Either I want one or I want to adopt one. My parents did an atrocious job of it, but I think that taking their efforts as a guide on what not to do would yield good results.

If you think kids are boring and not for you, then I'm afraid you're actually the butt of the joke here. See, kids past the diaper age are crazy fun with their absurd behaviour and morality. Your parents had you just so they could laugh at... with you. And they are also great company, since nowadays they sit at their pc in your basement until they're 30.
No. I'm too irresponsible to have kids. Funny thing is, a friend of mine has noticed how much I love looking at cute little babies and is convinced that one day me and my girl are going to break up since i'll want to have kids and she hates the very thought of pregnancy and doesn't find kids cute at all.
Not planning on having children, I'm gay... so that's a problem already, but I wouldn't want to have someone else's child and I wouldn't adopt... I just don't like kids, nothing against them really, but I had to pretty much raise my three younger cousins by my seld, so I've had enough of kids.
... though I'm always allowed to change my mind.

This. I have genetic perks that humanity must share! (see immunity to the downside of alcohol, utterly and completely!)Bara_no_Hime said:
Anyway, I see myself having kids, but I don't see where it would happen when I wouldn't freak out that the "me" portion of my life was ending for at least eighteen years.
I'm 28, male.
I have no desire to have children, not because I don't like kids, they can be fun, but honestly, its just too damn expensive. I can barely afford MY life, much less trying to pay for someone else's. Having a kid in this day in age is just asking for the worst to happen to you.
Also, I mostly don't like people, a specific person is fine, but PEOPLE...oh geez. Why would I want to add to that ever increasing mass of traffic and congestion? No thanks.

Not really seeing them in the grand scheme of things right now.
But I will definitely aim for having kids when all things settle down a bit study/career wise.
And two would be a great little amount for me.

No, I don't think I will. I doubt I'd be a very good father. Also I don't want to be tied down like that just in case I get really bored with life at some point and decide to travel the world or kill myself or something like that (and I think that statement alone should be enough evidence that I wouldn't be a good father).
I might consider adopting, but I'd prefer to live without the financial/energy drain that is a child. It's a better idea to donate to foundations who know what they're doing.
