Do you want children?

[dbgtz]

Yes, because I want a part of me to keep going. At the end of the day though, I won't cry if I never have any.

[geo]

right no i'll say no. i think about it and i just assume i'd be a bad mum

[Zak]

Yep. Two girls

[karter]

Yep I want 2 girls, most preferably twins

[Zelda]

Absolutely not biologically as I hate little kids and babies (and might end up with a guy not a woman anyway no idea what I would rather live with for my life though).

I not sure whether or not I would adopt once they've grown up a bit or not though, though I think i'd rather just be living free in all honesty so probably still not.

[Cerys]

Noooo. I don't think the world could take another mini-Cerys running around, anyway

[!x!dude!x!2]

yes 1 or 2

[Phil]

Can't imagine my life without kids. Would love to start having them in the next ten years.

Asking this on a teenage forum will, most of the time, end in a majority 'no' answers. I used to be adamant I didn't, but when I was faced with the real possibility of being unable to have children (thankfully it was something else) I realised I didn't want the choice taken away from me. Even if I don't have children, I want the choice.

I'm still not decided whether I do or not, I'm not decided whether I want to have biological children or adopt/foster, although lately, probably due to the fact I'm in a stable relationship, I have been feeling a bit maternal - that is, that I feel I do want to have children in the future though. In all honesty it'd probably depend on my career, though...

Did you know the average age these days to be having children has become late 30s. Most of these women wait until they have an established career before they even think about having any children.

yeah that's fine and everything but the field and career i'll be going into 30-45 is a crucial age for advancement, or the time I plan to have the money for a PhD and start a new career as a university lecturer, not really ideal times to be having children.

If I do it'll probably be sooner rather than later. Or adopting/fostering an older child...
