Hey guys, as above, for me i am happy enough not to have children, i can chi havi havingjust about look after myself! having children would stress me out, thoughts?
I’m OK without them. My siblings will have kids anyways
Yes me too. I never wanted children and I’m glad I never fell pregnant. I think the suffering isn’t worth it. All the sickness, noise and chaos will be too much for me. My pdoc told my husband I wouldn’t be able to cope with children and he’s right! I’d go crazy.

I never wanted children. Schizophrenia saved me from sleepwalking into having them.

I would absolutly love to have another baby. Being a Daddy was the best thing in my life. I missed out on seeing my 17yr old grow up - and that pains me greatly.
Im too bloody old now - so ive missed the boat, but i take comfort in the fact i babysit the neighbours lil one now and again.

I am glad that I have had the experience of children, glad that I have them as adults and teenagers now, but I shouldn’t have. I was always lucky enough to be with my wonderful wife who allowed me to go to the garage or out walking whenever it started getting to me.
Looking back, however, I wouldn’t do it again if given the opportunity to live my life over. They are wonderful, terribly stressful, amazing, frightening, expensive, worth every penny, and they make me smile deeper than I ever imagined possible, but the stress and responsibility was so much.
Im in a relationship now - but the issue of children will never come up. Shes too interested in having fun and doing her thing - and i dont blame her.
I simply havent got the energy in the mornings to do night feeds and all the rest of it - cos im a knackered old man at 45 - and the pills dont allow it, i wouldnt wake up - if baby was crying.
I like to be a surrogate daddy to the neighbours tho ( i can give her back after all lol) , so that sorta fulfills my paternal instinct.

I do want children.
I can’t have them.
I don’t want to have babies or toddlers, because the stress would be too much for me. But I’d love to foster an older child.
I don’t see a point in spending thousands of dollars on fertility treatments when there are so many children out there in need of parents already.

I didn’t plan to have a kid, she just happened. It turned out well so no complaints.

I’m scared witless about the idea of having a child. I have a hard time taking care of myself. I would fear That the illness would pass on to them, or at a minimum having a SZA father would come with complications that would be unfair for a child to try to process.
I won’t do that to another being, they deserve better than I can offer.
My fiancée doesn’t want kids either, so it works out.
I’ve had a vasectomy, myself.
I have 6. Some days I want to give them back. Some days are great.

I had a hysterectomy and can’t. In theory, I guess I thought I would have children some day. I guess if I had the right partner we could adopt… also, if he had kids, I’m open to helping raise them.

Sort of wanted them for a short while. Glad I didn’t and don’t want them in the future.
I am a little open to mentoring a gf kid but that may not be an issue.
The apartments complex I’m going to is mostly 1 bedroom.
I have one daughter and 2 stepdaughters. I love being a mom

I had a son at the age of 20. He died 9 years ago when he was only 30 years old. My wife and I are in our late 50’s and early 60’s. No, we don’t want any more kids.
