I want to have children but I think it would be better if my bloodline ended for medical reasons.
So I'll need a wife that's down to adopt.

you don't need a wife...you could marry a man?

I do not want to...

I have kids..OK one is 22.
Its a BIG responsibility, and tbh you wouldn't do it if you didn't love them, you have to do so much, and then stop doing so much and just worry.
But wow, it has great rewards

I have one child. She's 24 now and out of the house doing her own thing.
She was always a good kid and never much trouble. It was fun to watch her grow up, discover things, become her own person.
Having said that, I wouldn't go through it again. Even good kids are a lot of work.

I used to babysit my little cousins when I was a younger adult, holy fuck, it's a headache. Screaming, and shouting, and jumping all over the place, and not listening to a single thing you say.

I'm ok with kids. I have one. Given the choice if I could go back and not plant seed? I would. I love my daughter but the relationship with her mother is tiring. Baby girl though is wonderful. Love being a dad.

I love children. I'd love to start a family someday. However, I would much rather adopt and foster than procreate.

Since I was young I have always dreamed of having a family; now that I'm starting one, I'm terrified of having one in this world.

Just had my first a few months back. It is so scary, but really not that bad once you figure the little thing out. Mine is at the giggling stage and it makes all those sleepless nights worth it.

That's awesome! I'm not scared of having children, just raising them in these interesting times. Of course I worry about being a good parent, though. I will definitely be better than my parents were.

If I'm in a loving relationship with someone I truly love, and I'm in the right financial position, okay. One kid would be okay. Maybe two. I don't see the big deal. I'd be careful to lay down my expectations, but not be disappointed if they fuck up, and don't meet that. This is why parents flip out, and get disappointed. They expect their kids to be better than them. Just let that shit roll. It's not your fault if things don't go as planned.

I'm 31 and I want a child desperately with my wife, however, we just aren't financially stable enough to have a child and responsibly take care of them.
[–] 123_456 ago
Are you and your wife the same age? Just stick to your guns a couple years, and you'll be in a good enough position to pop one out.
[–] middle_path [S] ago
27 and neither am I, but I did it. My wife and I will have student loans for the next 10 years. I am not willing to wait that long. I've also heard you're never really ready, so we just dove in.
