Children. yes or no?

[Sirfetch’d]

This thread always seems to bring forth some good discussion so why not bring it back! Do you want kids in the future? Why or why not? If so, what genders would you like? How many kids? And do you have any names planned?

O: You took my topic! I was actually thinking about making a similar thread, but you beat me to it XD Even though I'm only 20 years young, I would definitely want kids of my own in the future mainly because I think children love me and they bring joy~ Your life would definitely change, but you have something worth living for afterwards. I've always been fond of having twins, one male and one female; maximum I could handle would be 3 kids, no more. As for names, I really like the name 'Kelvin' for a boy (I know several of them and they're all Asians...so maybe it's an Asian thing) and because I wasn't able to be named 'Raine,' I would like the girl to have it (:

I don't think either myself or future spouse will be a stay-at-home parent, so I'd say, in order to really provide a good upbringing, no more than two children. I would love to adopt. The best ages would be around 5-10 since, the babies and toddlers are always adopted (almost always), I'd really like to make more of a difference and adopt a child that is not too old, so I can experience their childhood a truly feel like their father, yet, old enough that I know my sacrifice is a more meaningful one.

Genders, hmmm. I can't say I know. I would prefer to see what my future spouse thinks as well as determine from more significant factors if the child is a good fit with us. Though, superficially, I just imagine an boy and girl.

Names!?! First and foremost, the WORST thing a parent can do is name a child something, too creative. Yes, a boring or conventional name, is better for the child's interests. For instance, employers looks at applications, and already make pre-judgements about the applicant by their name. For instance Blue Rose Moonlight [insert my last name] would raise some red flags for sure! XD

Also, if and when I adopt, I don't think a name change will go over well :/

Well, if I were able to choose names, I would be that parent to make coordinated names.
Hmm. I like the sound of August and Octavia/Forrest and Savannah.

I don't think about kids often. Probably because I feel a lot younger than I am, and I still wanna live my life, so no kids for me any time soon. It's a bit of a challenge anyway, because even if I met someone, two women can't have a baby together. Sooo I'd probably go with adoption, which would also depend on what my partner wanted to do in regards to that. It's just something that's a long ways away. I think that in time, raising kids would be a positive influence for me, regardless of their gender, but for now, it's not an interest of mine.

As far as names go, I have a list of male names that I really like, and same with some female names, but I think I'd have to see the baby first before I throw out any that I'd settle on.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.

There comes a time in every man's life when he must choose between furthering his DNA and having nice things. I choose to have nice things, I urge you to do the same. Because no matter how hard your biological clock is making you think you want children, you probably don't.

 

[Shhmew]

I've always wanted to be a mother, it's sort of a life goal of mine I guess. My boyfriend and I agreed to wait at LEAST until we've graduated from college and have stable incomes and live in a nice area. >.< He doesn't even want kids until we're like 30. At LEAST.

I'd want no more than two because well children are extremely high maintenance and I want to be able to take care of them to the best of my ability. Having only one might make him or her spoiled; idfk. I think two is a nice number, for me and my boyfriend at least. Regardless we're still young and if we do have kids it won't be for a while.

Gender/sex doesn't really matter to me, but I've always thought it sounded right to have a boy first and then a girl. Having one of each sounds nice, but I'd want at least one girl. It doesn't really matter to me though, any gender or sex and I'd love them all the same <3

When I was younger I thought of the name "Reverie" for a girl and I always thought it was a cute and unique name. I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it though.

 

[Pendraflare]

Absolutely not. I don't want to have to put up with the constant screaming and arguing that they're going to provide. It would just make life even more hectic than it already is.

But at the same time, I can understand why people might like to.

 

[Fernbutter]

I don't think I could do well with kids, but I would be a great parent anyway, as much as I on't think I have what it takes, also just a side-note I am probably never going to get married, I mean I even swore on that, and there are no exceptions sooo,

but adopting is still possible so maybe it can all work out, but either way, I don't think it would change too much, no matter what I would go through if I ever became a parent then okay, I can handle it. I've been through way worse in my life and I don't think just one kid could really ruin all that.

