How many of you girls want to have kids?

Topic. Just want to get an idea. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind spreading my genetics around, but I don't want to get pregnant, ever. >_<

I have always wanted to be a mother. I would like 2 kids, one boy and one girl preferably.

I don't know I could make a good mother. I like children, and have quite a lot of ideas on raising them, but I do not like the world I would be bringing a child into, and also, not sure how I would deal with the crying and shrieking they tend to be prone to.

I am not sure because some parts of parenting sound joyful and others do not. Also I might not make a great mother because of the way that I act.

I've always wanted a little boy. His name shall be Elijah. I'm just terrified of the actual process of having the kid and I'm scared my husband would leave me...

I've always wanted lots of kids. I doubt I will ever have any though.

God no.

nope i don't want kids.


oh, oops. well, now i guess it's too late.


just kidding, i am ecstatic that i have my daughter (now 16). but i sure as heck didn't want any to start with!

No.

When I was young and dreamed about having a family, I always wanted to have three kids. Two kids of my own (male) and one adopted (male also). Now that I am living in the real world, I have one kid (daughter), and I do not want anymore. Having a kid is not easy, specially if your kid has AS. It consumes a lot of resources, and requires time and patience. I would not change a thing. I love my daughter and she has helped me grow in so many levels, but I do not feel physically, psychologically or economically fit to have more kids.

You beat me to it! I was going to write: "It's not so much a matter of 'want', it's now a matter of 'did'."

It's very difficult to me to be a mother (mostly because I obsess over it and am very aware of my shortcomings), but it's extremely rewarding too. I'm very lucky to be in a good position, financially and maturity-wise.

P.S. it's hilarious to me that on dating sites I have to specify, "Wants children" or "Does not want children". There is no option for "Wants the children she already has, but is *done*, otherwise".

i know *exactly* what you mean - i have seen that on dating sites in my internet travels! "Does not want children" implies that you would rather not be saddled with the kidlets you already created.

i find it insanely difficult too. i would not have been effective as a single parent - having the supoport of a spouse kept me from failing as much as i would have otherwise. many women and men are able to do it alone, but i could not have done it very well.

God no. But I guess it's too early to decide, I could always change my mind (I hope I don't, though!).

Yes, two preferably.

I think I would like to have two or three kids later in life. Right now I'm not ready to be responsible for anyone else, and I don't want kids until I think I'm selfless enough. If I do ever have kids, I definitely, definitely want to adopt.
