Do you want any children?

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by quietisviolent, Dec 12, 2015.

  1. I identify as genderqueer but I've been thinking a lot about having children (not in a near future though). I don't think I would be able to get pregnant because I would get to much dysphoria of it, but when I'd adopt children I'd probably get sad over the fact that they don't resemble me in looks. I was wondering how other (genderqueer/gender non-conforming) people think about this. Would you want to have any children? Or would you want to adopt them?

    Hello,

    I want kids but I'm not sure they'll allow an agender person to adopt [UK, there's probably some ''all kids need a mum or a dad'' comments out there]. If I have enough money, I might get a surrogate, or if I have a girlfriend, she might.

    Ignoring the fact that children are annoying and expensive, I'm not sure I'd like to be shackled with the responsibility of looking after one, and being blamed if it dies or becomes a drug addict.

    i dislike younger children they are absolutely irritating and i can't be bothered with them. I would probably adopt an older child - an orphan perhaps - from a poorer country. Fostering would be an option for me too. Not having a biological child wouldn't really bother me.

    No. With very few exceptions, I find small children to be annoying and want nothing to do with them.

    I think I was around 12 when I told my family I would never have kids. Had I not turned out to be gay, I would likely have had myself surgically sterilized to make sure there was no possibility of ever producing a kid.

    So, another great thing about being gay: it saved me the cost and pain of surgery(!)

    I really want children. I've lived quite a messy life so far... I would like it to have somewhere I could call home and someone to care for. I don't know how soon I want children... I'm a bit unstable emotionally and so on, and I have some work to do on that. Also, I want to help out and make the world a better place.
    But after that... yes, I want to have kids.

    I am not genderqueer, but YES! I hope to start my own kids-dogs-husband-family some day. And my parents really want grandchildren. The pressure is on! :lol:
    I'm torn by the whole adoption vs. biological children thing though. Either way, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

    I used to think I wanted kids, but these days I've kind of realised that...nah. I certainly wouldn't want to do the whole pregnancy thing, and I don't think raising a child 24/7 is something I'm up for.

    Being the Cool Relative to all my other friends' children, though? Heck yeah. I'm all for making a positive impact on a small human's life. Just...not one I gave birth to or have to live with and have the responsibility of successfully bringing up, haha.

    Im just gonna be honest. I feel that im more for adoption than having my own. Even then, there are far better people than myself to raise them. Also, in today's world, i would most likely feel very selfish if i had my own kids, because the world they are to have passed to them, will probably be even worse than before.

    I love little kids so much, but I don't think I would make a good parent at all.

    Maybe; I may adopt (you get better benefits and support if you adopt than make on where I live). I'm very selective who I love though, friends, family, anything it takes a long time to love anyone so that could be a problem with kids who need unconditional love that I may not be able to give.
