Do you want kids of your own?

Post Reply New Topic

Ya know, it's funny you say that , Hale Bopp. I 'm the same way. Other people's babies look, well....ugly to me, usually. That's horrible to admit! I have very little patience, interest, or nurturing instinct towards children or babies as a rule.

But I like mine just fine!! !! !

I am definitely not the maternal sort.....I don't think I had ever even held or touched a newborn until I had one...and yet I get very protective and nurturing towards my own.

That's a very hypothetical question. I guess, if I ever had a girlfriend for a long time and we got married, the question would arise. The possibility that these preconditions will ever happen makes my preference null.

Voted no. Didn't like kids when I was one and I still don't. Feel estranged from other humans, they're family-oriented & I'm uninterested in the whole people-making business.
Feel it's expected of me to be a typical female, I have the opposite reactions instead. Disgust, revulsion, not "oh isn't that cute" or instinct to protect children-just avoid them.
Pressure to not offend or hurt feelings or invite attack, by writing this, bc. of my opinion.

I voted no. I don't connect with people very well, and after a lifetime of bullying, being around children all day would bring back bad memories. Plus, kids are noisy and require constant contact. I work better with things and ideas rather than people.

Posted 2 months ago, and forget to make a selection.

I selected unsure because as I said before, I like kids and feel to let them live a good childhood. Hence, letting me experience some of what I probably missed out on when I was young.

But I still feel I need to be on my own and tend to lose concentration, which would probably be at the wrong time. So that is where I see the dilemma factor.

I'm undecided on the issue, but given my young age, that's to be expected. I've got a lot of lifespan left to decide.

i think that i would be a very bad parent, my mum was extremly ocd and i think her infulance is a large part of my germ paranoia. i am just to nurotic to rase children.

AS dos not all ways scip my dad is defently AS as is his brother and my cousin on that side

I made the decision at 17 that I did not want children and that has not changed 24 years later.

I'm sure there could be all manner of fancy psychological theories as to why this is so, but for me it is purely a matter of economics and personal preference. I can barely give myself a lifestyle with any dignity, so I somehow doubt that I could provide one for a family.

Having come from a Mix 'n' Match type of family growing up on state benefits, it became abundantly clear that I could never impose that life sentence onto anyone else. To be a good parent usually requires that you have on balance, had a reasonably good childhood.
