  • if you DON’T want to have kids say why.

I’m too old and unstable to start having kids now.
I was married for 7 years and missed the opportunity.
I’m happily divorced.

I’d like to have kids but there’s a 50/50 chance that they would inherit my schizophrenia genes and that would be devastating.

I think you’re looking at a 10% chance according to the FAQ on this website. Im worried about my kids personally. I managed to have a blue-eyed, blonde-haired boy and there was only like a 6.25% chance of that (according to simple Mendelian genetics).

How old is he? His hair could still turn dark. I was blonde as a young child now I have brown hair.

No, because the future for human kind on this planet is bleak. I wouldn’t want to be born now, glad i was born in the 80s. They will keep people alive for 250 years staring at a computer screen. Maybe i think life sux and sz is blurring my vision, maybe normies like that type of stuff.

He’s three but I think he’s going to stay blonde. He was born with near white hair and in my family when we go dirty blonde youre born with dark hair, then it turns blonde and progressively gets darker. Same with my husbands side of the family.

My 1 year old has blonde hair but its a slightly different shade, like you can already see the dirty blonde starting.

I had blonde hair as a child too.

I don’t want kids because at 36 if I had a kid next year I would be over 50 when their 14. Plus with my Sza disorder, me being in charge of a little person who is completely dependent on me would not be good. Right now I don’t think I could work enough to support a kid. I think my limit would be that thing where you enter info for people wanting to sell stuff on ebay or something on case by case basis.

I still want to have kids someday. Only there are some problems. Women aren’t into me. That and the meds make me nearly asexual. Also I don’t have a source of income currently. So yeah big obstacles that I would have to overcome.

The only reason I would have a kid is to have someone to run to the store for me to buy me a coke every day.

If it was your kid they would drink the coke and have some elaborate entertaining story about what happened to it. :smiley:

I have had a kid. She turned out to be mentally ill like her parents and committed suicide.

I’d like them but it doesn’t seem likely I will. Logically speaking it’s not fair on the child. I can just about look after myself

I’d like to have kids, but if they get this sh!t disease it would break my heart. Plus I’m on abilify and the thought of sex is nonexistent.

I would have liked to have kids, but alcoholism and schizophrenia got in the way. I sometimes think it would have been so much easier to get out in the world and look for work if I was doing it for the sake of someone besides me. I’m not too heartbroken about it, though, because raising kids is hard, and there are so many things that can go wrong.

I don’t want because it is very expensive to raise kids here while with this money you could long-distance adopt many kids in the third world.

I think after kids life become more meaningful to me and I am feeling more healthy after getting these angles.

Well, that’s all good idea to adopt and raise kids in third world countries.

lol you are funny!

no kidsd as im stressed out enough as it is…also I don’t think id have any money for to raise them or for holidays
