Nope. I'm great with kids as long as they belong to someone else. Besides, as I get older, I'm realizing that I have more and more of my father's traits, and he was shitty at his job.

The sins of the father pass to the son, I guess.

I would love to, one day. After I've grown up properly myself.

While I do despise kids, I would very much like to have one. I'd see if it wasnt possible to raise that little bastard to become a decent human being unlike all those shit kids you see nowadays...

I don't want them at all. Not like there aren't enough of the little heathens anyways. People need to stop popping these little shits out like they deserve them or like were low on human population.

This is a pretty major point of contention between me and my girlfriend, I suspect this will be what gets us separated eventually... *shrugs*

* Adoption is what people should be thinking about if anything, those kids need a lot of help.

Yes i plan to have kids, it would be a terrible tragedy to allow my superior genes to die with me.

I never thought I would want children until I held my niece in my arms the first time. Here is this little creature that will love you unconditionally and need you for everything if they are to survive.

Same feeling happened when I got to hold my newborn nephews too, I'm told my uncle cried when he held me after I was born because he thought he would never get to be a father.

I think the feeling is primarily an evolved response to ensure that the newborns are cared for by their kin until they can fend for themselves, regardless of the cause the feeling is real.

I want to. I absolutely adore babies for some reason. But if the kid turns out to be a little brat, I'm not letting them get away with it. I don't believe in hitting kids though.

If anything, adopt. My partner has mental health issues, so I'd be terrified leaving her with a baby. She has genetic susceptibility for various things, and we're both autistic spectrum, it's just not fair to risk a child's health for the sake of having a kid.

Besides, I was 2 months prem and had to have a lot of restorative surgery, I'm probably sterile anyway.

if i live long enough and find my significant other yeah, but i currently have a theory im gonna die young and alone so no promises. But without children how can the species carry on? also they are hilarious little buggers as long as you keep them in check

I think that the demographic here might give a untrue picture of how the rest of the world looks. Just saying.

Anyway, yes I do. I want to love and marry my girlfriend and have beutiful young children with her. If I have it my way, I don't want to be to old either, 22-23 perhaps.

i just dont really fancy the baby stage. Plus giving a kid a new home seems like a nicer thing to do.
Yeah... come to think of it... This would eliminate most of the concerns I cited with having kids, personally. And it would give a kid a second chance at life.

The only thing is, that whole baby stage you mention is where a lot of the essential bonds are formed. A kid you adopt can be just as gracious and loved by you as any child you raised yourself, but I don't know if that level of bondedness would ever be present.
Im not a girl, so i'd probably have less of a biological connection to any potential babies, So that doesnt really bother me.
But obviously its something that would be taken into consideration for the significant other.

I don't plan to. At least not now. I enjoy other people's children more.

*looks at what's written*

oh... What I meant to say was... eehhrrmmm.. *cough*

EDIT; I would rather be an uncle, you get to see the kids when they're happy and you get to do the fun stuff (like amusement parks). But you don't have to deal with the pains of getting them ready for school and stuff.
Plus, I work with kids and I have a little sister who's six, so I'm not really jonesing for that. Right now.

Yes! Why? Because I love children. I think it's an awesome, gracious thing to be able to have children, and it's something I look forward to.


Also - why is adoption and having kids mutually exclusive? I plan on having my own AND adopting.

Yes Yes Yes! I cant wait to be a father. Really cant, I think its one of those life affirming moments that I really want to experience. Finding the partner to achieve this with is the only hard part in the plan. But I think i'll make a good father, and since im going into teaching anyway, I dont mind being around children. But maybe my attitude will change towards that in time eh? :)

Absolutely not.

I do not want to add to the problem of world overpopulation. I do not want to devote nearly all of my precious free time to ensure the proper upbringing of a child (which rules out adoption). I'm not financial wealthy enough to provide a child a proper upbringing and give them the opportunities they deserve. Also I'm genuinely uncomfortable around kids.

I would love to get settle down with someone, but the above views tend to put a damper on nearly everyone I find myself compatible with.

I shall grant myself similar looking tiny clones. And I shall name them to my liking. Possible something like Bob, Or Jan, or Lisa ( Netherlandic dude here, my examples are very average names here.)
And I shall treat them with respect, so that they may once finish my failed task! The one that includes taking over the wooorrrrllldd!!!!
Or help them become succesful in bussiness or something.
Evil me VS normal-ish me, who isn't very evil, more grumpy, and sleepy.
Also, I love babies. They rock. Untill they become 2. then they are brats :D (example = my 2 year old sister sister and 4 year old brother, who were awesome once, but nagging now)
Also, The English system of baby to adult is was better, we have like 2 more steps! They are all very confusing.

Right now? HELL NO.

In the future? Not sure. Maybe when I find a place of my own, get a steady paycheck, and of course someone to procreate with.
