Honestly, it scares me when current GF talks about having kids when we've only been seeing eachother for a month. I really can't see myself being a dad. Certainly not a good one, anyway :/
I doubt I'd even enter a relationship with someone who had kids, never mind getting married. Having children is not something I ever seriously imagined myself doing and, if I were to do that, it would be something I would want to have a say in with my partner, not be something I would have to adjust to from the get-go.
Do we have the same parenting policies? Who gets primary custody of the children? I would try not to be shallow enough to pass up meeting a great person because life didn't go ideally for them.
But, if we had different disciplinary ideas and what children were allowed to have it would be a different story.
Because I kinda want a family later.... But I don't want to have kids??
If I could get an operation to not have kids, never, I would. I am terrified of pregnant woman (it's true. My legs becomes week when I see someone pregnant. Just thinking about it and I stick my belly inside and feel just weird in my body)
Anyway. I kinda want a family, maybe, but I don't see myself having one. So why not having one who's already in this world?
Like, if they weren't babies, or toddlers, or preschoolers, or gradeschoolers, or preteens, or tweens. Basically they'd have to be at least teenagers and more or less independent. I don't like kids and don't want to raise any.
Since I have a condition where I'm unlikely able to have children, I might be open to this. However, I don't know how I can handle if my significant other's kid is in their teens unless I myself is much older.
but, if circumstances meant that hadn't happened and wasn't going to happen, then yeah definitely. that'd be at least preferable for me over someone who didn't have kids, but as i say, i'd much rather my own kids
...not that i'd tell my hypothetical stepchildren that
