Do you want children? Why? What age? Why? How many? Why? Names? Why?

Do you want children? Why? What age? Why? How many? Why? Names? Why?Perhaps when I'm older yeah. Mainly because life will be a little bit interesting and fun with them lol. Depends. 1. Because I don't want too many. Let her decide.

[Special]

no children

also how can you choose the age of your children which was one of the questions?

[Deak]

I've not really thought about it that much, but i would like 1 or 2 kids (1 boy 1 girl)... not sure on names tho

[immense]

What age do you want children I meant! Although, with 80% of the forum being homos then the age of children shoulda been one of the qs! I want a boy and a girl when I'm about 28 :)

i always thought i'd never want any
cause i love my freedom
but lately i do :l

[lovethewayyoulie]

I do want children, because I lived in a family with a sister, and I have always wrote stories about children, I don't know why, but the Mum always ends up getting pregnant, but I pictured the Mum as me in some respect, but not having as many as she did.
I would love 2 of each, that way they both have a play mate that is of the same gender. Also, the names I like is preferably something like Joe for a boy, but haven't really thought about it for a girl.
Then again, I've always been more reluctant to have a boy in some respect because I read a lot of real life magazines, and sometimes Mother's get raped by their child which puts me off a bit.
But with girls, I would love to shop with them, even thought I am not much of a shopper. And I wish to take them on days off for a wim.
However, I'd have children at a suitable age, I know if someone had their way I would be a teenage Mum which I do not want whatsoever, my parents made it clear that I would have to go on the pill, which I don't fancy doing but I know I'm not ready for sex, also, they made me reluctant to have sex at an early age tbh. So quite old like 25, my Mum had me at 35, so I don't want to wait that long.

at the moment i don't think i will ever want children but i'd never say never. if i did then probably just one or two, two because it'd be nice for them to have a sibling but for any other reason just one. ana for a girl and adrien for a boy

[Mathew]

I don't know really; Materialism seems to be an enticing option in this day and age. Meh. It's not something I enjoy thinking about at present in case it never happens :P

[Roxy]

Yeah i do, i couldn't imagine my life without a family and i'd have loved it if i'd had more brothers (only have one). preferably, i'd want 2 boys and 1 girl although if i ended up having more i wouldn't mind at all and would happily never work / give up work if i needed to in order to raise a family.

[Conservative,]

2 kids.

Daughter older one. Called Scarlett Hannah Emily river (surname)

Son (2 years younger) called KJ Robert Maamin Jacob Thomas (Surname)

I'd love to have a son to teach sports to and to make him support Liverpool and so I could relate to him. But I'd love a daughter because I have no sisters and I don't get exposed to girls much due to going to an all boys school and I'd love to be the protective father who kills any guy that touches his daughter and see her grow up into a beautiful young woman.

But most importantly there are only 4 people in the country who can continue with my surname. Me, my 2 brothers and our cousin. Therefore I feel it necessary as i don't want to see my family name die out.

[Eoin247]

I'm not going to elaborate to much here otherwise im going to end up writing a huge column of uninteresting text.

I'd want a girl and a boy:)

[SirTezza]

Even at my age I'm not really thinking about kids.

Give it 3 years or so until I'm in my mid-twenties, then I might give it more thought :D

I do want kids at some point though. 1 boy and 1 girl preferably. :D

[Jamesy]

I can't imagine myself with children, so no I don't think I want them (this may change of course :P).

[HotelUser]

I would want children, but only with the right girl.

[Casanova]

I don't want children. I do believe I could support a child and offer it a good life, but I still don't think it's what I want.
When I'm honest with myself I do believe that in my life i'd prefer that I didn't have them, plus being gay I don't think it's something I should do. Gays would be amazing parents but I don't quite agree with gay adoption because I think its not quite proved the effects on the child.

I think bullying for a gay adoptee would be tough.

Perhaps when I'm older. I was 3 kids

[Shar]

I'd love to have children, I don't mind when (preferably after I'm done with education), I want two or three, because I love kids and would like to have a family one day.

[,Lexiilu]

I wouldn't mind having kids one day, although I gotta admit, I'm pretty damn scared of the pain!
I wouldn't really prefer more than 2, but as long as I have less than 4 then it's alright I suppose :) I don't want a huge family for myself.
I really don't want to be having kids after 30, I think that by the time they grow up you'd be too old to really understand, and that gives them a lot less life with you. And then I'd hope not to have any before 18! :O Some of my favorite names are Declan, Jace or Jacen, Landon and Cade for boys. I also like Callie, Charlotte, Bree or Brielle, Leighanne, Roxanna and Renee for girls (I like a lot of girls names!) Right now my first picks would probably be Declan Jace for a boy and then Charlotte Renee or Roxanna Leigh for a girl :) but my opinions always change so that'll be different soon enough!

[Conservative,]

Yeah I think between 21 and 30 is the prime time for having kids. My mum was 33 when she had me and idk... I just feel she's too old to interact with now...whereas my dad was 27 and just those few years mean he understands me more and he was still quite young throughout my childhood.

I'm intending to marry at 24/25 and then have 1 kid the same year, then another 2 years later. :)

I do want children, because I lived in a family with a sister.

What the hell?

Anyway, i'm not sure. I think a lot of people have children for the wrong reasons tbh. If you're going to be a **** parent then don't bother.

that is ridiculous, what makes anyone too old to understand. it doesn't make you any less of a parent no matter your age :S
& it doesn't give you "less life" your parents can die at any age no matter how young they have you. if they make it to 70 years old (which is not uncommon :S) you'll be 40, that's enough time for being a parent & even a grandparent. so i don't get it.

It's cooler to have young parents ;] lol.

Yer i do, because im a traditional kind of guy, in the sense that i'd like just a normal house, a wife and kids. Age i havent really thought about, but definitely not early 20s. I'd say about 2, wouldnt want just 1 since they'd be alone and anymore than that seems like a lot to manage. Never really thought about names but i do like the name "Noah" (in a non religious way though >;l).

[Alexx..]

I don't want kids, i know i'm only 17 but I don't want them at all. I have no patience and i'm just rubbish with kids, I have two nephews and that's good enough for me. The only way i'd have any is if I adopted one that wasn't a baby.

[luce]

earliest about 26-28 maybe earlier. i want 1 or maybe 2 i want a girl then a boy i want original names but not crazy ones like "Magenta" or something like that. But i would want them in a marriage because the whole single mum thing doesn't work for me :)!

maybe it's personal preference but I wouldn't want my kids to have an old mother growing up. I mean think about it, the farther off from them you are in age the less you'll be able to relate (usually) to them and what they want to do etc because you've lived so much longer and have so many more years to remember. My mom had my brother at 17 and myself at 22 and she's really good to us despite her lack of financial 'stability'. I'm allowed to go a lot of places and do a lot of things that I want to do. I know friends who have parents in their late 40s and 50s who aren't allowed to do anything or have fun at all, they can't do what they want and their parents are extremely controlling. It could just be style of parenting but honestly I don't really think it is. This all can obviously work in the opposite favor and they could restrict you from doing everything because they think you're going to go have sex and smoke and get drunk, but I've never had that happen. I just don't think it would be very fun to be like 15 and say "oh yeah, my parents are 50." what happens when you're 30 and they're 75 and close to dying? I really appreciated having a lot of time with my GREAT grandparents, and I can't imagine having a life with old immobile grandparents. They were able to do everything with me that I wanted since they were only 40/50 when I was born. I think all kids should get to meet as many family members as possible, and if they're born while you're in your 20's they'll have a better chance of meeting them.
