I want at least two daughters. I've always liked the idea of having daughters to take care of, mostly because I've spent nearly twenty years taking care of my brother, and I think it'd be a nice change of pace to take care of a girl. I don't like babies or obnoxious brats, but babies don't remain babies for very long, and obnoxious brats are usually only obnoxious brats because their parents haven't raised them properly, and I can say with absolute confidence any child that I raised would have better manners.
I'd probably adopt a child though, because actually having kids myself with a partner...yeah. Let's not go into that. Actually being qualified to adopt a child would also prove to me that I was in a position to have kids, and I would never want to have kids if I wasn't absolutely certain I could provide for them in the way they deserve; bringing a child into this world unprepared is the worst kind of irresponsibility. Cheesy as it sounds, I'd like to make a difference in a child's life someday and be a foster parent. So, yeah. Sometime in the future I'd like to have a family, probably as a single foster parent, when I'm in a better psychological and financial position.
But having a partner? That I don't think I could deal with. I'm not sure why, because delegating the responsibility of having a family is surely easier than shouldering it all by yourself, but...well, it's an awkward thing I could type paragraphs about but won't. Suffice it to say that I find taking care of children to be easy and having a meaningful relationship, even just a friendship, difficult.
I can't see it happening, but then I'm a pessimist and a cynic, so I tend not to see my dreams as even remotely achievable. But who knows.
