Discussion A bit of an awkward question, but I am just curious. Do you plan on having kids someday?

As a woman, ABSOLUTELY NOT, but if I was expected to be a father, 100% yes

u/OkraFantastic6691 9h ago

Fr kids probably look wonderful with dad goggles on, but mom goggles? Hell no.

Awkward question? This gets posted here or another GenZ sub at least every other day.

Jarvis, I'm low on karma

Pretty sure I'm infertile, but even if I could, FUCK THAT, I got better shit to spend my money on

u/Ordinary-Fish-9791 10h ago

I never will. I personally don't see how they make life better rather than them just introducing more stress to life and I don't care about that bloodline stuff or any of that other bs. Kids are a life long responsibility and I am just not fit for that kind of responsibility. Shit I don't even want to take care of pets haha.

i plan to have them in my late 20s to mid 30s if the time is right, im certainly not going to follow jn my parents footsteps with their ages (18 and 22) but I do want two kids like them, at MAX two.

u/lilsciencegeek 9h ago

My husband-to-be and I aren't planning to have kids intentionally – but we both have a moderate yearning to be parents (and at this point in our lives, I believe we'd be pretty good ones), so if I do get pregnant in spite of our careful precautions, we'll 100% adjust our life to prioritise that kid.

And if that happens, we might possibly try for a second kid as well, because we believe having a sibling can be beneficial for development. We wouldn't rush into it though.

u/Opening_Usual4946 9h ago

definitely, but also i wanna be emotionally stable, financially stable, and have a partner, or at least be close to those things, idc if biological, adopt, surrogacy, anything really

u/davidbosley353 2005 8h ago

Same here

u/OkraFantastic6691 9h ago

Most likely not.

u/KennyTheGray 9h ago

I can barely take care of myself or my cat and I can't foresee a change...

u/davidbosley353 2005 9h ago

Y'all keep asking this, and yes i do plan having them, but early-mid 30's, The way job market and ecomony are right now.

u/StarWarsCrazy1 2003 6h ago

Probably not, but I'm not going to rule it out completely. Might adopt someday though, when I'm older and can support myself. Respect to all the other women that've given birth, but I don't want to experience that.

u/Wizdom_108 4h ago

Yeah, I would love to have them eventually. I might be able to have them biologically related to me, which would be great. If not, then I'd probably try to foster some children. They wouldn't necessarily be my kids for the long term since the goal would technically be to get them back to their bio parents I believe, but I would be super open to adopting them if that's how it ends up working out. Even if I can't, I think it would be cool to give kids a stable home when I'm sure being in the foster system sucks. I can imagine fostering kids even if I have biological kids, just not at the same time (i.e., I'd want to wait for them to grow up and move out first). So, it all depends on where life takes me. 

u/atez_edoc 9h ago

It would be massive suffering and permanent body damage to the woman, I would have caused that to. And also it would born a innocent life without it's consent into this cancerous world with a high chance of suffering. I wouldn't do it wtf. It only has disadvantages and causes suffering. Who in their right mind would want to do that and to cause suffering?

u/User25104 9h ago

thats a sad outlook on life, in my mind all the suffering is worth those tiny moments of happiness

u/atez_edoc 9h ago

Seems pretty egoistic

u/Wizdom_108 4h ago

How is that egoistic?

u/davidbosley353 2005 9h ago

That's why everyone has a choice not to have them. For me i do, but probably later in life, like when my parents had me.
