Having Children

[RepQuest]

Having Children and raising the next generation to be better than us is the ultimate goal of life.
sadly most of the developed countries that should be making better children are the future are deciding to not have children and thus reducing the populations while planned parenthood and stuff like that will never happen in third world countries like india.

This is what marks the beginning of the decline of successful, wealthy civilizations, and it's a cycle that has repeated itself since the dawn of civilization. In short,

 

[Hi I Am From Page 6]

I like kids. I teach music for a living, and I'd have a damn hard time if I disliked children.

However, I don't want any of my own.
For a start, I can barely run my own life, let alone be responsible for another person's.
My ability to connect emotionally to other people is fucked. I'm barely capable of meeting the emotional needs of a goldfish.
My tolerance for social contact is ridiculously low (as in, I go for months at a time without seeing my closest friend and that's fine by me) .
I really, really like spare time,money, privacy, and sleep.
I've been certain about not wanting kids since I was 9. I'll be 32 next month and I'm still getting the "you'll change your mind" line, and it's getting harder and harder to respond civilly to it.
I find it disturbing when people think that my life must be empty without kids, because their lives must suck pretty badly if the only thing saving them from emptiness is having to take care of a kid, and because I think there's something deeply wrong about relying on anyone to give your life meaning, let alone a child.

I would like a kid someday, but you're certainly right. If your life is nothing without one, it must be a pretty shallow one.

I'm genetically fucked to say it bluntly, so I'll probably adopt one day after I'm done with my study and found a stable source of income.

 

[AN/ALR56]

I want a kid and to teach him things my parents never did and actually help him overcome my failures and be a better person.
Also,I'm terrified of dying alone,I want to die of old age,in a bed,in a farm or rural home,surrounded by family.
I also love children.

 

[autisticdragonkin]

I want to have children rationally because I want to pass on my genes but also irrationally since I want to be a good father who teaches his sons to identify as themselves rather than simply as males (negatively or positively)

 

[Hanamura]

I might adopt a kid one day. I can't have one of my own biologically, and frankly I wouldn't want a bio kid anyway, especially since I could help out some poor kid in the world who wants to be adopted into a nice home. I think I might go with a pre-teen/teen though, the ones who are less adoptable than babies or toddlers. But that's if I ever get financially stable and find a nice girl or guy to settle down with.

 

[Karen Riley]

I've personally never wanted to have children my entire life. It's selfish because my sister has a daughter and I love her so it's not even that I don't like children, it's just that honestly I think I like being by myself so much.

Having a child is something you have to be fully committed to obviously, you need to spend all your time with them, you need to earn money to spend on them, you have to devote yourself to them. I've always felt like the minute you have a child it stops being about improving your own life. And everything you do becomes about improving theirs.

I don't think I'll ever be at a stage I can look past that, I'm into my twenties now and despite all these years of people saying "oh you'll change your mind when you're older and see all your frienda having children, trust me," nothing has changed my mind. I suppose some people are just born maternal and others aren't.

I've got two kids. Imagine having two small, easily manipulable minions that you can use to cause astonishing amounts of chaos and disorder. My practical jokes have taken on a new dimension because I have a person who fits on the top shelf of the wardrobe whilst wearing a tiny clown costume or will happily crawl under a coffee table and wait silently for the right ankle to bite. Not to mention the fact that I don't ever have to fetch anything from the fridge.

Me and my SO talked about it at length, and although we both want to have children, we concluded that now is not the moment.
We are too young, still establishing ourselves financially and professionally and have too many personal issues we need to address for us to be decent parents. For now we limit ourselves to keep my sister's baby from time to time.

 

[DisapprovingCorgi]

I have three. Two grown (thank God) and one who is a few years out of toddlerhood (Thank Godx2). I had my two older ones when I was ridiculously young. I look at my oldest and it just amazes me that I was her age and already a mother of two. She's still very much a kid and has chosen to be childfree, which is fine by me, Mr. Acorn and I aren't the "gimme grandchildren" types. She's given us grandcats (much to the chagrin of my dogs) and she's happy, that's all I ever really wanted for my kids, to be satisfied with who they are, accept their choices in life and to never make the same mistakes twice. The two oldest turned out really good, albeit a little spoiled, I can only hope that we do as good a job with our youngest as we did with them. The world is a fucked up place and if I had known then what I know now, I would have done things a bit different although, If I had to do it all over again, I'd still have them because all I wanted was to be a mother and raise them better than I was raised.

It's all a choice and nobody should force anyone into having kids. Not parents, not partners, not society. And at the same token, nobody should shame anyone if they want to have kids.

Naw nigga. I can have the kids it’s the receptacle of said “Nut” that has some problems. Long story short oversizrd birthmark at birth and now might have weird full on Doom Spawn. So as much as we might want kids we don’t want to start the Alex Jones Interdimensional baby rape demons invasion.

That or become a thread on community watch.

Damn. I'd still do it, demons or no.

When I was young enough to have kids, I was mentally too much of a mess to have them--and I knew it. I'd probably be a great parent now, and I've got the money and stability to give a kid a decent life, but I'm just too fucking old to do it.

I've also never had any desire to be a parent. I wasn't against it, and I think that if I'd ever been stuck with a kid I would have at least tried, in my own stumbling way, to do right by them, because kids deserve that. I'm not one of those childfree people who hates kids; I'm generally inclined to like them, and want the best for them. But I never felt so much as a twinge of desire to get pregnant; never felt much of anything at the sight of babies; never dreamed of what life would be like as somebody's mom.

So the years went past, and having kids never happened, and I feel no regret about that. I look at my siblings, both of whom had kids late and now have young children, and they're really happy they did--far happier than they expected to be. I can understand that yes, they are privy to a whole set of feelings and an entire world of adult experience that I'm not, but I still don't feel like I'm missing out, or that I missed my chance, or that I should have done any different. So now I get to be the Crazy Old Auntie who paints her house in weird colors and has all the kitties, and we're all good with that.

To create life is to create a death. With an enormous population of children living and dying in crisis, creating more people is reprehensible.


There is NO selfless reason to procreate.

 

[BerriesArnold]

I feel indifferent towards children. If people want to have them, then cool. I'm not going to judge others for what makes them happy. Godspeed and enjoy the family fun times.
Personally, I don't want kids. But I think I'd be a good parent if the circumstance comes to it? So if there are any prospects of children it'll most likely be adoption. Just because they don't have my blood running through their veins, it wouldn't make them any less my child.

 

[An Anime Gal]

If I'm going to be a mother, then I'm going to adopt the kid. In the case of unexpected pregnancy, I'll get an abortion as soon as possible.

Thanks for the offer, though.
