I flip back and forth. I'm in school for so damn long that having them at any sort of a reasonable age means giving up having any point in my life with a good income and the freedom to enjoy it. But it seems like the extra love in your life and the chance to mold and nurture a successful human being would be incredibly rewarding. Then I start reading about or seeing the kind of things that can go wrong genetically or developmentally and it freaks me out. I really don't know if I'm strong enough to be a great caretaker for a kid with Downs, full-blown autism, cerebral palsy, etc. Hard to justify spinning that wheel without being ready to handle the results...

some days I want kids. Very rarely.... I would really want a kid if they popped out at age 2, and when they become annoying you could tie them up in the closet and just put a litter box in there.
Thankfully I probably will never be a parent.

Wife wants them, but I'm indifferent about them.

When I was younger, I used to want kids. A boy and a girl. Had names picked out for them as well. As I've aged and had much more experience with them (especially after my parents decided to adopt two infants when I was about 24-25), my desire for children has vanished. In fact, the older I get, the less patient I seem to get with kids.
My wife is the same way. In fact, I can still remember the day that we decided that we weren't going to have them. We were in an Olive Garden, having lunch, and there was this toddler who was screaming as loud as he possibly could. The only time he was quiet was when his mother put some food into his mouth. The mother was the only person with the toddler, and she looked tired. I don't mean tired like 'I haven't slept in awhile', I mean tired like...someone who has just been beaten down by life. Maybe the kid was just having a bad day, maybe he was tired, or had an ear infection...I don't know. But it didn't matter. We both knew we never wanted to have to go through that, ever.
People like it when I watch their kids. My mom says that we're the only people she trusts with my little brother and sister, because we don't let them get away with stuff. But it frays my nerves. They talk too damn much. They're too loud. Nothing they have to say is of any consequence. And I know that I was the exact same way when I was a kid, but why does that mean that I have to suffer too? My wife and I would rather not be chained down financially, emotionally, or socially by kids.
^ yeah, that.
I don't have enough patience for kids and I'm way too selfish.

I don't want kids but I love them still. I am too selfish to devote that much time to kids. It's funny though because I still always think of things that involve me having them. Like I will have a brief flash of what I would share with my daughter or son, and then I remember I don't want them 
This is basically how I feel about it. I enjoy hanging with other people's kids, and babysitting, but I want to come home to my own time.

Heh... My mom asks me this all the time... She's like "  ou find someone yet?? I want grandkids..."
I'm like "Mommmm...." Besides, why does she keep asking me... My brother's the one who's married... He can produce offsprings for my mom to spoil to hell and back....
But for me, I do want kids, but I do not want the baggage that comes with having kids. I'll probably have kids via surrogate (and of course, after having all the legal mumbo-jumbo done). ^_^ Sorry, ladies...
By baggage, I'm talking about having someone yak yak in my ears (or eyes)... After all, how can I mold my kids to be the next Genghis Khan? |

Yeah I want to spend all my money, wipe poo off something and have it make everything in my life smelly and sticky, all so it can grow up to be an annoying little brat.

I flip back and forth on the subject. Wolfz really, really wants kids, and i love the idea of having kids. Im just scared because once you have one, if it turns out you're a crap parent or whatever, you cant give it back lol. Everybody says they think i'll be a great mum though, so who knows?

I want kids. I am just worried about how much they cost.
