Do you want to have children?

I think getting married and raising a family is a destiny given to one to follow. Whether or not you follow a religion to guide your decisions in life. But that's just my opinion, and I'm aware others may have a different idea than me.

Raising a family is a hard life to undergo, no doubt about it. But it is certainly a rewardingly full of love bond to embrace for you, your children, and even others out in the world.

And I have seen others participate in the vocation and are proud of who they are and what they do (like Canadian Guy Eh if anyone here watches his channel.)


That said, I don't think it's a life for me personally. I don't think it's a desire in my DNA to want to accomplish no matter what, which I think is an important thing to feel whatever it is we're passionate about doing in life.


I will say, I gotta like what Rock_Salazar had to say about feeling committed to give birth to a new generation and continuing his family name. I like the nobility of what he said in his post.

Makes me want to think someday, when I'm out on my own, about his thoughts and think again if I want to pursue that way of life…
 
i'm still technically a kid but I'd love to have kids!! only problem is i'm not biologically able too...... tho if i ever get married i'd love to adopt instead! i'd just love to have kids to spoil and bake treats for <3
 
I kinda do, but my main problems are that I don't make enough money to support another living human and that I get headaches really easily around loud people. So a crying baby is probably not a good idea. But who knows... maybe if I can ever afford it perhaps adoption of an older child could be an option to skip the baby phase =P
 
i'll echo the reasons most of the "no" people have said in here. i personally don't feel comfortable bringing a kid into the world as it is currently, but i have thought about fostering or adopting one day. then the issue becomes that i don't think i have the patience or energy or time to be a good parent, but plenty of good parents make it work in the end despite those worries. so now the real qualm: i have too many things i want to do in my own life!! i got out of a relationship at the start of this year, and the freedom i've gained to put time and effort into my career has been enormous. my life is so so so so short and i'll be lucky if a do a tenth of the things i want to accomplish before it's over. i have nothing but respect for people who put their own lives on hold to raise children, and maybe it's just because i'm young, but personally, having kids just sounds like putting a handicap on myself that stops me from living up to my full potential. and THAT is the kind of thinking that reaffirms to me that i would be a terrible parent, lol.
 
No, I'm a trans man. Not happening, and as dramatic as it sounds, I'd rather die than become pregnant.
