Nope. I was dead set against it when I was a teenager. I told my mother straight up that I wasn't having any kids and she should start working on my brother. She's never let me forget it either.

Now, I'm a little looser, I think I will have children someday...I have given a lot of thought to foster care and adoption. But sometimes my mommy hormones kick in and I feel like I want to be pregnant NOW! lol.

I've got some lofty goals I want to reach first though, so it will be a while before little Owlets start running around.

I never wanted children when I was younger but now I wish I would of had a child.

I've always wanted children. In my first relationship the woman I was with in no uncertain terms did NOT want children. And she was hateful and abusive so I wouldn't have wanted children with her and I convinced myself I didn't want kids to be with her. When that ended (I was 25) I immediately wanted kids again. My then new girlfriend (now wife) also wanted children. We started trying right away and a few years (and thousand of dollars later) I got pregnant with triplets, lost one and had the twins 2 years ago. I was meant to be a mother and so was she, our lives will never be the same and we are soo much better for it.
I think your ideas on having children can change, especially when you are young and just getting a taste of your own life and wants.

thank u girls 4 ur outlooks on dis topic its helping me a lot

Since I was 7 years old. I always wanted a big family, even though I knew very earlier that I preferred women. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't care for children and by the timeframe when we were seriously discussing my getting pregnant (because I'm younger) or adopting, I was diagnosed with a mood disorder and was, and have been, very ill since. We both decided that it would not be an environment conducive to children. But my uterus still hasn't gotten the message!

As far back as I can remember I wanted children. But I didn't know just how different I was until my 30ths and 3 kids later. They are my greatest joy on the face of this earth. And I managed to raise them and they are on their own.

Who knew I could so do well?

I'm 22 and all my life I've been absolutely sure I want children... even after I realized I'm gay. I know I will be an excelent mother. What worries me is that in the country I live (Peru), people is really conservative and religious so things would be kind of difficult for me of course but also for my children... kids can be really mean...

I knew I wanted children from very young. I did get married and had them the old fashioned way. When I got together with my partner we talked about having another baby...but she soon went into peri-menopause...and then I went along too, and so went our plans. I thought about adopting...but I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and am in such pain where I can't get out of bed for days on end. No fair for the kids I have, let alone a new one.

Kids are great. They are the best things in life. The first thing to remember is they take LOTS of time. LOTS of energy, and so much commitment to raise them well. It's so difficult to express that last part. That means not dumping them non-stop in front of the tv. It means doing things with them. And as they get older, to remain interested in their lives.

Enough rambling.
Cheers
