    No, not disappointed. I think I'd feel like there was something missing. IF I was way older and married and all settled down.

    I would not. I am terrified of children.....or at least, a child of my own.
    I feel like I wouldn't love my child. I would be an awful mother....
    But I have PLENTY of time to figure it out.

    I would be disappointed. I don't really know why. I just feel like they're waiting for me to birth them and love them and raise them and hopefully the world will be better for them having been here. I'm not in a hurry, because I have things to do before I dedicate my life to someone else entirely, but I hope someday...

    I've been asking a lot of serious questions today and here's another one:

    I love kids. I really do. I will probably one day have/adopt them, and I'm sure it'll be amazing if/when it happens. I wouldn't be disappointed (at least not in this point in time) if I didn't.

    But, doesn't that "dedicating your life to someone else entirely" freak you out? :eek:

    Yes. Biologically I'd be bummed, but I'd get over it and if I couldn't adopt for some reason, I'd be crushed.

    Children provide more life. I want to experience life to the fullest, and I think children bring a lot of that and more meaning to the world.

    Well, I've never had kids, and I'm not disappointed...
    I can't say much for when I get older, as I haven't yet.

    Why would you even have to dedicate your WHOLE life to your children ? Kids are a part of your life, not your whole life....
    Sometimes I think that parents are more dependable on their kids, than the kids are on their parents.

    Do you feel like you are going to have kids in the near future? Do you think you could be a good dad if you had a child today???

    No, I wouldn't. I rather they keep swimming in my penis and every now and then move to a female body/face.

    I would be.

    I love my kids. It would be a pretty lonely existence without a family.
