I kinda have to have a kid, cause if not, the line sorta dies with me. So I'd have to have a boy, ora girl who refused to take another name.
Unfortunately people dont think I'd be good at raising kids, because I'd raise them like my Uncle and grandfather raised me. Which can be summed up mainly of these sayings:
1) No blood no tears
2) A beaten man is a dog, and a dog has no place in the home except to serve
and of course, the one I hear most often:
3) You dont need a hospital, a good caking of mud will get you through any injury.

Not at all, I would be so bad with a kid.
Firstly while most people I know have at least some affection for babies and kids, I have none. I have no instinct that goes "cute, future of species, must protect".
Secondly I already have a baby that takes all my money, my motorbike.
Thirdly through motorbiking and partying and a slowly degenerating mental state I would be a very bad parent.
So no I don't think I will ever have kids, unless a condom breaks or something.

ADD runs in my dad's family line. My brother has it badly, and he has my family's temper problems. Those two together make him literally impossible for me to connect with him as a sibling. He has tried to kill me. Repeatedly.believer258 said:Only one?brandon237 said:
Now, if you don't want more than one, that's your choice. But I've got a younger sibling, and while we're both obnoxious assholes to each other all the time, we still care a whole lot. There are times where I don't know what I would have done without my brother.
Of course, I can imagine that when he and I fought over tiny things, it caused my parents' hair to turn gray quicker as they tried to separate us into corners. Which never worked, we both had the biggest imaginations and putting us in a corner didn't do anything to punish us
I'm just saying that having a sibling is a good thing. Well, if you only want one, there isn't anything wrong with that, just don't rule out a second or third.
I'd call you crazy if you wanted more than three, though.
EDIT: Forgot to answer OP's question.
At 19 years old... no. I actually don't know whether I want a kid or not, or even to be married - I greatly value my "me" time. I haven't ruled out the possibility, and I would most certainly do all I could for the child, and for whomever I created it with, and it could very well happen. At the moment, though, future children aren't on my mind. I need to find a really good way of making a good amount of money first, then I need to find a girl that will stay with me for the rest of my life, then the whole "kids" thing will come into play. No time to think about it now.
If, say, we did go for the "our" child and no adoption route, the risk of an ADD child would be rather high, as would some for of vision impairment. If sibling one was ADD, looking after them and a younger one would be stroke-inducing. If child two was ADD, it would be stroke inducing for child 1 (I know first hand).
And we can give more attention to one child, more money, less fighting, easier to get said 1 child out of house. And I don't like children. So that is definitely going to be a "1 and only 1" scenario for me. I do see what you are saying, but I could never handle 2 of me, or even one of my brother as a parent.
I'm 17, so it hasn't really crossed my mind before now. Hey, maybe sometime far, far in the future. I'm a patient man, but I cannot stand screaming babies.
If we get enough money to be sure we can ensure her/his future no matter what. Yeah than sure, but until then, no.
I require no kids and no marriage. I hate kids and do not plan on having any. But if there was to be an accident I would accept my responsibility. Because if I hate anything more than kids it is men who pussy out of responsibilities.
I would like to have kids some day. Raise 'em right, with good moral values. And they have to be geeks like me. That is a must.
Or maybe we just don't want kids.Wondermint13 said:
No, my life isn't noisy, no I don't miss out on sleep, and no I don't even play video games much anymore. I don't know what point that was supposed to make.
And kids are annoying to me. They're loud, obnoxious, and explicitly selfish gits and pointless to talk to.
Your motivations for having kids are probably just as stupid as those you perceive of everyone else.
I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow, much less into the future when I'm of the kid-planning age. None as of now.
Provided I eventually meet the woman I wish to marry, then yes. I would like to procreate. I've always liked the idea of leaving a permanent imprint on the world, shaping the very existence of a human being's life.
And of course, hopefully I can raise them right and provide the world with one more contributing member of of society with respect for fellow human beings. The more people who do that instead of producing wastes on society, the better the world will be.
