Poll: Do you want to have kids when you grow up?

[Ionami]

I want 3 kids eventually. Grew up in a big family, loved it, and want one of my own.

 

[Ashbax]

Oh totally want a child! Just one though.
If it was a boy I'd name it 'Megaman'...
Imagine how cool it would be if you were called Megaman!

Just imagine how badly beaten that child would be every day at school.

Duh... That's why I'm replacing his arm with a cannon.

Obviously!

and will u give him a water canon for 1 April ?

Don't call him megaman, You nub, call him Gordon, and make his middle name freeman, and then give him a crowbar for his seventh B-day

 

[Jharry5]

Yeah, I'd like to eventually. But at nearlt 19, it's not really high on my priorities right now. Maybe after uni...
And if I meet the right woman.
If.

 

[Froobyx]

Of course I want kids
And I want them before I turn 27...

 

[Gamine]

I want children (im already grown ), but what do i do with them when they grow up (>10)

I dont think i can handle all that teenage stuff.

OP assumes everyone in forums is 12 and hasnt had sex yet

I don't see why he does. I mean I'm 19, and I've yet to grow up. I still play games as if there was no tomorrow. I'd rather hang out with friends rather than do some kind of important meeting. And I spend way too much on entertainment. I reckong I'll grow up at the age of 25 or something.

And I have no use of getting kids. My genes'll be transferred to the next generation without my help. I've got four siblings. Let them do the work.

Besides, the no kids thing goes right in hand with the I-don't-want-to-be-married thing.

you don't want to get married? , haven't you ever felt the desire to meet that other perfect person? and what happens when you die, who will bury you, who will carry on your family name? I'd never want to die alone

 

[Rascarin]

I want childrens. I plan to name one "Revan".

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

You should add an option that says: "I dunno".

Let's go through the various mythos in here. One, there is no "perfect person" in this or any world, and certainly no soul mate or "the one" out there. People aren't made for each other, there are just people out there that annoy us less and we enjoy more.

Two, I'd imagine a mortician will bury you. You're dead. Who cares at this point. A pile of meat and bone, made of carbon atoms that once housed an intelligence.

Three, family names are interesting as they were once helpful in preventing incestuous relationships, however, at this point, who cares? I'm sure the person has siblings or cousins or someone who will procreate and "continue the line" but in the end, it's meaningless political jargon.

Four, who says he or she would be alone? There are millions of people to be included in family and friends. Are you saying that the only way to validate a relationship is through legal measures? That in itself is sad. A contract shouldn't be needed in social interactions.

 

[Lord George]

I would like to but I doubt I'll ever get married due to a completely rational fear of commitment. Whenever things get too serious I feel trapped and jump out a window (well metaphorically anyway, though that would be an awesome way to break up with someone). I think its related to my claustrophobia in many ways, just feeling horribly trapped. Though there's always lying to girls then knocking them up and running away, that could work nicely.

 

[mykalwane]

yes mine blood line must go farther.
i don't like children that much but i want someone that can help me if i'm getting old.
and the family must sty exist.

Grammar aside I do agree with that. Need to have one kid to do that, and two so that way you have a back up in case one dies before that point. Mathematically it will happen, some will either die or fail. I know my parents had more then one knowing that I would fail at that. With two boys and one girl there is a good chance one will at least continue the line.

I'm quite happy being single and having my independence. I've never felt this driving desire to share my life with anyone outside of my family and a few close friends. I'm definitely not a nester, but my sister has more of those tendencies. I know she and her husband are planning on kids someday, so my mom will have grandkids to dote on. But me...I don't know. I'm a writer and an artist. I hope that when I die I'll leave something behind for people to remember me by, but it doesn't have to be my spawn. And I imagine my sister and family will be there for me. But you can't live your life around your death. I just want to live my life to the fullest. I don't want to have to turn down opportunities for someone else's sake and then live with those regrets. So nope. Not really looking for marriage or children or a whole lot of ties. I also don't know if I believe in true love or "that one special soul mate," either. I guess you could just chalk me up as one more cynic.

 

[ace_of_something]

Of course I want kids
And I want them before I turn 27...

I've notice most females say "I want to have kids before age X"
when most men say if they touch the subject at all "I want kids after I'm age X"

 

[The DSM]

me? as a parent?!

this is madness!

Madness?
THIS IS PARENTING!
*Throws baby at face*

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

Maybe, one day...

 

[The_Night_Walker]

someday

damn good answer

Basically the title.
i was at a party yesterday, and seeing all those little children, i thought about the future, will i be having kids?
i wanna know what you guys think, when you grow up, do you guys plan on having kids and making a family, or having none?

Why isn't there an "I already have kids" option?

and if you want , you can vote yes!
