I never wanted kids when I was growing up. Then I met my now-ex, became a domesticated chic, and popped out a few. Then he left me. All things considered, my boys are awesome, and I can't imagine life without them. No matter how hard you try and plan your life out, you can't prepare for everything. But having kids is a lifelong committment and it's damn hard work. I doubt if I'll ever have more, but I'm a big fan of that "never say never" phrase :)
 
I've been married for 3 years and as yet have no longing for children. Maybe I'm just selfish and caught up in this materialistic world of 'me, me, me', or it could also be as Azzztroboy says 'the world is going down hill so fast'. Either way, I'm quite fortunate that my wife feels the same way...but then again, I too am an avid fan of that perennial phrase 'never say never'. Who knows, one morning whilst I'm sleepy-eyed and warm under the doona, my wife may tap me on the shoulder and say 'honey,.......
 
No kids. NO kids. All they do is eat and poop and cry. Eat and eat and eat then poop and cry and cry some more. ugh. No kids.
 
I love kids-until they turn into teens. I would like to have one child-but first that would require me to get a husband. Plus, I don't think I would be a good mother- I'm a perfectionist, and a neat freak...and I don't handle stress well. If I married rich, and could afford to be only a stay at home mother, then I would think about kids-other than that, I'll stick with pets ;) At least they never turn into teenagers!
 
I have a 9 month old little girl. Let me tell you having my little girl is the best feeling I ever had in my life. She was the thing that really made me open my eyes and want to do something with my life. Yeah it's hard work, but when you are the only person who knows what makes her cry and you are the only person who can make her smile there's a feeling you get inside that makes all the hard work worth wild. :)
 
One day, maybe. I'd like to have kids, one or two. The idea of little plazma's in the abstract is quite good. But taking care of two kids would be far far too much for me for a long time. :)
-plaz out-
 
I didn't want to have children until I met and fell in love with my boyfriend. Now, I know that one day we will get married and I just feel this deep desire to have his children. But when the time is right.
 
I want to have a child, ONE, but not any time soon, Maybe when I'm thirty or something. Why? Because I would like to bring a person into this world, and teach him/her everything I know.
 
i have a little boy who is a complete nut.
he is the best playtoy i have ever had.
i never really wanted kids, or in other words never really thought about it in the wishing and hoping way... but it has made me really happy and is a lot of crazy fun.
 
I don't want kids. I don't think I could handle the responsibility.
Besides, I picture myself living most of my life alone, since I am sort of a loner.
 
porn*, my name is Holly :) It such a pretty name isn't it?
I definatly want kids. When, I don't know but definatly with the right person and at the right time. I want to be financially stable enough to afford them and give them all the things they want and need.
Children are the world's sunshine when everything is dark.
 
I want kids, but not until I am financially stable and obviously with the right person. Think about how convenient they are, get you food, rub your toes... j/k ;)
 
I really have never wanted kids--in fact, I hated kids when I was one--but I think after I've failed in all of my endeavors that I'll long to live vicariously through the failures of my children in the various fields that I will force them into ;)
Seriously, I think I will eventually reach the point where having children is an overwhelming desire, but I don't want to have any kids until I have finished what I need to try and accomplish...I don't want to resent my kids or regret having them; I don't want to create an either/or between children and my own happiness. I want them to either be the most important part of my life or not a part at all. I realize this is a very limited (and most likely naive) point of view on parenthood, but I simply don't want my kids to be as secondary to me as I was to my parents. :| Not to sound bitter or anything--this is intended in my kids best interest ;)
 
Oh yeah- I want kids. I never gave two shits about it until I was about 24, and then "Bong!" the biological started ticking. It gets stonger every year, and babies just keep getting cuter and cuter. I've become one of those people who "oh and ahh" at babies on the street.
WTF? I used to make fun of those people when I was 22yrs. Nature -powerful stuff.

I'd like to have a child or two sometime in the future. As for waiting for the right time, I would not know when that would happen if it ever did. So I will just do what I always do and if by some chance I do manage to get a woman pregnant, and she would like to have the child then I would be ready (or at least be as ready as I would ever be.)

ever since i was little i have always wanted kids ... love them ... but about 5 years ago the doctor told me that I couldn't have any :( ... i still can't get over it really ... but there are ways around it now. The doctor told me that I can have an egg put in me but it will cost me over £2000 .... i just don't have that sort of money at the moment, but i will one day ... I have always wanted 3 kids (2boys 1girl) but if i only have one then thats all good for me. Aslong as I can share my love with 1 child i'll be happy. :)
