I've never had kids, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems to me you should want to have them before you have them. Having a child out of submission to somebody else just sounds like it's asking for trouble.

you're 16, right? i wouldn't worry about kids right now. just enjoy everything life has to offer, and think about that crap if/when you get married.

where have you been, by the way? you're never on AIM or anything :P

...or it could be that you're not even old enough to vote yet. Go to school, go to college. Then worry about kids. That's an order from daddy. <img src=smilies/director.gif>

Sleep is for lightweights, anyhow.

i think kids are for a couple in love that are committed for the long haul -- married couples fall under this category potentially, as well as other life-committed partners.

but i think it should be a couple in a stable relationship with a good teamwork ethic. also my personal opinion is that the couple spend quite a while enjoying their relationship together and letting it grow and mature before discussion of kids even comes into the picture much.

as for myself, kids are a responsibility that I do not want, and will not want, unless that day comes down the road where I find myself in a situation meeting the above mentioned criteria.

that being said, I don't have my eye on the prize for kids, yet. i admit that someday I will probably want to raise a couple to pass on my blood and feel like a bigger part of this thing called life. but if the circumstances never work out? meh.

Granted, I'm afraid of turning out like my parents..
I don't want that.. Plus I never want to have to worry about not having enough money or food for my kids, I never want to tell them no to something.. yes yes I'll have spoiled rotten kids so maybe it's for the better that I don't have them.. And I never ever ever ever ever want my hubby to feel like he's second best to anything, I never want to get caught up in that I don't want to get caught up in the means of everyday life, and forget what magical wonderful love brought them into this world..

Heh...well, I wasn't sure at first (in some ways I'm still not sure I'm ready) but the more I think about it the more I actually want to have a kid. All I know is that he/she is gonna inherit my Shonen Jump collection. (Yes, I am that much of a geek)

I'm worried about this, specifically my mom. I mean, I can understand, and sometimes she IS justified for being how she is, but after a certain point you need to let your kid have some breathing room.

I'm going to try to get mine to say "Linux." I'd see if I can get it to be it's first word, but usually before a baby can say full words, they just move their lips and pronounce vowel sounds. This is why many babies can say "mah mah" "pah pah" or "dah dah" early on.

That's hillarious. :)
