Do you have/will you get kids?

[Lady Dragonheart]

I have four children, all mine. All on different forms of contraceptives, including the dreaded, now illegal, Norplant (which permanently damaged a large portion of my nervous system when they had to forcibly sever it from my arm, the most pain experience in my life - way worse than giving birth four times, no less...). After that, I ended up getting my tubes tied (which resulted in collateral damage ), so that I can absolutely have no more children.

[God Save The King]

Had a vsec at 20. One of the best things I've ever done.

Agreed, I just did mine a few months ago.

[NoRest4Wicked]

Married with two kids, living the dream.

[Skulltaker]

Married with three, my oldest recently scared me by telling me that he 'might have accidently gotten his girlfriend pregnant.' (he didn't.) Seeing how I'm in medicine and made very sure my kids know everything about protection we had a somawhat lengthy and heated discussion as to how he could have 'gotten her pregnant by accident.' So yeah.

[Grimbold21]

I'm married and don't want kids. My wife desperately wants them.

It might lead to us getting divorced...we'll see.

Isn't that something you usually discuss and settle before officially settleing down?

[Regalbeast]

Sure, and we did. But we got married almost 6 years ago and people, circumstances, and outlooks change.

[Cerilis]

I want to adopt some one day.

[Donald Hellscream]

I don't have any that I know of but I do want kids at some point.

[Fencers]

I have kids- two, boy and girl.

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Everything.

[Belize]

Might pick some up at the store at some point.

Having kids? Yeah, no thanks. Getting married is already a death sentence to your freedom/friends and potentially your liquidity/assets. Plus, there's already enough people on this planet. Ask yourself one question, do you feel lucky? Because 5-10 marriages end in divorce.

And believe me: that bitch will take everything that's rightfully yours.

[May90]

Not sure, but I'm fine either way. If I ever marry someone who wants kids, I'll be happy to make/adopt them. Otherwise, I will enjoy freedom, I guess!

[Malacrass]

No, don't intend to.

The problem is I'm heading into my 30's and the baby question starts popping up more and more...

If there would only be a way to skip parenthood and jump right into grandparenthood. Being a grandparent must be great, all the good and adorable moments without all the negative parts.

[Felya]

Once the new pain job dries on the ice cream truck...

No... too selfish... no share!!!

You have a seeeriously wrong view of the women.

[Deleted]

Not married, no kids - not that I'm against the idea, it's just that I prefer my current lifestyle with casual relationships, and don't see good enough incentives to change

I find the attitude of a lot of men on here sad, but understandable

Modern society has spent the last few decades demonising men, mocking fathers, and doing other things that have largely turned men off from having stable, productive families

Longer term, this isn't good for society but hey, as long as we're all having fun

[Drekker17]

No I don't have any kids. I have no interest currently. I wouldn't say absolutely no. I probably don't have good genes anyway and I don't want to be pregnant, maybe by the time I care they'll have those fake uterus things.

[Stelio Kontos]

I do want kids when I find a woman to marry. Not interested in marrying an American or Western woman for the most part, unless she comes from a more traditional background. I'll probably marry a woman from my area of the world when the time comes. 34 now, and each season makes me lean more towards settling down. But I'm not quite there yet.

Holy shit someone had a bad relationship.. Hope you work your shit out man that's a terribly unhealthy view of women/marriage.

OT: I don't have kids but I do want them, so does my gf. We want at least one before we're 30 and we're 24/23 now, so we've got a few years to work on our finances and planning for the future.

I never liked kids when I was younger, hated them even, but they've grown on me and I'm excited to have my own.

[Deleted]

I discussed it with my girlfriend. It basically means she would have to stay home to take of them since I work about 60+ hours a week.

Well see
