Do you want to have children?

No. Never. I have my reasons.

No. I hate kids.

I like babies, but the sooner they start talking, the sooner they start talking back.

Then the sooner you should start hitting them for talking back. Seriously some kids need to be hit, one of my friends doesn't discipline his son properly, were it my place to discipline such a child he would be, but it isn't so I don't bother. I do however tell him no on a regular basis which it seems he isn't told often enough because he always cries when I do so.

In America we're not allowed to disciple kids anymore otherwise your "abusing them". I remember when I acted up I could be sent to bed without supper (after having my ass busted) and when I was a teenager they passed a law that you could do only one or the other. Now, you can't do either. IF you send the to bed without dinner then your "starving" them and if you spank them your "abusing" them. Its becoming an every increasing problem now since children can't be disciplined by their parents and if the child acts up (say in school) the parents are held liable since they aren't "raising the child properly" and the department of child services can legally came and take you kid away and place you in jail. Its a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario. Thus, why I'm hesitant about having kids and the fact I haven't come across a woman that I would willingly have a child with (Women are crazy here!)

No at the moment no. But I see the urge coming in my late twenties/early thirties.

I'm gonna hit my kids, but only when they act up not when I'm angry. It only takes one slap to the back of the head to shut up a small child. Kids today see that they get away with things because their not allowed to be hit. I don't care what people say one good smack is by far the best mean of discipline.

You can hit kids, just don't leave any bruises =P. With all due seriousness I do not support hitting kids when they don't need to be disciplined. I most definitely support teaching your children discipline, and how to behave properly in society. I think that is something which far too many people in modern society lack.

Exactly Kais teaching your kids to behave is a good thing. I don't like abusive parents and I never will. There is a difference from me who would smack a kid for discipline once from a parent who would hit a kid because their angry, drunk, or both.

Like I said I've been taking notes, that and hitting kids for misbehaving seems like the natural order to me.

definitly want one, maybe 2. a girl would be nice. gotta make her into an anime loving tomboy though. cheerful otaku tomboys are great fun but rare and hard to find.

i have a lifelong dream of winning nobel,retiring,living in the farmhouse by the praire and having 2 sets of twin kids,male of female,and maybe 20 grandchilds.
i'm da (soon-to-be) family man.

Well. I think it's safe to say our species seem to be doing fine over populating the planet.

I used to have that fantasy of being a mom, but now I'm not too sure. I think it would be nice, but I have my reasons for being hesitant.
Ever notice that the older you get the snottier kids seem?

I feel like one of those old people 'when I was your age~' but seriously!
The way I was raised was if I did something bad I'd get a wooden spoon to my ass and yelled at. When I was a preteen and shit I used to think my life was awful and I hated my mom because she was so strict. But the older I got the more of an understanding I got with her and realized the way she raised me benefited me. I'm responsible, level headed, and able to take care of myself. To say the least that's a lot more then MANY people out there.

Now it's like... against the law to hit your kid. What's wrong with a good spanking? You can't negotiate with a 4 year old. You just can't.

I've just seen plenty of people my age resent their parents and grow up rebelling and just stupid when their home life is pretty much average and they should be thankful for what they have. That's what scares me. I'd love my kid with all my heart and do anything to make sure they make it out there in the big world, but I'm afraid that they'd be one of those snotty people who just stab you in the back and not care for all the things you've done for them. It's scary to think your child to resent you and not make it out there.

Plus, with some of the Dr. Phil shows and how those little kids talk to their parents. You better believe I'd beat their ass.

i plan to some where down the line
i guess around 26-32 i'll think about it
of course that is if i m with the right person at the time :D

At the moment, I wouldn't want to have any kids.

But I probably will in the future ~ Just I don't want to have too many. I think it's probably two or three at most. I had to deal with a lot of babysitting when I was younger [Even presently too] and I don't want to do the same thing all over for over 4 kids.

im not quite sure, its one of those grayish decisions for me right now. part of me contemplates what i could be like as a father, part of me debates if i would ever be ready for the responsibility. i cant really expand further... im just not confident enough in myself to raise a child at the moment.

I was reading Yotsubato and it made me want to have children. Then when I visisted Korea last summer I took care of a 3 month old baby for a bit, and I suddenly lost my urge to have a baby.

lol

After my Disneyland trip with 4 rowdy children all under the age of 8 and one 4 month old baby I have voted never to have children.

In fact since I was on my period too, which fucking sucked by the way, I vote to just have the whole damn thing taken out. Then I will never have to deal with this shit ever again.

If I ever have a kid it's going to be adopted and has to be 12 or older.

No infants or toddlers for me bitches.


But just you wait, once that nasty biological clock kicks in I probably won't be able to shut up about having a baby. Dx Somebody do me a favor and punch me in the face if I ever mention it. Knock some sense into me.

i wont hit you but i will definitly bring your statement up if you ever mention it.

Good, then do your best to talk me out of it while you're at it! lol

xD
