I want kids, but not at the moment. Thats actually the reason I married young, we get to have fun together for a while and then have kids. The only problem is the number, she wants 2 and I want 3. Ah well, we shall see what happens but for now, the pill is my friend.

Granted my wife was not on anything and the pull out method of birth control did not work.

I got married at 21, wife was 22. We still havn't decided for sure or not yet. We don't think we need to have kids to define ourselves. IE we don't think our lives will be unfulfilled if we never have kids (good attitude to have), but since we are still so young we've decided to put it off and decide once I finish school and she gets partway through grad school.

I wonder what age it is best to have kids by. 30 would be nice 🙂

You call it a good attitude, but others would call it selfish 🙂 I would never encourage somebody who doesn't want kids to have them, but I would think that most people who decide to not have them, and don't, would do it differently once they hit old age and realize that the buck stops with them.
 
for a while, i really wanted kids when "i grew up". but now, i don't know. I think deep down, i really really do, but seeing so many horrible children, it really turns me off. But then again, most of the time, if the kids are bad, you can occasionally blame it on bad parenting. I get frightened because i can't even take care of myself sometimes, how could i possibly be resposible for another human life.

I guess there is nothing better than making a life with someone you truly are in love with

I believe that you more often times than not can link a bastard child to a bastard parent.
 
I already have them and they are my everything. Such little comics and we have a lot of fun. Sure parenting can be VERY stressful at times but in the long run you only remember the good times.
 


Not really. Too much responsibility. Most parents can't seem to get it right since none of the kids I see respect their elders.

I am an uncle to a lot of children since I had so many older brothers.
 
I don't think I will ever meet a person I feel I can have children with... I think I will just help my brother and his wife raise my 2 nephews... and if my sister has any, which I don't think her and her husband have any plans to, I will do the same and try to help raise them...

I honestly don't think I would be a good father... I never had a father in my life so I have no idea what it takes to be a good one...

One thing though, if I did find the right woman to have children with I would probably go way overboard and have 6...

Do everything you wished somebody had done for you as a father figure and I bet you'll do alright.
