what's your real reason?

Actually I never wanted children but then I got pregnant and had my baby, it changed my life forever. Being a mom is so rewarding. The first smile, the first time they roll over everything. It's definitely hard to be a mom but it's worth it. It's a learning experience but a good one. It's scary because you are molding this little person to become an independent adult someday. My daughter passed away in July, she was 5 months old; SIDS. So I urge everyone to really think about having a baby before you dive into it. And everyone who does have children, cherish every moment you have with them. Even when you want to Andrea Yates them because I know being a mom can be frustrating. Would I do it again? In an instant! But right now I'm still healing myself and don't want to bring a baby into all of that. You can't be selfish when you're a parent. Good luck to all you parents and future parents.

From the time I was very young, I knew I wanted to have children one day. I grew up the youngest of five kids, and I loved having some many siblings around, and my parents were pretty wonderful. I knew that I would make a really good mother, and I feel I have.
I'm so in love with my husband, and I wanted to share a child with him, something that we created together. When we married almost nine years ago, we knew we would start our family right away. As a matter of fact, our son was born almost nine months to the day that we married. We had three little boys, and two years ago, we had our baby girl. We felt then our family was complete, and we are so happy.
To me, I just can't imagine my house not being filled with children laughing and playing! It's not always easy, my kids are 8,6,4 and 2, so I'm pretty busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You look at the world different when you become a parent. You don't worry so much about the petty stuff, when your playing with your little one, you often become childlike yourself, and you defiantly don't take yourself as serious as you once may have! I have become much more tolerant in my everyday life, and I don't beat myself up for not always getting everything done.
Kids are just so incredible. They're honest, trusting, loving and can really teach adults a thing or two! They can make you humble! But I found that no matter what, these little people have so much unconditional love, and I just feel so lucky and blessed that I get to experience it. I have never regretted or thought twice about my decision to have children. I think my husband and I are doing a really good job of raising them, and I think they'll turn out to be very well adjusted adults, and one day, wonderful parents to their own children.

I'm only 17 but I know I want children in about 10 years. I come from a big family, I love kids and I think I'd be a good mother. there are so many parents who dont treat their children with the love and attention they deserve and I think thats so scary. they're going to grow up feeling unloved and-cheesy as it may sound-what hope will there be for the future?! I want to teach my children to be respectful and considerate humans and I hope they can grow up as happy as I am :D

Personally, I like kids (don't really matter if they are mine or adopted)
For others, there are various underlying reasons (some good some bad), such as:
1) carry on the next generation : my parents
2) to save a marriage : someone i know
3) to applease parents: most of my peers
Having children is a life-long commitment, thus i believe one should have children only if they can support them...
Cheers..

Hi, Well the reason why I want to have children is because I love the person Im with and it would be so exiciting to have a child from me and the person you love. Children are our future as well....megan
P.S. Do you want children?

I'd like for my seed/genes to continue to live and go on. There's got to be someone who can pass on my heritage/family legacy. Not only that but maybe reproduce a child that could make a HUGE difference in this world. The thought of being able to unite with someone I love to create another beautiful life that we can love and nurture together.
