What is your Child Situatiom

I was wondering about people where who may or may not have or want or do not want children. I personally have one child (a girl) and I absolutly love being a father.
 
I want children in the future, but not quite yet as I am only 18 and first want to settle with a girl and get a good job etc. etc.

However, once that's done, let the children come. Unless I have like 24 or so it's going to be okay, I'd like to have 2-3, maybe 4 kids even.
 
It's possible for same-sex couples (or even single people) to adopt in the UK, though I'm not sure what the situation is in the US and other places.

I'm hoping to have children when I'm older: it would really give me something good to do, and maybe change my absurd outlook on life.
 
I'm definitely going to have kids someday. Like I said in the idol thread, I look up to my parents more than any other people on the planet, and I want to emulate them in how they raised me. I'd like at least one of each sex, but I think more than 2 kids is really pushing it.
 
I also have a daughter, she will be three in October, and I both enjoy and dislike being a father.
 
I'd like one or maybe two children at some point, but right now I don't think I'm mature enough to even start considering it.
 
I do plan on having kids. I'm only 18 at the moment so not for a few years yet. But once I have a decent job and settle down with my fiancé (hopefully), I'll be happy to have 2 kids of my own. Probably not until I'm about 25 though.
 
I help my mom out at her preschool, and I occasionally volunteer to work with kids at my church. I'm only 18 though, so I will definitely wait until later in life

Being that 25 is not all that far away for me, my current girlfriend is 26, and my last girlfriend was 30, that scares the living shit out of me. People having kids at 25? Jesus, I don't know how my parents did it (my father was my age when my sister was born). There's no way in hell I'd be able to care for a child even if I wanted one.

That being said...

...I really don't feel compelled to produce any children. There certainly is a small part of me that considers the idea and could see theoretically enjoying it, but honestly, the vast majority of me really actively doesn't want any. I think there's a very good chance I will never have a child, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I'm not sure I'm willing to go as far as to get a vasectomy, but it's something I've considered. Not very hard, or for very long, but my desire to be childless is strong enough that it has at least come up.
 
Personally, I cannot stand children. I most certainly do not plan on ever having any of my own!
 
A year ago, having a family and pushing out a few kids sounded like a good idea, something I wanted to do eventually. Over the course of a year, my boyfriend and I have completely changed our minds. We no longer have any desire to have any kids. I hate them.

My mother tells me when they belong to you, you feel different about them. I'm sure that's the case, but I still don't want any. I'm 22, not that that's old or anywhere near running out of time to start a family, but I just can't understand people my age who have children. I like to stay up late and get out of bed late. I like to spend the money I make on myself, I like to eat junk food and I don't want to spend my freetime taking care of someone else.

Also, I'm afraid of having children with mental of physical defects. I'm sure if I did, I would love them, but my life would be over as I'd have to spend the rest of my life taking care of them.

If I do have children, I think I'm going to adopt. You get a kid, you can be sure they don't have any disabilities, and you don't have to ruin your girlish figure.
 
I love kids, so I'm pretty sure I'll have them someday. I have two younger brothers and they're cool, and I wouldn't mind having some myself. I want twins, one of each sex.
 
I think I would rather adopt a slightly older child(maybe 10-13ish), as I rather dislike young children, but would like to have the experience of being a father, even if not for the child's whole life.

I'd also prefer to have a daughter, I'm not sure why, but whatever.
 
I hate children. I can deal with/entertain them in short spans if I need to but I am certain I couldn't handle my own.


Of course that isn't likely to become an issue for me!
