I wanna start a family

Eeeeeeeeh.
Sometimes the idea of possibly maybe having one in the future is nice.
But the cost, the responsibility, the noise, the SOUL SUCKING?
No. Not worth it.
 
I was definitely in the "ew, gross, no way" camp for many, many years growing up. Lately though, I guess as my ~biological clock ticks down~... I'm sort of coming around to the idea? Like, I'd love to one day--not necessarily soon, but one day--be able to raise my kids while my friends are also raising kids and arrange playdates and help each other out and all that. I'm certainly in no position for it now, but I like to think that one day I'll be stable enough for it.

The one thing that throws a bit of a wrench in it is my health issues. I mean, pregnancy is already a really gross idea to me and I sure as hell don't want to go through labour and actually giving birth because ew on so many levels... but I also don't want to even slightly risk passing down any of the chronic ailments that I suffer from. I wouldn't wish these on anyone, certainly not a potential daughter I might have. So if I ever do settle down with someone to raise a family, we'll either have to adopt or maybe I'll luck out and find a nice girl to spend the rest of my life with who will be a total trooper and willing to do all the hard work to bring a kid into the world because I sure won't, lmao.

I think I'd also be perfectly content growing old without having kids though. I have no strong preference right now so I'll just deal with wherever life takes me.
 
It sounds childish, but I've always wanted to get married and have a family, with at least two kids, maybe 3. I think the only trouble I'd have raising kids is I can get annoyed by other peoples kids really easily, but at the same time I really love them too D:
 
Do I want kids? No, I'm not capable of taking responsibility for a child yet. Don't think I will be either, I can't even see myself having a partner who is dependent on me, let alone having a child.

Ideally my partner would be someone I can depend on. Not like I wouldn't contribute or refuse to have a job or anything like that, no, but someone who is simply a lot more put together than I can be, because to be honest I'm ok on my own but I still have a long way to go on the whole "How to Adult" thing. I'm never that cool of a person. x3

I do love children, but only in that "Aww, you're so cute" way when they're acting like little angels and aren't being snotty brats or royal pains in the ass.
 
No thank you. I would like to be in a stable, romantic relationship some day, but the thought of kids has never been a good idea to me before. I don't like kids, and after working in a grocery store, my dislike has only strengthened. Having to hear them scream and cry because they wanted to be in the cart with the red car instead of the blue one, or their parents didn't get them the sugar cereal they wanted, or whatever they're so crushed about is just so unappealing. Maybe when I get older I'll change my mind, but for now, it's a definite no.
 
As much as I can desire wanting kids, I don't think I'd be able to. Most of this is because of my special needs. I just don't feel as though I'd be fit as a parent. I wouldn't know what to do to take care of one. I can hardly take care of myself, let alone another human being with more needs than mine. Hell, I don't even think I could handle childbirth itself. It'd be such a horrifying experience for me. Probably much worse than it is for an average person. :c

Sure, I love kids... and I love telling other parents how cute their babies are, but I can't imagine having one myself. It's sad to think that my parents will never have the chance of getting grandkids, but even they know it's the truth of the matter. I'm just not really fit for it and probably never will be. I'd rather not have a child and end up being a burden to them. I'd also rather not have the state take my child away from me if I were to have one. I'd feel bad for my future child and be faced with the guilt for the rest of my life. Nope. Just... Nope.
 
I'm probably the sort of person who should have children (high IQ, member of declining native population) but I simply have no interest in them or in contributing to global overpopulation. Nor do I have the resources as a part-time worker. I might not necessarily have to be the working parent, but the idea of taking on full-time work just to be able to support offspring that take away my home time too is about the least appealing life choice I can imagine.

I want to have kids with my fiancee one day and we talk about it sometimes. the thing is that i would want to adopt once i was stable enough. And i also wpuld homeschool them because i dont trust the prussian school system and i don't want other kids raising my kids. its nice to think about but ill wait till I'm 30 haha.
 
I would like to have one eventually. I want to find a girl who is as much of a Pokemon/Anime fan as I am lol. That's all I ask for, and for her to be a down to earth girl who's loyal. That would make me a happy man. Then she and I could raise little Pokemon Masters together.
 
Definitely in the future. Maybe it's the fact I've always been an only child, but was fond of other kids and looking after my younger cousins and older cousins' kids. Probably not for a couple of years when my then partner and I are financially stable and such - I'd probably get a pet first before any kids happened xD
 
I'd love to have kids one day. I think I can handle it - I get along well with little kids. I have a niece and nephew and they're wonderful.

If me and my girlfriend are still dating by the end of 2016, we might get engaged.
 
I want a daughter or two, eventually. I'm just waiting for the right person. I know I want children but not right now, later down in the road. But not right now of course. I just need to find the right person who will treat me right and all that fun stuff. If I do have a daughter, I will name them Willow or Cherry possibly. And a guy Dan or Arin. I'm dumb idk. I do want children eventually, though.
 
I don't think I'm fit for the responsibility of having a family, so no, I don't want to.
 
I'd prefer not to, but if the woman I want to marry wants kids then I could possibly be down with the idea. No more than 2, only 1 if possible.
