because of all of the bad things that go on in this world?
I've always wanted children, but lately I've been thinking that it might almost be a bad idea, because of all of the bad things in this world....have you ever had these thoughts?

I know i have heard some people say that. Like the other day my friend said i will never bring another kid into this cruel world but i am a mother and i feel like having a child is the most wonderful thing in the world that you can do.
It is not the world it is all of the people in it that are making the world a bad place to live in.
Nothing will hold me back from having another kid if and when i do.

Having children is the greatest expression of hope. My husband and I waited 14 years to have children, thinking we would never choose to go that direction because of all the bad things in this world.
We welcomed our first son this year, and it has been nothing but joyful. Although bringing a baby into this world is a tough decision, remember that human life has always been difficult, and there has always been the risk of death.
In 5 years, I will be 40 with a child. I could have not had one, but then, in 5 years, I would be 40 without a child (and my possibilities would be dwindling). Remember, you only go around once in this life, and the worst thing in life is regret. Give family a stab!

In the back of my head I'm scared for my children, everytime I see an ambulence I start to cry because I imagine what if that was coming to help me because there was something wrong with my son or daughter. I was molested growing up so I am afraid that if I let my daughter near a family member that she'll get hurt. Growing up I had asthma, back problems, dental surgery, abdomen surgery, concussions, stitches, etc..I'm so afraid that'll happen to my children. My son is two and we were at a party at my husband's father's house and my son's leg fell through a space and a nail stabbed him in the leg. When they tried to get him out the nail was still in and it tore more skin. I remember we were staying at a hotel and my son tripped and fell into the side of a cabinet and now his eyebrow is scarred, just like mines. If I keep on thinking about this, I'll never get any sleep. I have to take the good with the bad, I will have to watch over my children strongly so nothing will happen. Gosh thinking about it hurts so bad. I'm so afraid he'll drown, be kidnapped, choke, etc...but I'll try to get on with life.

I never want children EVER, but if the only reason you choose not to have a child is because of all of the bad things in the world then that is ridiculous. You can never control what goes on in the world around you, but you can guide your child and teach them and hopefully he or she will make the right choices and live a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life.

But its still what you make of it for the little ones lately you have to warn them at an early age of things that could go wrong, if you feel its in you to have children surely its in you to protect them as much as you can and do what you can as a beautiful mum. My hubby and I thought we didn't want kids just because we didn't want them but since having one a tear comes to your eye 'cos you think of what you would have missed out on, and its the best thing that you feel like you've done.

Honestly? Never. There will always be bad things in the world.
Until Jesus comes again.

I have thought of this, and I have also thought of the wrong people are breeding. We need more decent people in this corrupt world. Too many are indecent and over powering.
I have also thought that we need a place to live and raise our kids without evil corruption. Hard to do with our school systems being corrupt, public and private.

I never wanted to have kids period but w all that is going on it seems kinder to the children to not have them! Especially w whats happening in the environment and what they expect things to be like in 40-50 years.

Yes. And I decided not to have children (but mostly because of personal feelings, and because I have never wanted them)
