I have had my tubes tied since I was 22. I never wanted children and I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t get pregnant so I had the surgery. I love my niece but I don’t want to have kids myself.

I’m not having children.
When I got surprise pregnant in 2013 my husband and I scoured the world for perfect parents to adopt the baby.
We found them and he has a very happy home.
We see him a few times a year and skype often.
Its a very open adoption, he knows I’m his birth mother.

I wanted only one and I had only one.

I was very uninformed about my illness and had children willingly. I wanted a big family like my relatives. My children have Autism but I love them dearly. Things are fine now but I don’t know if they will ever be able to support themselves. It turned out to be more difficult with my issues and theirs.

Not to be dramatic but I’d be traumatized if I found out I couldn’t have kids. I really want to have a family. With someone I love. I see friends with families and jobs and comfy houses in the city and I want that. Plus let’s not mention my fear of being forever alone, dying one day in the house my parents left me without one person to visit me!!! I love my parents and my extended family in China and it makes me want to continue the tradition. And I want to do all that camping and summer activities and reading and meeting other parents and stuff.

I’m scared to have kids, I fear they will get schizophrenia and I wouldn’t want anyone I care about to have this illness

It was hard to hold babies when I did, my anxiety made them cry, then I would get delusional that they were seeing angels and devils. Maybe now that my delusions are gone I would try holding one again, but I’m not responsible enough to raise a child. I’ve left my aunts grandson unattended once when he was 3 and I was supposed to be watching him, my aunt was only gone for a short time but came back and was yelling my name. I felt so bad, and lucky he didn’t get hurt. All my relatives know not to let me babysit. I was 21 when that happened and I was never trusted again

I am not planning to have a child in my life, but if I marry, I want to adopt one.

I decided a very long time ago (when i was a kid myself in fact) that i didn’t want to have any children. I have multiple reasons for this, but a large one is my schizophrenia. I struggle to take care of myself. There is no way i could take care of children.

I don’t really want kids, never did, but if I happen to become pregnant I might change my mind if instinct kicks in. I love my husband so much so having his child will be an honour
Not planning any though!

I did the same thing you did @Winterblues. I left my sister’s son, my nephew, at home, alone, for about 15 to 20 minutes when he was either 3 or 4, I don’t remember. No one trusted me again to babysit for a very long time.

I don’t plan to have kids either. The schizophrenia limits me. I can barely take care of my cat and doing school. I just don’t have enough energy to do a full time job and raise kids. If I ever did have children I’d probably adopt cuz I’m taking a lot of meds and don’t want to put a baby through the med withdrawal or worse while potentially pregnant. I’ve never really fantasized about raising children. Sometimes it makes me sad cuz I’d like to have more family members but I’m just not capable I don’t think. My family and psychologist keep trying to ask if I’ll regret it and telling me I still could. Maybe I could but I just don’t think I have enough energy. Maybe if I didn’t have schizophrenia I would. Idk

I can’t afford it for a start. I have a feeling my mums depression may have started after the kids and I may inherit that. Plus sza it’s just not adding up it really is a shame kids are amazing

Babies don’t like me and I don’t like them. We’re incompatible.
