    I don't have any because I'm studying at university rn and am way too young for that. Definitely want children in the future tho. 2 kids, ideally 1 son and 1 daughter, patchwork family style. Might even adopt one. But that can wait haha

    I'm honestly not sure yet. Part of wants to start a family if I find the right person, and part of me doesn't think I could purposefully bring a human being into the world we live in. Which, to be clear, isn't a judgement of anyone with kids, it's just my own anxieties I need to deal with before making such a large life decision lol.

    I'm still kinda young so not right now but I'm definitely up for it in the future tho. I'd have to make sure I have a good income flow first tho. as for how many I have no idea. anything less than 5 I guess.

    Yep, I have children. A 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl.

    Never wanted children or thought I'd ever have children but I wouldn't change them for the world. We'll, kinda anyway. The boy can but an utter s--- sometimes!

    Sometimes you don't have a say in that decision. The world is much better looking at it through your child's eyes.

    My oldest was planned but the youngest wasn't. But yeah, I hate this world sometimes but that would never influence me on how I raise my kids.

    It’s not particularly a life goal. I know some people are very set on having kids/a family but it’s just not something I’m really striving for. I’m not opposed to having kids though if I find the right person. I can’t imagine myself having more than 2 kids. I’d be content with just 1 though.

    I mean obviously surprises can happen, and of course I'd take care of my kid if it did. But that's not really the point, and I take proper precautions to help ensure that doesn't happen lol because at this moment in time I absolutely do not want kids.

    It doesn't have anything to do with how I would raise my hypothetical kids, it's just that I'm not sure I'd want to bring more human beings to life on a planet that's being systematically pillaged, polluted, and destroyed in a country with frequent mass shootings at schools (and churches and malls and wall marts and concert venues and clubs and). That's my own personal prerogative just as it is yours to have kids. But I don't know what the future holds, I might want them down the line and that stuff might not matter if I find the right person and we both wanna start a family. Like I said it's my own personal quandaries and anxieties to deal with.

    I do not have one and from the bottom of my heart I can tell you I don't want one and I will never have one til the day I die.

    It's a combination of me being selfish because I want to live this short life only for myself and on the other side, I can't imagine bringing a kid into this sick a--- world.

    Really even thought about vasectomy, but I don't know how dangerous it can be.

    But hey, all respect to people who have kids, wish you all the best. I have a lot of close friends that have kids and I was able to see how that changed them and made them even happier, however could never ever be me.

    It's not selfish, it's your life and you should live it how you want to—just as people who want to raise a family should live it how they want to. It's only selfish if you have a kid and are absent from their lives.

    I will say that as I ease into my 30s, the idea of having kids has become more appealing to me. Being 30 and seeing friends with kids and being like "wow that looks so wholesome and fulfilling and happy" rather than when I was 18 seeing kids from my HS with kids already and being like "d--- I'm glad that's not me" lol

    I think adoption should be considered more often but apparently there are so many obstacles that many don't even try it

    you're so lucky, is very difficult to find a girl that does not want kids where I'm from.

    BIGFOOT More than a myth!

    I’ve honestly lost count how many lil bigfoots I got running around these days.

    Last time I had a little tally up the number was somewhere between 12 and 24 but that was a couple years back so I’m guessing that the number is around 28 as of right now.




    Before anyone asks, Bigfoot support always gets paid on time.

    Yeah, it's notoriously hard at least in the USA. But it's def something I'd consider down the line if I decided I wanted kids.
