Its only that I don't want children too far into my forties....its just a personal choice.


No, I can understand that.. But at the end of the day, if you want something that much then exceptions can be made..

You can look after me instead :p I need too much looking after.. lol

(Translation: five)

I gave custody to their father about a year after I decided to leave, and as much as I miss them some days (they are out of state), they are doing so well; I'm terribly proud of them...

:)

Took me three guesses before I finally noticed the white text :p Hate to think what else I may have missed by not noticing white text :rolleyes:

You never know with this sort of board though :p


Lol oh I know......its just not my kinda thing. Though each to their own ;)
 
I have two children. They are 9 and 11 yrs old. I am one of those who always said I didn't want children, and then I hit my 30's had some medical problems and was told I probably could never have any. Suddenly I wanted to have children so bad I ached. So I went the surgery/medication therapy route and am blessed with 2 wonderful, fun children. I can't imagine life without them.

But look at his AV. Aren't you tempted to at least put a nappy on him and take it off again before he fills it up? ;) Sorry, I don't want to turn this into another admiration of Nax's ass thread. <snort>

Ivy :p

LMAO.....oh my god, I think I am gonna heave :p
 
im 19.. too young to be having children (at least for me)

i do want them in the future though
 
None for me, and don't want any. My parents will have grandpuppies and grandkitties, maybe even some grandhorses.

(Also, I want to thank those parents here for not, so far, suggesting to me or anyone here that "you'll grow out of it and want kids someday." I've personally known I didn't want children since I was 8, and I'm almost 20 now.)

It's a little game here on Lit, the white text.
 
I didn't want kids either. I didn't want to be married. I didn't believe in love.

I was not sure I had the patience to be a parent. I felt I'd raised my 'rent and some of my "grand 'rents, so I was up to here with responsibility. I was terrified I'd hit my kids.

When I got married at age 23 my biological clock started ticking loudly. My ex didn't want kids. He had this strange idea it was all about having a house and a certain amount of money. So I was good. I got a kitten. I got some birds. I got busy at work. In the back of my mind I thought, I want to have kids before I'm thirty.

At 29 my Dad who was at that time my best friend and business partner was given a terminal diagnoses. I asked him if he wanted me to hurry and try to have a grandkid for him. He said, no, he wanted me all to himself.

At 30, shortly after my Dad died, my not yet ex, told me he wanted to have a child. At that time I was trying to grieve, he was only "home" a few nights a week, I was trying to deal with my Grandmother who had Alzheimer's and the legalities of becoming her legal guardian, taking care of two businesses that Dad and I had, taking care of two houses, and take care of my mother who was regularly trying to kill herself but you know what? I agreed.

The minute he heard he'd gotten me pregnant, he backtracked. Three days later he left. I coped despite him literally making things as complicated as possible.

I found I was far more patient that I'd ever expected and a pretty damn decent parent.

As soon as I remarried, I offered to have another child so the two could be as close together in age as possible. My husband, who had helped deliver and raise my first baby who became our girl, agreed with that. I was a little scared on a primal level to lose him during the pregnancy but in my mind and heart I knew I could trust him not to abandon me.

When the second one was able to walk away I wanted another. My husband didn't. I took the steps to make sure my baby hunger was eased.

Now at age 16 and 14, my kids are wonderful. I will have no other kids but I'm so glad I had these two. Each year gets better with them. Watching them grow, learn and develop is a beautiful thing.

As my father said to me, having you was the best thing I ever did in my life, I feel the same way about my kids.

I don't have any "children of my heart" but I'm open to them. I do have many who I consider to be sisters and brothers of my heart though. I've always liked the term.

My son is 24 and my daughter is 19. I absolutely don't want to have any more - with Master's health the way it is we could not cope with a child as well, much as the thought of it is a nice one to have. If we'd met about 15 years earlier it might have been different :)

Master's daughter is 28, and she has two of her own aged 7 and 4. We love the grandkids but Miss 7yo ADHD is exhausting after a few hours!
