    Hello, this is one of my first threads I've made!

    Personally, I would love to have kids, probably when I'm in my late 20s or early 30s. I feel like for some reason if I don't have kids, I'll regret it later in life.

    So, do you ever see yourself having children? Why or why not?

    No, but I'm 18 and my opinions can change.

    Who knows.

    I read somewhere that the cost of raising one child from birth to age 18 in the U.S. is about 250,000. So, I honestly don't think I would want any.

    Well I would like to explore the option when I'm older, but my boyfriend doesn't seem all too interested so I'm figuring that we'll just explore the option like 5 or 6 years down the line ( assuming we're still together ) and see what happens...

    though obviously we can't exactly have kids so it'd be more an adoption type dealio x3

    I can come from opposite perspective, I have a beautiful little girl. But given everything, that has lead up to me coming out, I wonder if it's right me being here... My wife whilst saying she's ok with it, has been far more you know since... Just don't know

    I think I have too much of an all-or-nothing approach to things. If every human alive can't be one of my offspring then what's the point?

    Nah, not really. Of course, if my significant other was really into the idea, i'd reevaluate my thoughts on the subject :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    At this point in my life, no, it's hard to picture myself with children. But it's even hard to picture myself in a relationship...

    Nope! There's a rather slim chance I'd adopt, and no way I'd want to get pregnant.
    I mean, aside from outgrowing all your clothes, weird cravings, enduring all that pain to actually have the kid, and then the lifetime of expenses and attention...
    I don't think a lot of the straight people really think it through, and just give into peer pressure. "because everyone else is doing it"

    The world is overpopulated anyways. Glad to be a dead end on my "family tree" :thumbsup:

    I would not want to get pregnant, that's for sure. Would I adopt? Maybe.
    I have a mostly neutral perspective on whether or not I'd want kids, but most likely not. If my future partner wanted kids, I would think about it though.

    I never even thought about getting pregnant to be honest! I also wouldn't want to be pregnant, that I definitely know! I would adopt if I had kids.

    I'm horrible with kids. I love kids, but please don't leave me alone with them. ;-;

    I'd like to be a parent one day, though. It depends on whether or not I'll find a male waifu.

    On that count once you have your own, if you love then you become good. You have too lol

    They steal your heart, and from then on in its a losing battle. Till you have a child of your own you cannot understand, that's not a denigration, just a biological fact. I'm not saying it matters if they are of your blood, it's the fact they see you as mummy or daddie. It takes but that look of uttter love and trust
