Not at all. A child would completely ruin my life.
I believe I could be a responsible father if I was forced into it but I find kids very uncomfortable to be around. I also have no sense of fulfillment or accomplishment when I help them out or teach them something.
I've been told by every parent who knows I hate kids that my mindset will change the instant I have one. They may be right, but I'm not about to have a child in the hopes I'll suddenly love them.

No. I've already had one, and put him up for adoption. He seems to have turned out okay, for only being 7, but...Not sure I want to try again.
Right now? HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
In the future? I'm not really sure. It kind of depends if I ever meet someone that I would want to procreate with.

I would, perhaps, like to raise a son as my successor, but the problem is that it usually requires getting a woman involved. A child I can control, but a woman, no one can. I will only have a son if I can do so without ever so much as touching a woman. I will also require rock-solid financial stability, of course, and preferably I would like to raise the child in a country where I will be allowed to raise them my way. I was thinking of Japan, but they're weird. MAYBE China, or better yet, Korea, though I'm not sure how their child abuse laws are set up. I would also like to raise the child in a country with a large atheist population, because the child would be raised atheist. It would be best, I think, if he was not bullied and ostracized like I was. So basically, I need the technology to do it without involving a woman, the money to safely pull it off, and to relocate to a country that has a large atheist population and is A-okay with corporal punishment. Those are some pretty steep prerequisites, and I'm still mulling it over. I am only twenty, after all.
I want children.. But not girls if at all possible. I'd be too terrified if I had any girls. I'm a guy, and I know what the world is like, I'd go insane and bubble rap her if I ever had a girl. Any boy she dated, would be met with shotgun threats. And any date would be under servailance... I don't trust boys, and quite frankly, I'm too paranoid to do any different..
Quite frankly no. I enjoy being single and I value my own personal freedom quite highly. I would much rather have lots of close friends than have a partner with kids. Though I would consider adopting Teens.
it is the meaning of life in purest and most simple sense. i do want to pass on my genes, but it depends on the partner. there is no point in bringing in a weak or diseased child, if it can be prevented. it also foes without saying that we both would have to be good parents.
in theory the more children you sire the more successful you are, 2,5% of the worlds entire population is a descendant of Ghengis Kahn, currently the most successful male in the history of the species. He even has a chromosome named after him.
not that i intend to try and beat him.... i dont have the army for it...

Maybe eventually... but right now I have a severe hatred of children... but I need something I can use to make up for my life failures eventually... I mean since my clone experiments failed... maybe adoption so I can skip the baby faze... soulless demons is what they are...<.<
I would like to have kids, I just like the thought and whilst im not very good with kids (They kinda scare me) I think i'd get over that and hopefully become a good parent.
That sucks, im sorry to hear that, I hope you have better luck in the future.DRes82 said:
I don't know how you managed to go through one, let alone two... I still have nightmares of arriving at the hospital...DRes82 said:
Regardless, I admire you for being able to stay together after all of it... (we broke up just less than a year later even though the two of us 'recovered', more her than me, since she got PTSD because of it, while I (tried to) put my crap aside to help her).
Eventually perhaps. I don't see it anytime soon, but I have yet to actually be in a rather serious relationship that doesn't consist of High School drama.
I don't know what it is with the Escapist not understanding how a child works. It's a kid. Not an adult. Kids are little shits.
You guys were too.

There's too much me and I in this thread.
When I'm in the right relationship then I probably will. That isn't likely to happen anytime in the near future, I'm far too vain, shallow and self-centered to be in a stable relationship for long enough to want kids. I don't want to change that either, I like being the way I am now. If I find someone good enough to keep me tied to them for long enough, though, then kids won't be a problem.

Biological children or children that I personally raise? I've... donated DNA, for lack of a better term - for a couple kids. Possibly more... long stories, all.krazykidd said:
My wife and I though, no, we don't want kids. Been married 11 years and happy without them. The idea of my DNA going on and being raised by other men and women - I can get behind that, but not raising the brats myself.
