general Do you want children?

[Clawdeen 21,160]

I have no desire to give birth to my own but I think I would adopt a kid.

[Twitchy-Tremor 306]

Nah I still have a hard time with my nephews when they stay over. I love em but  man can they scream and not listen some. 

[nevegrimes 9]

I think I want children but not now obviously

probably when I get a little bit older

[Evil Pink One 13,550]

Who would say no to a free dishwasher?

[daviddaviddavid 779]

Definitely, just not right away. By the time I turn 30 I'd probably seriously consider at least one though

[Antiyonder 1,390]

I would, but I lack the maturity to do so as is.  And it's better as some put it to regret not having kids than it is to regret having them and making them potentially feel like a burden.

Helping other family with their kids, is the best I feel I can do when given the chance.

I had my second child this summer but I’d like to have at least one more if possible.

I'm still so happy for you, Dreamy. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,274]

@TheRockARooster and I are happy for you, Dreamy  

[Starlight Serenade 3,855]

No. I think I am mature enough to know that I do not want any children. In my opinion it's very irresponsible to do so considering how the current state of matters is in the world and that you need to have a great income and partner to support said children. It's a long and difficult commitment and some people think it's a game when it's not. I have dated different people and all I can say is that you need the right partner to help you in parenthood. Not everyone can be a parent much less a good one.

Seeing as the birthrate in a lot of 1st world countries is going down I'd imagine there will be a lot of Nos. Bad wages with high expensives and bad work/life causes these things. As of personally, I don't see it ever happening.

I'm mixed on it. I'd honestly much prefer to just have a bunch of animals to take care of or foster instead, but if I were to have a partner who really wanted kids I'd be okay with it.

I still pretty much feel the same way. I just don’t think I’m really mentally stable enough to have a kid. And that’s not even touching on the world I’d be bringing a kid into.

It’s why the only way I’d even consider having a kid is if my partner really wanted one. And if I thought my partner would make a good parent.

[BritishBrony2012 858]

I don't want any, hard being myself and rising kids cand be hard for people like me, that hardly have to myself (if I have any girlfriend, she may be focus on them than me, as me for her). Hard to rised them right, they could end up with/mess up by wrong people.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202]

That's gonna be a long noooooooooooooo from me. My views are that the human race is simply too populated as is and it (the human race) has made it exceptionally difficult to make it all work. That's just the socio-economic aspect of it. Having children at all simply is not something I'm meant for. The way my mind works and the mental disorders I have, it would be a total disaster.

"Do you want children?"  NO!

Still yes.

I've always wanted a daughter specifically. A little troublemaker who is a carefree idiot throughout their childhood. The sort that would bring home a skunk because she wanted a pet. Or glues their homework to the roof with no explanation as to why or how it happened. Or happily torment boys with giant spiders just because she has a crush on them. Then watch them grow up to see what direction they choose to sail in life and embark on whatever mad adventure that awaits them with all the regrets and glory that would become their beloved memories.

Sadly. That is one of the things I won't likely get to experience. I could always build a robot and teach it to feel I suppose.

 

Partial solution: You could buy a skunk plush and name it "Lil Stinker the Troublemaking Skunk".

I'm actually tempted to do that now.

[Mothra 779]

The kids around where I live scream so much that I've started going deaf in one ear, definintely not going through another 18 years of that

Exactly this, and from observation and experience 99.9% of parents should never have had children, are incapable of unconditionally loving them and have too much baggage from their own childhoods that they just thoughtlessly pass on - commuting on places like buses can stress me out considerably simply from witnessing how horribly parents can interact with their kids, or give literal infants tablets... too many just enjoy being pathetic failed tyrants going on a power trip on the only human beings they can feel they have control over to make up for their weak personalities. It repulses me that they can just casually have children and our abuse-normalising society just gives them a pass to do as they wish.

It also just sounds like a horrible time and money sink. I'll take my money and freedom to explore the world and my interests and figure myself out and if I ever somehow get old enough to need a "carer" you can take me out back and shoot me as I'd not be interested in living up to an age where my hypothetical child would have to take care of me anyway. I have zero interest in the "norm".

[Snoopy Fan 8,267]

I’m kind of in a mix on whether or not I want kids.

[Fluttershutter 2,917]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Crypty Scribbles 6,512]

I think I do. I just don't feel ready yet. But also I think I would be the cool type of dad ^•^

I would LOVE to hear that you may have children one day, oh my gosh... 

As for myself... not sure... never really wanted to add more to the population of the planet but I really do love babies and children are the most adorable thing in the world! 

[Do svidaniya 2,067]

Nope, having children is exceptionally selfish and I won't entertain the thought. Not interested in the brainrot that comes with being a parent.

I feel the same way. I think I will eventually have children, but uhh..........I'm not ready yet. I don't want to reveal my age publicly so let's just say that I have an age range that I think is ideal for getting kids, and I'm not there yet.

(don't worry moderators I'm above 13. I'm not an underage user lol)

Nice choice for a GIF

gotta love those twilighting moments

(also if twilighting is a verb then does that mean that it should be capitalized since it was derived from a name?????)

[Spark Thunderbass 1,696]

I would rather much have a companionship marriage than I am having kids, especially because I hate the noise of crying infants, the worst noise in all of the universe in my opinion, I immediately start getting very angry once I start hearing it.

Besides that, I simply would not have the nerves to put up with certain kid behaviours like tantrums and such.
