I have never wanted children of my own. They're nice and cute sometimes to be around when they belong to other people, but I prefer to not have them anywhere near me. I'm happy with having dogs.
Although I know the human population is exploding, I do believe enlightened people should breed to breed more enlightened people...these are the people that we need right now and in the future...ones that know what's going on and can make a change in this world.
Non-breeder here. I've never wanted children. I'm not the nurturing type and I'm probably too crazy. Got my tubes done as soon as I turned 30.
i guess i'm a little late for this poll. I already have 2 biological children and just brought home an almost 2yr old last week because he needed a home. no one seems to want them after they are a couple of months old so I took him. I will most likely continue to bring new children who need families into my home although, I will not have any more biological children. my only problem is trying to adopt every child who needs a better home. maybe when i finish college I can give more a loving home. so i guess my answer is yes the more the merrier as the saying goes.
I would love to have kids.. but not now.. My life is perfect right now I have a loving boyfriend school is great I have a good job.. But I am not ready to have a baby I am only 18. and my bf may be 20 but we are just not ready!
im only 16 but i already want kids. but at the moment i know im not ready to be a mum and i'm too young so i do everythin possible to make sure i dont get pregnant. my boyf (considerably older) is also ready for kids but understands that as much as i want them as well, i'm just too young to handle it right now. *sigh*age sucks*sigh*
I want kids. deffinitely. not now, but at some point when I'm ready, and have found the right person to have them with. I want to watch them grow up and have conversations with them, and see what kind of people they become.
I don't really like babies, ie I do not coo over them in public. Give me a puppy *any* day over a baby. I have never wanted to literally have a baby. I still would never want to give birth. I am severely medically phobic and it's just not on my list of things to do. That said, I often wish for the experience of raising a child, and it is something that I am interested in the future- adoption, etc- NOT childbirth.
i just had a guy ask me last night if i wanted to have a baby..and my reply "No, birth control and condoms work wonders!" Not to say that I don't want one in the future, just not right now. I need to get through college first, get a steady job, get married, etc etc..Although I was a baby crazed teen. Most of my friends/neighbors had little babies and I've always loved kids. So naturally I wanted one as soon as my hormones kicked in. Thankfully I managed to avoid having one.
I don't want children. I just don't. I can't see myself ever being a mother to anything but dogs and horses. Children aren't my thing and I'm pretty sure they never will be.
There are times when I do want kids, something instinctive comes out and I get all maternal. But then there are times when I think of what a damper having kids would put on my dreams. I'll probably end up with kids, but for now I'm not planning on it. I wouldn't be terribly unhappy with or without them.
Well my mind isn't completely made up but I've always been towards not having children. I think that if I did have kids I'd probably screw them up. Besides there's already enough kids in the world as is and why the hell would I want to be pregnant, I hear it's not much fun.
I have plans for my life, and until I have fullfilled what it is that I want to do with it, I dont think I will have kids.
the messed up thing is those who dont want kids could probably get pregnant in a blink of an eye and girls like me who want one so bad they can taste it seem to have the hardest time.
Same here. I might never have kids, I don't see anything appealing about babies. They just tie you down and there are too many in the world already. If anything, I'd become a foster parent...
I can understand entirely the view of this sentiment, even though I dont want to bring up kids and be tied to that life. I would only consider a family if I knew that the financial future was certain and that they would never lack food, and decent clothes and a fairly good standard of living. If I had to manage on state benifits or other social security payments it would drive me mad and I do not think that attitude would change, but if someone I could trust as a stable father to those kids came along, and we both had a decent income with regular jobs then I would consider it. I wonder if people who want babies so much but dont get pregnant, I sometimes wonder if its because you want one so much. I am not trying to sound as though I have any answers to your predicament but simply saying that sometimes things happen when you stop wanting them to happen to much. It is just something I have discovered during the last three years really
