I am never having kids. I know some people say that those who are against children may change their minds when they have their own, but I am honestly too unstable to care for someone other than myself & babies/toddlers make me extremely uncomfortable. I?m an only child, so my parents are pressuring me to have them but I refuse to adopt kids. It?s just not something I?m interested in.

Do you have or want to have kids?

Nope, not really interested in having kids right now. I still have some growing to do myself, so I?m the furthest away possible from being able to raise a kid. That may change in the future though!
I'm kinda somewhere in between these two comments to be honest. I definitely have no interest in having kids in the near future as I've got a lot of growing to do myself, form a proper career and become financially stable. Not to mention find a partner which ain't happening anytime soon xD Part of me is like it may change in the future, but then the other part of me is like I want to be single and live my best life by myself lol. My assistant manager (who is older than me) lives by herself without a partner or kids and just enjoys the hell out of herself by herself, and somehow I envision that to be me in the future too.

One. I wanted to adopt a kid around 6 years old instead, as I was not fond of babies and toddlers. It turns out they're actually really loveable and I have to fight the urge to want another for the rest of my life. Not trying to add to the earth's over-population.

Labor is absolutely nothing compared to the 9 months of sickness and pain I faced. A lot of people feel really good when they're pregnant, though. I had undiagnosed EDS so my hormones were practically causing me to fall apart.

I might adopt but I really don't want to have my own at this point. The thought of being pregnant scares me, some people are nauseous a lot and stuff and I have emetophobia so idk how I would handle that (that probably sounds silly in comparison to the reward of having a baby but this is what I worry about in the middle of the night lol). Not to mention I feel like I couldn't handle the pain of labour. Also not to mention that I'm uh, certainly not interested in conceiving

I would like to have kids in the future!

My boyfriend wants to have kids someday but I’m really unsure. I feel like I’m aware enough of my own selfishness to know I’d make a terrible father. I’d only want to have kids if I knew I was gonna be able to be a good parent, and I just don’t think I ever could be.
At the moment, I don't plan on having kids. In the future, though, I may consider adopting or fostering (older) kids if I feel in the correct place in my life to do so. I intend to travel alot so I don't want / need the burden of a young child - I can barely keep myself organised some of the time!
I'm in between "interested" and "not sure". While I love the idea, I'm not sure how much I could handle. I've worked with kids for years, and while I love kids I'm not sure of one of my own. Mostly because of my anxiety issues. There's so much I need to work on myself before I can even consider if I do. I want as much security as possible, as well- mostly financially. My mum was single with 2 kids, living on a prayer to keep the lights on. I don't want my children going through what we did. I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking it.
But who knows, I'm always open to it if/when things get better!

It's kind of a predicament because I'm open to the idea of having kids and would probably like to have one someday, but I have no desire to be in a romantic relationship. That seems like way too much of a hassle for me.
It's gonna be a long while before I end up having my own children. Until then, I need to build up my patience and parenting skills. It's better than just being alone.

Good grief.
Yeah, I'd like to have about three. Whether I do or not remains to be seen.
No I don't want kids of my own and I never have (people have always loved telling me how I "can't know that yet" b/c I'm too young or whatever but now that I'm getting old as hell theyre losing legs to stand on >:} )

Since a relatively young age, I have always desired to be a loving husband to my future wife (who I truly believe is my girlfriend of 3 years who is the love of my life) and to be a loving father (& I recently have become a "uncle" of my girlfriend's nephew and it has been quite enlightening on how I truly am around children)! My girlfriend and I have been talking about our future for a long while now and we hope to have 4 if God wills it, but if we are unable to have children of our own, we plan to adopt children so that way we can still be parents while also making a positive impact in the world by raising these children in a loving home! I truly believe children are a gift from God and I think investing in the next generation is one of the most important things someone can do (whether it is being a parent or being involved in something that invests in the next generation in a positive light) since the next generation can change the world for better or for worse (which is why good parenting is very important and such a responsibility).

I'm not interested in having kids, for a variety of reasons. I used to think I wanted kids when I was younger, but becoming a teacher totally changed my mind. I can't imagine working with (challenging) kids all day and then coming home to raise my own. At the end of a work day, I just want a mental break. Other things stopping me include the fact that I'm single and the fact that I'm not financially independent.

Kick ass.
Currently, I don't plan to.
I do want kids at some point when I'm out of college. I have some medical issues that could make it hard for me to get pregnant, but there's always adoption and foster care if that's the case.
