Indeed i do. And when i have kids, we'll see if i can maintain the effort to do all things necessary. They are extensive, i havent precisely worked them out yet. Just a general idea.

What would be awesome is if someone played Cannibal Corpse to their kids from an early age so that they learned to be real men. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:



Rap music is lame. If you are a real man you do not listen to it.

I don't want them. It's not that I hate kids (in fact, I like some of them), but I don't think I could handle having someone dependent on me 24 hours a day, especially a baby/small child who yells and screams and makes messes. Maybe I'm a wimp; I don't know. I need "alone time" and independence.

That said, I think I'd make a really good auntie.

If I had kids, even if they were NT they would be fuct up just by having me for their father. I'd be one of those dads that the kids are very very embarrassed to admit to having as a father.

Still, I'd like to pass on my genes. I might donate sperm or be a surrogate father.

How much do you get paid for donating sperm?

I would like two maybe three children sometime in my life. I have always loved being around chldren and seem to have a large amount of paitience with them. I have helped out at the nursary my mother attends and enjoyed looking after them. When I finally get to psychology I want to work with children. :D

I love my b/f and want to have children with him and marry him once we have the capabilities and the chance, but at the moment it's not in the too distant future so I'm just happy being with him when I can. :D

I don't know if I want kids; there are things in my life that I want to accomplish that are not very conductive to childrearing. Maybe when I am in my 60's I'll marry someone young and make children then, but I don't really know. (ego!)

I'll say this..

I like kids, I like to spend some time with kids, younger ones especially. Not too much, but I can see it in my mind.

The problem is I have a strong imagnative world so I tend to want to detach myself from others, which then causes me to lose touch with children and worse, forget to take care of them the right way.

It is more of a concern that I have and that is why I wouldn't be able to have any kids now. I'm still trying to take better control of my own self first so that alone can put the brakes on kids. But then having them could somehow cause me to straighten up pretty quick with my own motivation and some tough but spirited motivation from others.

I do admit it is hard as hell for anyone to raise kids if they really really want to put the effort into it. But for some reason I don't like when some people make it look tougher than it is, nor do I like it when some think it is a piece of cake, only to find out wrong.

Although with my luck preferring a non-NT child, I'd get an Aspie exactly like me who would bend my ear for hours on end, just like I did to my mom. (And still do sometimes.)

First off, I'd make a terrible father. I would never curse a child by being its parent.

Second, I can't stand other people's kids for more than two seconds. The high-pitched squealing and flailing around and random movements are just too much. It's bad enough to have to deal with other's children in public, being stuck with them would be just too much.

I never really wanted children, but after I met my husband, who said he did not want to be with me if I didn't want children, and because he is such a great person, I really wanted to have a family with him. I have an almost 1 year old daughter, and although I think a lot about how nice it would be to not have a child (mostly when she wakes up at 3 in the morning), but I just love her so much and I love watching her learn and grow, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Plus, it is very romantic to me to watch my husband hold our daughter and rock her to sleep and care for her.

We are probably only going to have one child though.

Tallgirl.

I don't have a maternal bone in my body.

I like to play games with children, but sometimes they just annoy me, and i'm not a woman that caring for babies comes naturally to.

It wouldn't be fair on the kid, really.

I'll devote my time to animals and other people's kids.. then i can go and escape from them.
