I don't want children either, too much responsibility and I'm not sure I could do a good job.

Yes, I definitely want children someday. As far as numbers go, I'm thinking 3-5.

No, I don't want to have children. I'm childfree. This is how I've always been, and I feel like it is unrelated to my autism, but essentially it doesn't matter.

I'm not afraid of the responsibility, I just don't want it. I'm not afraid I would do a bad job as a parent, I just don't want to be one. Nothing, absolutely nothing about it appeals. I don't like children, so what more is there to say about it?

So that's a definite no.

No kids for me..
If I'm sitting next to a child, who drools as they almost always do, I become physically ill. I get nausea, stomach ache .. and if they vomit or something, I allmost throw up ..

Not at this moment. Although I do think about it every once in a while, I also fear that something might go wrong in the pregnancy (my mom miscarried before she had me and my brother) or that I may not be as prepared for it as I might be. If I do choose to have children, however, I'll have just one to start because as an aunt I know how overwhelming it can be sometimes to take care of a child.

Yes I am planning to have one on my own. I have a Reproductive endocrinologist that will artificially inseminate me with donor sperm. I know I will be hard, but I think it is the best route for me. I don't see me ever meeting a man, but I hope to in the future.

I wanted a little back time, I was like biologically 'ready', between my 26-30 year old, but then,(i couldn't achieve to find a partner, ideally for this, i think babaies have to be created by love, or maybe inseminal artificially,but i had no right partner, no job, no no thing,) so the time passed, as i entered few months the 31 i tried to myself to realize that necessity i had, there was not there anymore, like later, you didn't feel like anymore. )just in case you would thought about it again,maybe contemplate a idea to adopt, there's quite quantity of children without, but my having is like was not 'necessary'again (i passed the babie fever(my hormones,my body i think), yes, i experienced it,) i dont knowlike maybe is like if it wasn't necesary anymore, is like my fever of this' just passed,..i don't know,.. well. :)

No. Reasons why:
1. Can't take my medication and be pregnant at the same time.
2. Family history suggests a very unpleasant pregnancy with a minimum 50 pound weight gain.
3. I am disgusted by babies.
4. I fear pain.
5. I can barely take care of myself, much less a child.

and those are the top 5 reasons why I will not have kids.

yes and no. Babies are cute especially when trying to talk and say mama or dada. Seeing them walk is good too. But the crying during the night or crying during church can be sometimes a pain. Then when the kids get older oh joy! The teen years! The talking about. The sneaking out to see the boyfriend or girlfriend. Not saying all teens do this, but some do. The drugs, the underage drinking. But since I have a medical condition having a child would be extremely painful.

I took care of a toddler of a friend of mine, and because of him getting his teeth he was drooling a lot. So his mum asked me if I was disturbed, but I answered her, that since having cats none of these can disturb me anymore. When my malecat has to be paralyzed at the veterinary, he always is stressed when waking up. So best thing would be him sleeping until the medication is away, but instead he is full of panic, disoriented, trembling around, trying to reach his higher hide places and riscing to hurt himself because he cant reach them while he is paralyzed. The only place he is willing to sleep on is upon me, while I hug and comfort him. Traditional, before he does so, he normally pees himself and pukes before, so the smell of him is adorable: A mix of medication, blood from wherever he was operated, drooling, puke and pee for hours upon me....

Its simply something else if it comes from something you love. ^^ It doesnt mean that you are happy about it, but its simply the way it is and you accept it. :)

Yes, though I just fear I'll be a bad mother. I get along really well with kids, but I worry I'll either be too nice and let the kids do whatever they want, or too strict and controlling. I just need a guy who's supportive enough to help me out.

I want children eventually but not while I'm still in College. I want to wait until I've started my career before I settle down and have a family.
