Babies! ;)

[veganmuncher]

Well this thread is about BABIES! :nigel:
Hehehe

I know this might scare some of you at the thought...but just wondering..

Who here who is under 19 wants to have children when they are older, who doesn't and who hasn't decided


Personally I don't really want children...I find them annoying and it'scheaper etc not to have them...I do want to get married tho and if my husband really wanted kids, I'd have one for him, but no more than one! Hehe..adoption also seems interesting...helping make a life better and all that. Of course I'm not certain as I can't make a decision like that right now but this is what i feel right now. My friends think it's weird that kids annoy me and that i don't really want them...but anyway... :stinkeye:

What about you?

[moo]

I definately want to have kids when im a grownup ther so sweete and cute (if U raise them right) :bow:

[misq17]

I don't think I'll want children because it's a ton of responsibility to have (even though it is rewarding), the world is already overpopulated and I don't particularly want to get married.

If I ever got married though and decided I wanted children, I would adobt.

[iceflower]

I wasn't sure for a while, but now I very much do. But just one or two so I can still have a little independance while being able to afford the luxeries for the kids - family holidays, dance lessons etc..

[mayuko]

i don't. ew. yucky.

:p

maybe it's just the point in my life, but i've felt this way for awhile. i don't feel i'm mature enough for children. i feel i'm too selfish to take care of children, to put it bluntly. i need to work on caring enough to keep myself alive before i could even consider thinking about keeping someone else alive.

[katt]

I think I would probably adopt, but an older child due to the overpopulation problem and that I err... dont enjoy little babies that much.. too noisy and wake you up at 2am. I think it would be too much work for me.

[Dc_Veggie]

eh I don't want kids period.

[AliasSpy]

I pretty much don't want kids. If I ever decided that I did, which I doubt, I'd definitely adopt.

[brownieB26]

I'm going to adopt a little girl from china. With my anxiety and other problems, I don't really want to be passing my genes down :p Plus, morning sickness, stretch marks, baby fat... it doesn't seem that appealing.

[JoyFuLGurL7]

I'm adopting as well. I definitely want to be a mom and wouldn't miss that opportunity for the world. Of course, I'm only 19 so maybe as I grow up, I'll decide to have children of my own, but I know that as of right now, I don't see my views changing. I think it's so amazing to change a child's life like that and take them out of poverty and give them a life they deserve. Also, the world is overpopulated so I don't think I need to be pumping out any kids to add to the troubles. Either way I go, I want to be a mom. I had the most amazing mom EVER and I can't wait to try and be half the woman she was.

[MichelleBell]

I want to get married someday and have kids. For a while I thought I just wanted to adopt, but now I kinda want a baby of my own. So maybe I'll have my own and then adopt. I really want a baby girl. :) If I don't get married, then I'll just adopt.

[Meo]

If I had kids, they'd obviously be adopted. First I'd have to get married, though, obviously. I have my future planned out aside from those things.

[annabanana]

No kids for me. And I'm not particulary interested in marriage either...but that could change :D Babysitting is about as much as I can handle!

[vegansurfer]

Interesting. Anyone else notice how many of us want to adopt (myself included). I wonder how many of us will stick that.

I don't want to have children of my own, but am guessing that will change when i am older, seeing as how I am only 16. There are so many kids out there that need better homes and it sort of freaks me out about how many things can go wrong during pregnancy. And my family seems to be plagued with problems (a lot of my aunts and uncles are on anti-depressents, one cousin has Down syndrom, two couins have ADD, one of those and another one have terrets, etc.), my dad and I have tons of allergies.
And I would know i would be helping out a human is so many ways.

I definately want to be a mom. I like kids. Part of me wants to be one so that I can do what I wished my parents did do and vice versa.

[veganmuncher]

Have any guys posted on this topic? It would be interesting to see what they want!

And yea wow, a lot of us do want to adopt. I really want to now! .... I think...

[thebelovedtree]

If I have kids, i'll want to adopt, but i'm like that about everything. My boyfriend wants to get me pedigreed show quality rats with special markings and all that and i'm like "but what about the rats with no home, lets adopt them!" damn hippies!

My uncle recently divorced. he had to fill out some form or something, and it asked if he had any sexually transmitted diseases. He ticked the "yes" box and in the "If you answered yes, please specify" space: "Children"

Well, he got the form sent back, but it was quite a cool joke. Anyway, I don't want to have kids. Kids are annoying. I was an annoying kid, and I really don't think that having children is something that I would like to do. I really can't imagine myself being a father. I'm happy on my own, and I can't see myself wanting kids. I'm only aged 19, but I think I've decided for myself already. I may change my mind in the future, but as it stands, I don't want kids.

Hahahaha, that's funny!

:cool:

[Ashley22304]

I'm really looking forward to having children. I'm an only child, so having a big family was always appealing to me. I want to have 2 of my own and 2 adopted. It's cool to see so many people on here want to adopt. Alot of people are so against it.

[clickman]

Don't have kids. Please. Don't. I don't need more whiny brats crying in the supermarket/movies/etc. If you must, adopt them from Cambodia, the Congo, etc. --- 3rd world countries.

[vheogl]

I always said i would never have kids, The plan has always been to live alone in a nice lofthouse apartment with a cat and goldfish named bob, i like my own company and people tend to anoy me. children to me have always been something i never wanted, too much pain, it starts at conception and doesnt end till the day you die, plus theres the money! children are way too expencive.
Though saying all that lately i have been thinking about children, and it would be nice having little mini me's, being able to mould a little person and having something to care for other than me ( and my future cat and goldfish named bob) I think i'd make a good mummy for a child, and if it was like me as a baby (i slept though the night from 6 days old - i was perfect :D) everything would be fine. Idealy i'd have about 4, mainly girls, and then as they got older i'd probably foster, fosterings always something that apealed to me rather than adoption, adoption seems too complicated.

As for mariage, i very much doubt it, i've been single for all 18 years of my life and i dont see it changing anytime soon, if the right person came along then it's something i'd concider but it's not something i'd plan to do.

Kids are annoying. They run around and wreak havoc, and they're a danger to your sanity.

Well, there's that, but it doesn't put man ypeople off! I guess i don't really have a desire to have kids. I have no thing inside me saying "Have kids!"

[AngelOfDance]

this may seem masochistic, but...
I want to adopt kids who are dying. Most people don't want them. They want to outlive their kids. It's not because I think it would be fun to watch my child die, but really because a dying child needs a home and a family even more than a healthy one. Imagine being terminally ill with no permanent family. I suppose I'll have to have a lot of money to pay for medical stuff, but I can do that.


As for the fact that so many want to adopt, I think veg folks tend to be more conscious of world problems than others. Many are already fighting for animals, and fighting for children sort of goes along with that. I know when I became veg, things suddenly seemed a lot more important to me: the world became bigger than me, and I became more powerful to help. I hadn't ever had a cause (besides fighting cancer, but there's nobody against me there) but suddenly, everything was my cause and responsibility. I had to do all I could to make the world better.

Wreak Havoc? Danger To Your Sanity? sounds like having pets to me :D my cats more danger to my sanity than any Kid could ever be hehe.

Having kids could be fun, it gives you a chance to be a kid again and play with toys etc without "being to old" I miss playmobil and barbies and all the other fun things i used to have as a kid, if i had little me's i could play with them again :)
