Just for curiosity's sake, do you have children, and if so how old were you when they were born? Also, if you don't have children but want to someday, what age would you want to have them?

kids only enslave you them, will not even thank you, and will even curse you, why have that?
every choice you make should fit your family. you can't just get up and leave to somewhere else, or change a job more easily(than being alone), in case you don't like your wife, you can't just leave her, you need to work more so that you will earn enough money, and spend the money you have more wisely.
i just can't see how those little devils worth it. the hell with man kind, there are too many this days anyway...

Well, if your "dont like your wife" I would suggest firstly, you don't marry her, and secondly, you don't plan to have kids together! Obviously relationships break down, but just because a couple with a child are no longer together, doesn't necessarily imply that they will be any worse parents!in case you don't like your wife, you can't just leave her,

That has not been my experience.TuviaDaCat said:kids only enslave you them, will not even thank you, and will even curse you, why have that?

I like your answer, I have one little girl, I had her at 23 she is six now, and I understand what you mean when you say all these things.Astronuc said:I love my two children, a daughter and a son, and I do not feel burdened by them, although there are times when I feel challenged.
Fortunately, I have a wife who is a good partner, and that makes all the difference in the world.
Both my children have expressed their appreciation for my being their father, may be as much as they have expressed their anger at times.

I've got three kids who are now 2, 4, and 6. I was 36 when we had the first. I regret nothing and I think it was the perfect timing for all of us. This will be the first summer in six years where we will be able to walk around without having to carry a kid wherever we go. I'm looking forward to the next several years.-Chi Meson
Moonbear said:I don't have any kids yet, but would like one. A few years ago, I finally reached a stage of my life and career where I'm ready to have one...whether fully planned or not quite fully planned, with a spouse or single. I'm not going out of my way to get pregnant while single, but if it happened, I would be ready for it. And if I don't get around to having one of my own while I still can, I'll adopt a bit later in life (might still adopt one anyway...my ideal would be one biological kid and one adopted).
I agree, Moonbear will make a great mom and a great wife. Now if she can only find the right man.Zenparticle said:Not that I am an expert on you Miss Moonbear, but I think you would make a great parent, and I also think that your idea of the adopted and natural is quite honorable of you. There will be love there no matter what. While I am most certain this would be a job you could do on your own, having someone you trust and love to help and be there for you and the kids is the best start for a solid foundation and a sane mind. Somehow, I feel whatever you plan or whatever happens you will be leading the pack with ease. My best wishes to you on that.
You want some? I've got a couple you can have.turbo-1 said:No children.
No thanks! Love 'em but don't want to take responsibility for them.Astronuc said:You want some? I've got a couple you can have.
I wouldn't do that to you. I contributed to making them, so I'm responsible.turbo-1 said:No thanks! Love 'em but don't want to take responsibility for them.

The best age to have kids varies for each individual and depends on personal circumstances. Some people may feel ready to have kids in their early 20s, while others may wait until their 30s or even 40s. It is important to consider factors such as financial stability, career goals, and overall readiness before deciding on the best age for you to have kids.
The number of kids a person should have is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer. Factors such as financial stability, personal preference, and ability to provide for each child should be considered when making this decision. Ultimately, the number of kids a person has should be based on what they feel is best for their family.
There is no perfect timing to have kids. Some people may plan to have kids at a specific time in their life, while others may have unexpected pregnancies. The most important thing is to be emotionally and financially prepared to take on the responsibility of raising a child.
Having kids at an older age can increase the risk of certain complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Women over the age of 35 may have a higher chance of experiencing fertility issues, high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes. It is important to consult with a doctor and closely monitor any potential risks during pregnancy at an older age.
There is no definitive answer to this question as readiness to have kids varies for each individual. Some factors to consider when determining if you are ready to have kids include financial stability, emotional readiness, and support from your partner or family. It is important to carefully consider all aspects of having a child and make the decision that feels right for you.
