Yeah I'd like to have children sometime in my life. I can see perks to having either a boy or a girl, so I can't really decide. I guess that's a good thing because it's not like I can control it haha. I'd be happy with a girl or a boy.

Me and my other half plan on trying for a baby when we move into a house (currently in a rented flat, will be moving within the next year or so).

Neither of us have a preference on gender, my other half said we have to have at least two kids (so they dont turn out to be the spoilt only child like I am lol) and I want to have them close together so there arent big age gaps.
No I don't really like children at all and I really doubt I would even like my own children. Besides that there's so much that comes with having a child that I don't think I could handle. Plus I worry that if I had a child he or she may end up with a few personality traits of mine that I wouldn't want anyone to have and I can see myself feeling extremely guilty because of that.

AND BESIDES ALL OF THAT... I would just be a terrible parent, yayaya!

Yeah, I've always thought about it. I can't really think of any specifics, but a girl first would be nice.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

I'm worried that my temper would be far too short to be a parent and I'd likely end up doing something I'd regret. Other than that, if I did want kids, that would most certainly be years down the road from now... I'm definiteyly not ready yet.

And I'd prefer a girl. Who's a super genius.

I'm seriously considering not having them, but I probably will. The thing is, I hate kids and their annoyance and naivety and won't leave you alone and curious and urghh. Like Elite said, I too am short tempered so that ain't good.

If I do, I'd want a mixture, boy first though, I was a first and I'm a guy so let's keep the ball rolling! And as I don't have a brother, don't want one either, it would be cool to have a son first, in like over 10 years. Then girls. I think I only want one son, like I'm just one with two girls. Never experience brotherhood so much and don't know what to really expect. I'd want a boy then a girl and maybe one other whichever gender. No more. Seriously. Maybe even only two.

I think boys are easier to raise, less clothes, but I might find it easier to raise girls. My family contains a lot of females.

Oh boy and girl twins would be cool, but that's like double hassle at once. And if I had a kid prior or after, they may feel left out. Like my sister and I to my other sister, even though we aren't twins, the age difference excludes the little gal.

I've no real intention of having children. The thought of kids doesn't fill be with any other emotion apart from great despondence, and I don't really like kids as they are now. Of course, this could all change in the future, but for now I'm firmly in the 'no kids' camp.

You know, you could always raise your kids to be different than how kids are now a days. >__>

I really do want to have a couple kids when I find somebody for me. I don't care about gender or anything, so long as they are happy and healthy. ^__^

No way. I won't have any freedom to do anything with children around. I don't want to throw my life into the sewer.

My little cousin who constantly wants to play with me doesn't help my opinion of children, either.

At the moment, I have absolutely no intentions or thoughts of having children thanks to living with the worst children I can imagine. If I have children like them, I can safely say that I'd likely end up murdering them. My mindset may change in the future, so I am not completely against the idea of it. But I'd rather have my own than adopt. That's not to say that I wouldn't care for them just as much, however.

Yes and no. I sometimes see kids with their parents acting all cute and playing which makes me think, "awww, I want one too!" But when I see a screaming/crying kid... I just want to throw something at them. They're very annoying without a doubt, so I don't exactly know right now. But at the moment, I'm much more leaning towards no.

If I were to have kids though, I'd want boy and girl twins. Yeah, everyone wants twins nowadays.

You know, I've always wondered what it would be like to be in my own father's position. So yeah, I could deal with one kid. ONE, no more. And a boy would be best, cuz then I'd teach him baseball, football, etc. But more than one would be exceedingly awful, and I know that for a FACT. I'm the oldest of five, and I am kinda like a third parent in the house. Which I HATE. A lot.

I'm not 100% completely against the idea but as of right now I can't see myself being a parent in the future. Even as a kid I never really had any sort of desire to want to be a mom or anything like that. I always played daycare as a kid and never house, because you got to send the kids back to their actual parents in daycare, haha.

Eh, I dunno, my feelings about this topic seem to change. While I'm not a fan of babies, I can tolerate older children and sometimes when i'm babysitting I think "well hey, I guess I can do this". I've only ever babysat super hyped up, obnxious boys from the ages of 7 to 12 (and then my brother, but he lives with me so I don't think it counts) so I'm used to boys and I think raising them would be fun. I wouldn't mind a girl either though, since i'm pretty girly myself :)

I am not a kids' person at all. I don't like being around them, and seeing others literally dumb themselves down to communicate with them is just horrid. I never wanted to be a parent, either. I just don't see a purpose for me to have kids. And like someone else (who's name I can't remember) said, kids just suck the life outta you. I won't be able to fulfill my dreams when my main concern would be taking care of a kid. Heck, I don't even like touching or holding a baby. I really don't think kids are my thing. =/

Maybe it's cause I'm a kids person and get along well with younger kids... or maybe it's the fact I'm siblingless and although prefer older siblings, younger ones would be nice too.
But yeah I would like to have kids when I get married. Preferably twin boys and a girl or a twin boy and twin girl - I just love twins! Especially if they're identical!
