Do you want children one day?

Feel_Good_inc. · 14-05-2011, 05:04 PM

I think I do. One day. I'd like to be a father. At least one child. Somehow I can imagine a daughter more than a son.

All that, of course, depends whether or not I can overcome my lack of social abilities long enough to meet someone.

I would love to have children one day. I guess I see it through rose-tinted glasses a bit - imagining baking cookies and going for walks in the Autumn leaves and painting with poster paints on big sheets of paper, rather than the tantrums, and the anxieties of the teen years. But then, having kids should be about lots of fun and learning, too!

What do you see your life as being like with a child, Adam? Just curious. I hope that you do meet someone, I think you'd be a great partner/father.

I think I've got a little rose tint too. I can imagine being close to my kid then I am to my parents. though I can also picture difficulty around the teen years.
I'd encourage my child to try anything they'd want to try and peruse anything they'd want so they can find out what they like and be what they'd love to be.
All legal experiences of course.

I'd just want any child of mine to be happy, so they don't have to know, or experience stuff like depression or SH. But if such times did arrive I'd hope I'd be able to talk to them, and they to me, a lot easier than I can talk to my family, because they could know I have experienced it and can understand.

that's pretty much exactly what I was about to write in answer so why use my own words

I don't want kids, but when I'm older, as in 50's, I would maybe like to foster, but I don't know.

Tig · 14-05-2011, 06:24 PM

Definitely want kids.

Billy! · 14-05-2011, 06:25 PM

Yeah :) I want to kids, although I'm happy for me to have one and my girlfriend to have one. :)

10001110 · 14-05-2011, 06:28 PM

YES. I love children. I want them, so much.
I don't know if I'll ever have kids though... Mental health and all, I don't want to pass that down.

Victim+Of+Hate · 14-05-2011, 06:38 PM

I want to foster, as apposed to my own children<3

monket · 14-05-2011, 06:39 PM

Nope! I'm way too irresponsible for kids. I'll stick with having a cat, at least he takes care of himself most of the time.

fairylights · 14-05-2011, 06:39 PM

yea but in another 9 years or so

Keyboard Warrior · 14-05-2011, 06:40 PM

I want at least one child :)

Left Phalange · 14-05-2011, 06:44 PM

Definitely. I've always wanted to be a parent (more than I've actually wanted a career) and I'd like three, although for there to be two or three years in between them. And I hope to god I don't have twins or triplets! xD

I've had names picked out since I was like 14 or something stupid and my boyfriend's nan has already told me when we have kids (yes, when, not if O_O), that I MUST have a girl because there are far too many boys in the family. So fingers crossed. xD

Gone. · 14-05-2011, 07:37 PM

Yes, definitely. It'd be terrifying but it's always been something that I've wanted to happen. Not right now, in a few years, but yes.

one_step_closer · 14-05-2011, 07:38 PM

Yes, but i'm scared of the process of having them! I'm also worried that my health problems would affect them.

Erica. · 14-05-2011, 07:39 PM

at this point, I don't want kids. But that might change one day.

Lou Lou · 14-05-2011, 07:40 PM

I already have one lol but I definitely want more! At least one, if not two :D My only ambition in life is to have a family. Technically I have one, albeit just me and my son, but more children and a partner would be wonderful

Stellata · 14-05-2011, 07:43 PM

I'd LIKE to. But it would be too much for me still. And I'm 41. So.

This.
And also, I just don't like kids!

DrWatson · 14-05-2011, 07:57 PM

I'd love to have a child one day :') call me weird, but since I've begun to get better, I've got all mumsy :/ Obviously I don't want one yet (being 14 and all...) but if I found another woman who loved me and wanted kids too, I'd definitely try IVF/adopt :) This is typical me - when I was in denial about being gay I didn't want children - now they're all cute and ickle and lovely :') My life is one massive case of sod's law :P
