in the poll, say whatever you want here. Did you really WANT to have a baby or did you just think it was the next thing to do?
I’ll want my wife to have fertility treatments; coupled with my high sperm count we’ll create a small nation Hotwater
It started where I didnt want kids. I am afraid of repeating my mother's mistakes. Now that I have a man that I am convinced will be a wonderful father, I feel better about the idea. I still dont hanker for a child, but I am ok with the idea. I know it would make him incredibly happy, and I want him to be the happiest If i can help it, and now that I know my niece and see how precious she is, makes me even more ok with the idea. I was afraid I wouldnt be able to care for an infant. Its scary shit.
Off and on. By the time I was pregnant with my daughter I really wanted a child. As a little girl, I dreamed of being a mommy. seriously, i wanted like ten kids and a farm and to stay at home all the time-weirdness-... -my ideas as a young teen were the complete opposite. I wanted to live in the city,and never have any children. When I met my hubby I sort of wanted a child again.-more so as years went on. When we got preggy the 1st time- I was not ready, but excited- when we lost the baby.. THEN, I really wanted a baby.The timing hadn't been right, but for years we just went with "whatever will be will be" about trying- got married,tried a little harder- and then finally my daughter came along. Now, no, not at all.I love my kid, she is awesome. I do not want another baby. (maybe one day will adopt an older kid) I don't have the "I want another baby" baby crave gene. Sometimes it makes me feel a failure at this whole woman thing.
this is an interesting subject, but the poll was clearly aimed at the small minority of posters who already have children, so i'll withhold my wisdom at this time.
I voted something next in my life. It's how I feel about children right now. But I dunno, I have bursts of emotions and it's confusing. I'd make a good mom, so I lack half of the desire to be one. The other half I feel like I do. I'm totally split. It wouldn't be the end of the world for me, if I was pregnant and wanted to keep it.
i chose seemed like the next thing i should do, that that answer isn't honest either. i didn't wanna have a baby but i got pregnant, and i had her anyways i guess i was curious about babies or something, i don't know.
i will have kids in 10 years or so. i already have a great guy to father them. but i don't want to get pregnant for a while if at all. i value my freedom immensely. but goddammit they are gonna be cute....
I love kids.... when I can give them back I am not ready for children. I'm still trying to adjust to being a child myself in this grownup world
when I was younger I didn't want kids, but after a while I drifted back and forth to eventually wanting a kid or two...eventually. I can't say I was delighted to find out I was pregnant but it was more because I was worried than ...disappointed? I knew I wanted it though, just worried I might have to raise it on my own. so I wanted one, but got it sooner than I expected...definitely not because it was something to do lol
