Would you go for a baby?

[liquid]

no way.

[Neversoft]

No, I would not.

Why, do you think that when kids get to 3 or whatever it's an easy ride? Not really, if anything it gets harder 'cos kids start nurseries and stuff meaning that although you get rid of them through the day, you still need to arrange for people to pick them up/drop off, help them with work/reading after a day's work yourself, pay for them to go and everything.

My mums a childminder and lots of kids' parents think that as soon as their kids are at nursery and grow up it gets easier but actually it's probably the same. Then when they get to 10+ they have all other worries of going to high school, exams and all of that.

i really hate it when people say that. as if a baby would ruin your life/take over your life. well no? they don't. yeah sure they take up a lot of time, but everyone knows that, for the first few months or whatever it would be exhausting, but when you've got past that and got used to the idea it won't be like that.

It's an interesting subject though, my 15 year old step-cousin is pregnant by her 17 year old boyfriend and she thinks its all gonner be good and that as soon as the babies born shes gonner go straight to college and train to be a nurse which is highly unlikely because i) I don't think colleges are crying out for 15 year old with kids at the moment and ii) the fact she can't pay for childcare means she is going to have to stay at home.

I think people who have kids at that age are pretty immature, especially my step cousins whos MSN name is '(*)110 days to go(*)' as if it's a countdown to christmas or something. I know mistakes happen but in the modern world there's enough contraception both before and after sex available that mistakes can be rectified.

And to answer the thread title; No, I wouldn't dream of it both now and in later life. (With my mum been a childminder I've grown up around crying babies and I'd prefer my adult life to not involve any )

[Pelfe]

I'd rather not tbh...
Its alot to handle, if you do, there goes your hard work and grades. =]
I think I'll wait ;D

[Ostinato]

Having children is the last thing on my mind at the moment! ]

I like my life the way it is the now, and plan to enjoy myself whilst I'm young and make the most of life rather than get tied down with kids, when I know for a fact that I'm not mature enough, and definetley not ready to bring up and look after another person in this world.

I like just having fun at my age, and hope to do so for a long time. I think I'll know when the time is right to settle down and have kids, but I don't plan on it being until I'm around 30! Hehe

[uh huh her]

no. but if i was to get pregnant at that age, i wouldn't get an abortion.
i'd rather have a child when im about 25+.

[laurenx]

No way. i think its too young, at that time of age you go to clubs and parties and stuff, you just have fun really.

oh i can defo see where you are coming from, i was just making a point, babies don't ruin lives, if anything they complete them.

[Nightrose]

I was talking about this with a older male mate of mine as he asked me and i said i would like children somewehere in my 20s so like 24+ plus,

15 to 19 is way to young tbh and not many peopleare mature enough to bring up a family

[Tash.]

Me personally no, but then I don't ever want them.
