For sure, but not now. Need to get a good routine together before even finding a woman.

As your kids grow you’ll notice things in them that amaze you. Like my daughter Sparrow is a great singer and can dance like nobody’s business. As a kid she was also great at soccer and could run like the wind. Very stubborn child though so she liked to kill me. My son is very intelligent and loves animals. He’s also very polite. Unlike my daughter who wins belching contests against my dad.

How many kids do you have?
And how old were you when you had them?

I had my daughter at 23. My other two kids are step kids

No I don’t want kids. I don’t think I would cope with them. My pdoc thinks the same.

I’ve got twin 16 year old girls.

When you have children of your own, they’re like two little hearts beating outside of your own chest.

Best move I ever made. You get a ‘re-do’ on your childhood vicariously through the kids!

Yeah I’m more worried about coping through the pregnancy… like hormones going crazy but I have a step son and seem to handle that okay.

Hoping to in the next 5 years :blush:

That’s one of the reasons I’d never want kids. I won’t be able to cope with all the suffering involved and also when they’re very young. All the crying and Mommy! Mommy! Oooh not for me!

I guess I’m too selfish to have kids. I need my time alone a lot, to journal and read.

I think those people who want kids are very strong and brave!

I feel you… I def have my worries about the suffering/sacrificing involved… and the unknown… but at the same time I have this urge to have em

I felt a lot like @Hadeda - too cold and selfish to welcome a baby into the world. I couldn’t overcome the negatives in my own childhood to think I could understand children and love them just for being children.

I think what contributed to my aversion to kids (besides my loner personality) is that I was the youngest in the family by far, and grew up almost like an only child, and was a bit spoilt. I didn’t have a lot of exposure to babies, and my mom also said they are a lot of work and that put me off as well.

In my thirties I lived with my sister and my 5 year old nephew. For three years. That cured me of ever wanting kids.
