funkyslsistah said: Bottom line is if I'm not married, I don't want to have any children. It's probably a selfish decision, but I'm being realistic about what I can handle. If I'm struggling with myself, I don't see how I would be able to deal with raising a child, especially alone. More power to those who do. I just figure that would be my limit. Never really had the desire to have any.
That's not selfish at all, that's being totally realistic. I feel the exact same way that you do. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

JuliePurplehead said: I'm still undecided. I think I'd like to have 1. That's all I could afford and even that's pushing it, to be perfectly honest. My big concern is regret. I don't want to look back and wish I would have done it. I don't think I'd regret having a child.
i feel the same way about everything you said. plus i hate to say it but sometimes i think i don't want to have to be responsible for someone. i am married but i don't have to take care of my husband everyday. know what i mean? at the same time i'm scared that if i don't do it i may regret it later on in life. i only have about 5 years left to decide before it becomes dangerous. | |

Yes, at this time in my life, for the first time ever i WANT them and i actually think i am ready for them, now we will just see what mother nature has in store. If it happens it happens, if it does not happen, i am truly blessed to be loved and share my life with someone that wants to love me forever. | |

I don't want them. I usually never say never since I'm wishy-washy at times, but I'm pretty sure I don't want any. It terrifies me to death to know that I'd be responsible for another life. I have scary thoughts about my own life, let alone another one. Plus, I've just never really been good with kids. I mean, I'm a kid at heart, but as far as communicating with kids, I'm not good with. Don't even make me speak "baby" talk. I sound ridiculous. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

I don't know, to be honest. Maybe. Probably. I know if I ever did have kids I'd want more than one so they wouldn't be an only child. I fully plan on adopting at least one child in a few years when I have my life and finances together better. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

i have two. a boy(3) & a girl(5).
i had them close together so that they would be close and also so that we could get all the nappies & sleepless nights over with asap. we are just starting to get back to doing things like going on holidays, social life etc. some of my friends have just one child & they seem to treat them like a little adult. you would know that they spend the majority of their time around adults. they will prob be fine when they start school & start mixing properly with other kids. i admire anyone who adopts or fosters kids. that must be a really hard thing to do. | |
