I thought I Wanted kids...
Then I started to get serious with a guy who has two kids, who I've yet to meet because of circumstances.

And this guy, can't have any more kids...
But if I wanted to kids, it'd be with him.

So I'm resigned to not have kids, and frankly, I don't know if I even want to be with anyone.

I want to just pack up my bags and get out of here.

I want kids I just don't have any money to right now. But I want to have one soon because I'll be 25 this year.

Wow that's a deep question Kookies. Do you want kiddies?
I've always thought i'd never want kids but as i get older i sometimes feel like i might want one some day.
A lot of things put me off though i mean this world aint getting any better. I went through a lot of shit at school and i wouldn't want to put another human being through that let alone my own child. Plus all of the environmental issues and econemy issues and the fact that there are way too many people clogging this planet up as it is! If i did decide to have kids, i'd definately consider adoption, poor unwanted kiddies!

But there's also this part of me that wants to know what it's like to have that mother - child bond. You always hear people say it's the strongest love you will ever experience, you'd give your life for them without even a thought! I want to experience those feelings but i dunno if i'm capable of rearing children as i have a mental age of 12 XD Plus i'm probably too selfish, i like my luxuries! Hehe.

My mum makes me feel guilty for not wanting them, she's desperate for grandchildren and my older sis aint having any and my younger brother... well haha i can't ever see him getting a girlfriend so i feel like it's down to me to produce these grandchildren to please my mum... crazy aint it!

I put that I'm unsure. Right now, I definitely don't want them now or any time in the foreseeable future, and I doubt that I'll ever want them. But I guess it's hard to say where my feelings will be in 5 to 10 years, so I don't want to say "no, never"

Well, all the options I put down can mean "having" a child as in giving birth, or "having" a child as in adopting. :)

I just realized I kind of put the wrong answer, I put "EW BABIES YUK" But they're kind of okay as babies. Once they can walk and talk though the cuteness is over.

Maybe like ONE kid WAY down the road. But with the way society is now and how it's going I'm scared about the influences it'd have on my kid. Like they'd turn out to be a complete freaking brat.

Eh. I won't be able to have kids because of health complications. Chances are I'll adopt one day, though.