 

[Blastin'Tyruntz]

I'm only 16, but i do want kids in the future, because kids are the future, and also kids love me! I would be a great dad damn it!

I thought about moving in the future to USA or England, so i planned ahead some foreign names like Joey, Ashley..etc.

20 years young? Pfft, you're practically ancient 8D

but yeah, I would love to eventually have children of my own! Gender isn't really an issue for me, and I'm kinda partial towards large families, as mine is pretty big. Having biological children would be an amazing experience and all, but I think I'd like to adopt one day :]

I've only really thought of one name for a boy and girl, Vincent and Maëlys. Not too sure on those, haha

 

[Puddle]

Of course I want children! I mean our purpose in life is to make the next generation. I plan on having 3 children, however depending on how financially stable I am, it could be more or less. I want my children to live a comfortable life where we don't have to struggle to put food on the table, so I'm not looking to rush the process at all.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I already have an daughter called Hanna and don't want anymore.

 

[Sammi]

Kids are nice, but the older I get, the less I want them. I'm content with just having nieces and nephews. :)
It's also easy for me to say considering I've never been in a relationship before and honestly I am content on staying that way for awhile longer. But even if I did meet someone, I'd rather not have kids. I don't know if I could handle the full-time responsibility, tbh.

Also, I agree with Andy: if I don't have kids I can have nice things instead. 8)

 

[Hatsune Mika]

I can deal with children as in raising them but I don't really like the infant stage x.x their crying frustrates me.
I don't know why but just happens.

I can't really have children of my own due to my thin bloocells. Anoun the names though, Josh and Mia l. :3

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

Not planning on getting children. I want to try to get a temporary sterilization if I can since definitely right now I couldn't have them, but I really don't know, you know. It just seems like it's not for me.

I wouldn't mind some offspring in the future. Be nice if I were in a position to have them and be able to like, support them and such in 5 years. Dat economic environment.

I guess I've always wanted to bring someone up and to raise a kid well kinda because I felt I've been raised not so well and it feels like a way to put that right!

Couldn't care less about gender. Wouldn't really want more than 2-3 cause I'd like to give them a fair bit of my time rather than dividing my time up very finely! I'd love to give the name Elijah to a kid if they were male. Females? No clue. Plus I doubt I'd be the one getting the say about the name!

 

[εcho.]

Kids are a big yes for me! Definitely want them in the future, although that's still at least 5-6 years down the line. I love kids, (plan to be a teacher in the future) and hubby and I have always talked about wanting a big family.

3 I think would be the ideal number for me, but I might consider 4, though at that point you start to have to consider the financial standpoint of having more kids.

Definitely want a little girl, but I don't really care about gender for the most part.

Names, both hubs and I really like Josephine and Violet. We haven't really decided on any boys names that we like, though I'm a fan of Zachariah.

 

[Sopheria]

I'm very undecided on this matter. On the one hand, I really like kids and I think they would bring a lot of happiness to my life. But that's just focusing on the good side of having children. The downside is, your life is officially no longer your own. You'll essentially be living for your children rather than for yourself, and I'm not ready for that. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future, in fact I probably will, but at the moment children are the last thing I want.

Also, if I do have children I don't want to have them unless I'm married, and I'm really not sure if I ever want to get married.

 

[Raine]

I know...I'm feeling the back pains and everything sometimes OTL To add onto my previous post, I'd prefer having boys over girls because I don't want to deal with their troubles to be quite honest >>;; That probably sounds terrible, but at least I'd have someone to pass down my technologies to in the future XD

 

[Omicron]

I would really like to have kids. I would probably adopt, though. It wouldn't be fair to gamble with their health considering CVID is a genetic disease and can be transmitted by the parents.

I would probably have 2 children. I don't know about the genders nor the names. It would be something I'd have to decide with my wife.
