general Do you want children?

I'm not exactly the most maternal girl out there. I have a protective instinct but it's usually something that I use as a necessity rather than choice. I don't realistically see myself raising a child or children. A man would have to be pretty brave (or insane) to have kids with someone like me.

I agree with that statement.  I have never really felt a need to have kids,  even as I've have grown older and people keeping telling that "baby"  cloak will go off at some point.   Which has not happened.

This is like a really big decision and requires you to be a responsible parent and stuff it is a life decision so having a child is not something you should do if you just feel like it but are not sure. If I did I think I would prefer to adopt there is a lot of people on Earth already that need families.

While there are good times and bad times with a kid, on top of not being sure I also think it's not a good time to have a child in this economy, not unless you have a very high paying job that can help cover all costs a child needs.

No. I grew up the child of poor, miserable parents, and I would never put a child through that. Not only that, but I feel like in raising a child, I'd be constantly struggling against a society where child rearing attitudes are based almost entirely on tradition and holy cows, as opposed to any genuine concern for the children's well-being and future prospects.

No way. I never wanted kids and now I'm too old anyway. I have 2 friends that are my age and they have babies, and I think about how old they will be when their kids graduate high school. 

Also I am broke enough as it is. I never had a girlfriend and I never will so it is all moot anyway. But if having a wife means I have to have a kid then that price is too high.


This is my new signature.

I think I'd be too scared of all the things that could go wrong with having a child. They could up and die on me if I don't take care of them just so. I could mess up my words when speaking to them and they would think I'm weird or hate me. I also don't know if I would have a good enough job to take care of them.

But I'm also curious on what it would be like to be a mother and experience the love of one, since I heard it is quite powerful and different from others. I would maybe just adopt one (I'm not so sure about going through the process of making a baby and birthing them, also being too ugly to get a father for them) since I would be nervous about how to divide attention between more than one child. I don't think I could even adopt since I'm sure the process requires speaking to strangers and I am terrible at doing that.

I don't know. I don't mind having kids the same way I mind having them. It's a bit of a mix for me on the topic.

Tho having a couple of mini me's running around(and turn them into part-time evil bastards like myself. :D ) is a fun idea.

Currently tho I need a girlfriend to even make plans on that front. :V

I'd only consider adopting kids if I had a boyfriend or husband really wanted to. And I mean pretty badly, considering the fact that my issues and lack of ability in the area wouldn't make me a really good parent.

I could guarantee that unless he really took charge, that kid would have issues. I wouldn't be able to really interact with them, or able to show much affection to them for the first few months at least... Poor child would have to deal with that...
