If you talk and it suddenly seems like a good idea, don't go and fuck without a condom ten minutes later. Think about it the next day, and the next, and the next. There's no great rush. |

The perks of having kids are great.... We just got back from a high school football game. What a great time.

When you and your wife do Christmas, Easter, Tooth Fairy and see the magic, you'll understand. I can't explain this to you since you don't see kids in this perspective YET. But the innocence you experience looking at something that resembles you is amazing. I wouldn't mind having more... And you don't know how quickly you could kill until someone messes with your kid. And the negatives: sleep deprivation, home body, if you have a girl; nail painting. Daycare , clothing, food.. eh.. nothing too negative. |

I am 44. My wife is 30 and she wants a kid. Honnestly said, I am afraid.
I am afraid to loose my liberty. I am afraid to have an handicaped kid. I am afraid to get an assohole kid, like my brother is. I am afraid that I will be a bad father. |
I love kids, their smiles, funny faces, so naive and innocent, you just can't help it.
Always wanted to have three kids and a lovely family 😋 and one day I will😀 but for now I'm really happy to nurse my nephews/nieces, friends' kids when I see them and it's enough cause I don't have much free time. Perhaps, it's more about meeting the right person in your life and then there won't be any questions or fears about being a parent. |

Is it selfish to say I don't want kids because I don't plan on being around until my shall we say "later years", which ultimately be unfair on the kid right ??

I did a shit load of paid testing before mine was born. I didn't care about the gender, but the health. If the health was bad or a bad chance of baby having something terrible, I have no issues terminating. That's just my choice. I've noticed that my boy is taking after the way of life the wife and I have been living. He seems to take on the environment. Very happy kid, sweet, and all that good shit. If you're debating and think you'll regret it later, just DO IT. Once, just one kid and see if that's all you want. Once that moment or possibly is gone, you have to jump through hoops to make it happen. I suggest making sure the relationship you have has handled issues well in the past and financially you're set. :thumbsup Good luck. |
The world needs another child like a dog needs another flea.

I have 1 son, had full custody of him since he was 2 when my ex and I divorced. He is now 17 (18 on Halloween) and a month ago started his 1st semester at Oklahoma State.
Yes kids are expensive and yes I had to sacrifice and miss out on some fun times with friends but I wouldn't change a thing, Getting to watch him grow from a helpless infant to the young man he is today has been the best journey of my life to date. And truth be told, even having a kid, I have still got to enjoy A LOT of awesome times both with him and without him |
So many people I know have kids for no other reason than because their friends have kids and because "its the done thing" and so many more find they cant support them. If you didn't consciously think about it, you shouldn't do it.

35 here.
Never remotely considered having kids but life had other plans for me. I have a 5 year old boy now and he's the best thing that ever happened to me. If I could go back in time I wouldn't change a thing. |

Sadly it is not a happy home right now as has been said, which might have something to do with the wife making such a drastic switch to go from never to wanting. Who knows but all I know is women cannot say 100% they do not want a kid because it takes the tiniest of triggers to make them change their mind. |
I knew before I was even a teenager that I never wanted children. Just don't have any interest in them. It's great for other people, but I personally never wanted to follow the LifeScript™ that most people blindly follow by getting married, having children and buying a house. It's interesting how many people in this thread say they or their spouse didn't want children but now they have them as if by accident. I couldn't imagine undergoing such a radical life change and financial commitment by unplanned happenstance.

I'm 33 and my wife and I have a 4 year old boy. We're still thinking either to have a second one or not.
Having a kid might change a few things here and there in your life but is some wonderful and I can't imagine my life without my boy. Is not entirely true that once you have a child you'll lose your freedom and radically change your life style. I'm still doing what I always liked to do, it's true that I cut some of the list but that comes with the age anyway. The only "bad" thing are the sleepless nights or when they get sick and you can't or don't know what to do to make them feel better. Proud to be a dad! |
