 4

I would, I love waking up in the morning and seeing my little guy smile at me it make my day, knowing that I was part of making that life come into the world. Watching him grow up is a reward to my life. If there was anything I would change it would be that I waited till I had went to college and finished and been on my way to my career with everything prepared for a baby though I don't think anyone is ever 100% prepared to have a kid. But having a kid give a new meaning to love at first site and love for life.

Answer 5

I have 4 kids and if I could redo it i would. Even though they keep me on my toes and we have bad days. Its the great days that make it worth wild. I had problems having all 4 of my children and i love them so much that i would do it again in a heart beat. Children are the best gift in the world. Even thou they are a gift from GOD its not like you can return them if they don't work out. Children are a gift that keeps on giving. I don't know what I would do without my children. They are what keeps me sane in a would that is so crazy.

Answer 6

If I could redo it I would have my kids a bit later in life, but never would I want to not have them at all...

I had my first child when I was 17 my second at 19 and my third at 27.. I was much more prepared to be a mother when I was older with the youngest.. I was able to be a stay at home mom for her something I was financially unable to do for the older two... I have been able to enjoy my youngests growing up far more hands on due to not working,

I would love to be able to redo... Have my first child at 23-24 instead of 17 but that's not how the cards fell... I have never regretted having any of my children, but my timing was a bit aff and I think I could have given them more and recieved more myself had I had them a bit later in life...

I asked my now 19 year old daughter if she felt slighted due to my being able to spend alot more time with the youngest growing up... She said "No you were there for me as much as possible but you had to work when i was little, you have been able to spend more time with Mimi but that's because you didn't have to work.." I had been worried that my older two would feel slighted because they didn't get the stay at home mom but they understand I would have stayed at home with them if I could have...

I have 3 very great kids and if anything I am amazed daily by thier ability to love, care and accept others exactly how they are... Sometimes I am amazed that I have had a hand in raising 3 children who are so grounded in reality and so determined to climb for the possible.. I am not saying my kids are perfect they have thier moments of sheer stupidity that make me want to pull my hair out, but by and large I am astounded at how well they have turned out dispite the multitude of mistakes I have made and continue to make along the way...

Nope no redo for me that wouldn't include having my children...

Answer 7

I had a my first daughter at the age of 19 then I found out that I couldn't have anymore children. Well as time went by and science got better I found out about invitro fertilization and now at the age of 41 I have twins which are two and 1/2. They cost me out of pocket $20,000 not including what the insurance paid. They were very expensive children. I would have them over and over again but you could not pay me to have any more children. I am so happy with my children. But no more the twins have worn me out.

Answer 8

I am almost 21 and have been married 2 years to my husband of 20. We love our little boy more than life; he's 4 months. I would do it all over again if given the chance- I can't imagine life without him. Children are a blessing from the Lord- I can't wait to have more!

Answer 9

Yes I would do it again!! I love my kids with all my heart. Of course at times they get on my nerves but hey, they are just kids. The only thing I would do differently would be NOT getting my tubes tied after my last child. I would give anything now to have another baby. I miss it. But oh well.

Answer 10

This seems like such a silly question to me - I don't think I have known anyone to ever say 'they would not have done it if they could do it over again'. It's usually the other way around - where you WOULD do it all over again! I believe that one of our main purposes to being here is to reproduce - that is what God wanted us to do. How boring and lonely it would be for now and especially later to have no children. Let's love them and be honored to have them in our lives - there is no greater gift.
