Something I've been thinking about for the past few weeks is if I ever wanna have children.

I think it's something that sorta skewed my thinking as I've been reading about lolcows and nearly every abhorrent group on the internet. But for some reason I'm kinda disinterested in having children. The only scenario I can think of eventually having children (besides unexpected ones) is adoption, and even then realistically for some reason I'd still have reservations. Christ I feel like I'm coming off as a massive judgemental prick.

Does anyone have children? Do you have plans or desires to reproduce? Discuss
 
Every girl I've taken an interest in (all two of them) are incredibly small. I don't think I'd want to put them through that kind of hell...
 
Maybe once I'm older, have a career and my own place and meet someone I really like who would make an excellent husband and father, yeah? But oh man oh man, do I have my opinions about child raising...

KIDS ARE EXPENSIVE

But yeah, I agree with Niachu's sentiments. There are too many things I need to improve and things I want to do, so I'm not thinking about this issue right now.
Definitely. If there's one reason I wouldn't want kids, it's having to worry about everything on the fucking planet ever.

Since the last time I seriously considered, I'd say I've made amazing progress and practically became an entirely different person, but with that maturity comes the realization that I can't handle kids every day for the rest of my life. Marriage doesn't sound so bad in the near future. Going to school, getting jobs, supporting each other, sounds pretty productive to me. Still probably not gonna worry about that until I'm out of college.
 
I'm still debating about having children.

On the one hand, children cost a shitload of money to raise. Plus they hold you down, I mean, it'd be cool if I was married or whatever and we were one of those adult couples that was able to do cool stuff like go to the Bahamas or whatever instead of having to go to Disney World with kids. Plus children are little sociopaths.

On the other hand, it'd be cool to try and raise a kid better than I was raise. I'd teach them Latin and Ancient Greek at an early age and pretty much do everything so they could be super smart. Plus I'd teach them chess and go. Also I'd have about two children so I could have an optimal number of people (two kids, my partner, and I) for most board games.

I've got time to think about it though.

Pretty much this too, at least for right now. I want to go on excursions around the world without being tied down to home. I don't like to think of kids as ending your life, though, but rather being a new element that you introduce to it when you're ready to.
 
Even if I wanted too, I'm really absent minded, and it would be way to much of a responsibility.
 
I do like kids, my highschool had a Church and daycare attached, and for extra curricular for a couple years, I helped out at the daycare and everyone liked me. But for lots of reasons I couldn't see myself actually having one of my one, plus I'm 90% sure I'm gonna end up with a man.

Always adoption/surrogacy.

For a lot of reasons I still don't want kids, I've thought about the subject a lot. I'm gonna get a couple cats instead.
 
I'd love kids, but I have to focus on college first and foremost right now, It's definitely at least 4-5 years or so down the road still. I'd ideally like 2 or 3, maybe 4 (a very big maybe) depending on how the state of things are, but probably no more than that, besides, too many pregnancies can be taxing on your body. Quality over quantity.
 
I pretty much knew I'd never want kids in my early teenage years because I realized how fucking selfish I really am. The thought of having children fills me with dread. The expenses, the fact that you're stuck with a helpless being that needs you, the messes and hassle and school, and UGH. I also don't want to be responsible for any psychological damage I could inflict on a kid; I have no patience, I'm a perfectionist, and I'm kind of an asshole in that way. I don't want to pass my neurosis onto another living being. Also, the thought of having a child and it ending up defective freaks me out. Because it WOULD happen to me with my luck.

I don't appreciate children on any level. I feel bad because even when I'm around my relative's younger kids, I don't have the energy to pay attention to them for more than five minutes. Let me live in peace with my own money, you know? Luckily, my boyfriend feels the same way so there's going to be no arguing this down the road.
 
I like kids, they're cute at times but when it comes to actually dealing with them I'm awkward as fuck. I'm much more of a pet person. But if push came to shove I would either end up adopting a kid or I may well end up being a surrogate mother for some friends seeing as I don't see myself in a relationship or any position to be having children in the foreseeable future (I mean for at least the next 10 years or so). I'm too solitary to consider children properly, I like my alone time and I'm pretty sure alone time and children are a big no no. I'd end up neglecting quality time with the child just so I could be alone and that's not really fair on the kid is it?
Seeing as I'm practically Asexual/Aromantic anyway it wouldn't be likely that I'd be in a relationship if I had a kid and then they'd miss out because of my solitary nature.

Whatever way I look at it, I'm not going to be having kids the way it's looking because if I did it wouldn't be in any way fair on the kid. It's not for me. People tell me I'd be an "awesome mother" but I don't see it. Yeah sure I can give good advice but there's times where I can't even get a fucking dog to listen to me, let alone a sentient being with their own thoughts and views.
