To have or not to have children

I would say it's a personal choice but as age sets in one realises the importance of having children. Life is just incomplete without them. Besides propagation of specie is law of nature.

Exactly this, if you want your family tree to grow then go for it.

Yes, as DecentLady mentioned it's about personal decision. Some people just can't handle such responsibility and prefer to live careless. As for others it important as having kids fills the emptiness they might have in their heart ,like me.

People have different priorities, some want to fulfill all of their expectations and others have the natural desire to start a family as fast as they can. I personally don't see nothing wrong with waiting until they have enough economic resources and they feel ready to commit 100% of their attention to raise a child, otherwise the kids will suffer in the future.

Of coarse I'd love to have children because I love children and I see them as a blessing, but I want to have a family I can support like 2-3 children depending on my financial status.

I have been married for two and half years. I had a miscarriage about four months ago. The pregnancy was accidental however, we wanted to keep the baby. We are not planning any kids yet. But surely once day we will have kids.

Different people with different mentality as for me I will like to have kids. I can't understand why someone will get married and won't be interested in having kids. If there must be love making in the marriage then there should be kids I think.

I think one should have a child when they can provide the proper home and environment. If you're too poor and already struggling or don't have a career, you shouldn't have a child. It will only make things harder.

Do a favor for your child and have a baby once you're completely settled and can manage and make your child happy.

Hey i'am 21 years old and i have a son of 1.3 years old.

In the beginning i was scared for it and i still am.
But you gotta think about the responsibilities that you will have after the birth of the first child.
Means no more parties no more traveling until your kid is at a certain age.
Taking care of your kid 24/7 so days and nights of work.
Learning your kid things all sorts of things.
Give them knowledge about things.
Basically being a father figure!

For a men its difficult to get a kid because we know when it comes to getting a kid your life will be done,
until your kid is at a age to care about things for him/herself! But that age doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of your kid anymore.
No no no no. That only means that you can put your hands of his shoulders but still have to keep your eyes on him from a distance!

I have to admit that i'am being more happy and can do a little more things for myself then i could do before,
but even those things i did don't even give me a flinch of doing anymore since i'am loving my kid more and more every day.
I mean loving him because hes getting more knowledgeable. Now he knows how to throw a ball to me for example or he plays with other kids!

I can go on with the story but what i'am trying to say is wetter your young or old at some point you will get a child but you have to push trough the fears!
At some point your gonna love it! For example ask your parents how they felt when they got you. I promise you will hear bad things but i have explained it to you above here.
But you will also hear beautiful things from them!

Oh and btw,
i just gonna keep it with one kid for now since i'm young, maybe when i'm older probably in the 30's. But for now i'am good!

Not for me, I just can't stand children.

But funny how even in this thread some are calling the decision something that will void my life from having anything in it. I'd say it's quite the opposite, as I don't have to be stuck at home for couple decades taking care of something anyone can achieve.

I don't see a need for a child, and I'm way happier without one.
