Do you plan to have children or be childfree?

It's interesting that the poll seems to be split 50/50 right now.
Where I live, everywhere I look there seems to be kids having kids (no judgement intended here, just observation)
I don't want kids. At this stage in my life I'm working on completing my post secondary education and hopefully entering a great career field. I want to own nice things and do LOTS of traveling. Besides, my chihuahua is my baby.

Bloop.
Children terrify the crap out of me. D: I get along with children, but I can't picture myself as a mom. Maybe things will be different a few years from now, but at least for now, no kids.
I am the least person qualified to have a child and raise it, that is a big fat-
Then you don't know me. Considering my experience with noise that just won't stop, there's a good chance I'd end up killing the child.
I don't hate kids, it's just far too dangerous to leave me in charge of anything that makes sounds and can't be turned off (cats are an exception).
When I'm married and financially stable with a job, house and what not, then I will have children. Living in a generation where everyone is either having kids by accident, for state benefits or because they're bored I don't want to bring a child up when I'm still 20.
Only then will I have my birth control (implant or the rod) removed from my arm.
Glad to say I have 100% never been pregnant nor had a scare so I am happy
I am not overly fond of children right now, i think thats for the best. I like being an aunty, I can give her back after a few hours or so, I will enjoy my youth
*sit on tbt all of my youth.*

That's how I feel too, Kaiaa. I don't plan on having any kids myself. It doesn't mean I dislike them, it just means that I don't have an interest in doing so at this time.

ugh
Child free I have nothing against kids
but I wouldn't be able to care for one
speaking of Kids I will always laugh when people say things like
"oh kids aren't so bad lol, they're so easy to take care of" "you'l be able to take care of a child if it's your child don't worry so much"
but yet when you someone says they want say a cat they sometimes get replies like
"oh you sure you can handle it" "having a pet is a lot a responsibility" "are you still going to love it when it's no longer a baby"
sorry if that's really off topic I just wonder why some people say stuff like this
((also not everyone is like this of course but I had my fair share of people who told me these things))

My wife and I are far too child like to have kids of our own. We stay up late being irresponsible, we neglect to do chores around the house, forget to do our laundry, we spend all our money on ******** crap, food and video games. The kid would be raised in a dungeon, at 55 F temperatures, with small portions of gruel.
But I hear the government pays you quite a bit if you do have kids! Maybe I could get into the business of having kids, collect mucho pay checks AND make them do all my chores.

Not for me personally, I have a niece and nephew and that is perfect for me <:
I have never been able to control my anxiety around babysitting so that was what did it for me xD I also have other reasons, but overall I find children very cute<3

I would love to have at least a child one day, I feel like it's my duty as a woman to have a child. I feel like if I never have one I will truly miss out on something so special in life lol
For women, I really don't think disliking kids has ANYTHING to do with having a child of your own. The love that you feel once you have your child in your arms is nothing like seeing or being annoyed/awkward by children or being near your nieces/nephews or not being able to take care of yourself. Hormones kick in and you feel this motherhood for your child that is indescribable.
I remember my friend told me she never thought it was possible to love a human being so much as she loves her baby girl. The baby revolves around her life because she loves her and wants to always be near her, I think all the selfishness you feel fades away once you hold your child.

i would definitely never bear my own children, i may adopt, but for personal reasons i would rather not have children at all.
saying that, i think parenthood, childhood and families are wonderful, but definitely not ever for me.
edit: i'll just clarify that the personal reasons i mentioned are not that i dislike children or whatever, it's a lot more than that

My sister's a lesbian and doesn't seem to keen on adopting or having her own kid, so I'm almost kind of obliged to, being the only other child to harbor grandchildren. I wouldn't mind having a kid, but at this point in my life I don't want one. I want to be at least in my late twenties and financially secure before I even think about it. I want my child(ren) to be raised under the best circumstances I can give them, I don't want to have kids as some sort of novelty like one day I see someone else's kid and go "Oh wow you're so adorable that's it it's official I'm having a kid oh wow I'm going to have so many of you wowowow".
Well, I don't mind being childfree or having children. If I do have children, I'd rather have just 2 (so there is at least another sibling they can play with).
But I'm leaning towards childree because I have a nephew and he's already difficult to handle mostly because I have low tolerance and I'm quickly agitated.

I've minded triplets full time for a few years and No, No kids for me.
For those of you talking about genetics or whatever; A kid isn't a document of your life. A kid is their own person who has a lot of financial, and emotional needs you need to see to, and not just for 18 years. Pretty much until you die. If you want your genetics recorded, donate your body to science when you pop your clogs.
