Do you plan to have children or be childfree?

[Geoni]

Children scare me and I don't like responsibility.

 

[Mephisto Pheles]

Oh no!! I hope I didn't come across like that! Sorry, nevermind me haha!

Nah, you didn't haha. That was aimed at both people who feel it's their purpose to have their own children and people who feel it's their purpose to adopt. (It's sad because I've actually seen people shame others for choosing to have their own children instead of adopting :/ )

 

[Piroshi]

I'm not interested in kids, but if I ever were I think I'd adopt. I just don't like the idea of being pregnant. Even thinking about it or seeing pictures makes me incredibly uncomfortable, like I want to rip out my stomach because the thought of having something living inside of me is awful. Unless I were with another woman and she wanted to have the kid, I'd rather adopt if I do decide to have one.

 

[Naiad]

I want kids. (Maybe 2 or 3?)
I've always wanted them for some reason. xC I guess I just want to be able to raise my children better than how my parents raised me. I know it sounds bad, but I want to have kids so I can show my parents that threatening to lock children outside (And many, many other things they did to me.) isn't an okay way to raise them.

 

[chronic]

nah

 

[krielle]

Someday in the future.
I'd like no more than two though.

Birth labor kind of scares me at the same time.

 

[Liquid Ocelot]

Yeah, i'm not even sure myself. Like, I just feel as though that's my purpose, to keep my cells and genes alive through reproduction. It's hard to explain, because as I'm human I can fully comprehend and analyse what I'm doing and make choices, whereas other organisms are driven by instinct (innate biological purpose).

I feel as though I'm looking waayyy too deeply into this haha

I just-

I guess that instinct decided to crap out on me- making more people just isn't a driving force. I mean, I'm at a point in my life where having a kid would be insane because I'm in college, so things might change.

Honestly, right now- I'm dedicated to not adding to the population. And I don't think other people should do so lightly- which they do, which is frustrating. Plus, I'm not really the biggest- humanitarian. Things happen. Idk.

So I read a bit more of the thread, and I think you all would enjoy watching Idiocracy. I watched it awhile back, and it touches a bit on the topics here (By the way, it's for a Mature audience only. Don't watch it is you're 13, k?)

 

[Hana-Nezumi]

At the moment I can't see myself ever choosing to raise a child. I know myself well enough to be aware that I have neither the emotional nor physical strength to take on that responsibility... I hope my boyfriend never decides he wants to adopt.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

In future at least one, when I've got a good wife, steady income and everything is right.

 

[Capella]

kidz r cool so yeah

 

[PurplPanda]

I've always loved kids, and I want to have two. I babysit on a regular basis, and I help run the majority of children's programs in my community. I want two kids, and I already have names picked out. c:

 

[Zeiro]

I don't want kids.

 

[ForestRabbit]

If I were to make a good income and have a good flexible schedule, I'd love to have children. Since, I'm still not making enough income for myself, I don't mind not having any for awhile. I'm still young.

 

[Leopardfire]

I don't want kids. I'm not good around little kids, plus I'm messy and just not fit to raise a child. I'm a bit young to make a choice like this though.

 

[Snoop]

Nty

 

[Cazqui]

Depends on her honestly.
