Why do people have children?

Question

I hate children! Why would anyone ever want to have one?

Answer 1

I love children and I think, Why would anyone NOT want one? Everyone is different. I'm pregnant now and although I'm only a few weeks, I can't wait to have my baby. He/she is already so special and loved by me and my husband because we created him/her. A baby is the most beautiful gift in the world.

Answer 2

Some time love starts with hate. You should say that you hate something only after having the same. Without having the same and without having the experience of the same how you come to the conclusion that you hate children.

You may be afraid about how to grow them and mixup them with your existing activities and relationships.

In this world you will get back what you give. If you give love to all you will get back the same and if you hate all you will be hated. Be strong to accept the situation. Don't think much. Ask to your self that if you really hate children or not. I am sure you won't. Go ahead and get the beautiful gift of the god to human being.

Answer 3

People have children because without children there will no longer be any people.

Some people like children and other's don't. Personally, I came from a fairly large family, 5 kids, and I love children. Just before I went into High School my parents had another child, and since both were working we had to help with the kids. My two sisters didn't like doing that so they don't want children. I did just as much as they did and I want children. I am comfortable around them, I know how to feed them, bathe them, and change the diapers (yes I even had my youngest brother pee on me, while I was trying to change his diaper). Because of this experience I don't fear taking care of a child, and I know a little of the joy of raising a child. I have known several men who were afraid to handle their children until they were out of their diapers.

It takes all kinds of people to build a world. Genetically the only reason we exist is to make more children, and pass on our genes. So on the instinctive level all people want to have children. But, we are more than just animals, and you are concentrating on the bad things about having to raise children. I am not degrading you for that, I just wonder what experience in your life gave you that attitude and opinion?

The choice is up to you, and it is one that a lot of people make. Of my three sisters non of them wanted children. Of course if everyone had your attitude then our population would only shrink. In countries like the Netherlands that has become a problem so the government improves the tax breaks given to people with children. We haven't reached that point in the US because we have so much immigration, but all that immigration is going to change our population and it has already turned whites into a minority part of the population.

Answer 4

My best friend from grade school didn't want children, didn't want to be married and never was/did.
My son is now 30 years old. I can't imagine my life without him, from birth through adolescence an now.
Having a child challenged every part of my self: my integrity, my emotional maturity, my ability to stretch further than I could have imagined.
Whereas my son is now an adult and my life is once more my own, it is a richer life with more experiences in it than I could have had on my own.
I love children - animals, too.
Not everyone does, though. It is YOUR life, so do what pleases you most. If children are not for you, just don't have any.

Answer 5

I had children because I love kids and I knew my husband and I would be a good parents. My kids are the best thing we could of ever made together and loving my husband is the best thing I could of ever done alone. People may have a million different reasons for wanting children, but I think the main one is and should be LOVE.Not because they need someone to love them but because they want to love someone else. Because trust me kids do not always love you, but like I tell my boys "that's ok cause I have enough love for the both of us"

Answer 6

Because not everyone is going to be just like you, and have the same opinions as you. You may hate children, but I love children. And I definitely want kids when I'm ready to have them.

Answer 7

You might want to ask yourself why you hate children! I have a 3 year old daughter and I could not imagine life without her. Its true you don't know what your missing until its gone but its also true that you didn't know what was missing until it arrives. I believe that later in life you will change you mind about children. It's different when they are your own. That first moment that you feel them move in your womb is the most incredible feeling in the world. And when they are born and you look into their tiny faces...it makes your heart melt. My daughter makes everyday worth living. Children are very special gift's from God which most people don't respect. So just remember that!

Answer 8

Some people love children, others don't. There is no rule that you HAVE to have children, so if you don't want any then don't have any.

Answer 9

How you think you got here, some people don't mind having children, we do it to make a family exactly what it is A FAMILY. I use to say that when I was 18 and younger but I grew up. How old might you be????

Answer 10

keep in mind that these children you hate so much will be wiping the drool from youre chin one day in a retirement home and i hope you are resorted to that because you seem rude actually no i wish you the best with youre dull life kids are fun and joyous and you seem to need something to keep you busy with a question like this one i love my son and all i can think about is the baby in my womb and what a wonderful childhood i am going to give it i love kids i babysit and volunteer for at least 7 hours a week at my sons elementary school life without kids would be so dull i just hope that you will be a bit more mature and realize that there are some things better left unsaid!!
