Do you have kids?

Miss Price: "Oh, that's quite out of the question. Children and I don't ... get on."

Hell no. If somebody wants to be born to me so damn bad (and all their taste has to be in their mouth along with being a glutton for punishment) they'd have to consult those silly Gods that believe in 'immaculate conception'.

Everyone at school would always say, "Oh, she'll be the first of us to have kids and she'll have a dozen of them, blah, blah, blah." Well, guess what - I'm one of the last few in my graduating class NOT to have ANY, and I'm not tied down with a bunch of brats like them that THEY didn't want because THEY couldn't figure out how to use birth control.

I'm also told "Oh, you'll change your mind once you have them." Since when was it an 'inevitability' instead of an 'option'? Which century is this???

I'm still hoping to get a job with medical insurance so I can get this damn bleeding crampy thing out of my body. It's been nothing but trouble since the day it activated itself.

Yeah, go ahead, say it - I'm a monster/demon/piece-of -shit because I'm female and DON'T want children. less

Wow, that's crazy. What are the odds? Lol. At least you're happy with your son and don't like "regret" him or anything. That's always good to see. I believe everything happens for a reason too, so I guess you were just meant to have a little boy in your life! less

Chili, I think your choice is very mature! There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids. There are 6.2 BILLION people on the planet, I see people who probably shouldn't have had any, have kids every day, and I love it when someone is mature and open enough to say, "Hey, I don't want them. Somebody else can have them." I think children should only be born to people who WANT THEM more than anything in the world. That way, ALL children would be absolutely wanted and desired etc.

As for the "You'll change your mind." There's a good chance you won't. I have seen too many women have children who never wanted them because someone told them, "Once you hold that baby in your arms, you'll want him." And they hold that baby....and feel nothing. Or feel really burdened. Then both they and the baby are unhappy. I think it better to KNOW ahead of time what you want, instead of just mindlessly breeding when you are pretty sure you don't want kids, and you know you have other things to do with your life and go with that!

I have kids, but My Man and I wanted them since WE were kids. I don't think anyone should have a baby who doesn't absolutely want them and have the time to take care of them and decides when to have them. I gave up going to Medical School to have kids. Once in a while I regret my choice (usually when my kids are being ungrateful little twits) but, for me, it was the right thing to do. For someone else, their own choice should be the ONLY thing that tells them what to do.


I APPLAUD your choice, Chili! You are a mature, decent, honest woman. Having babies doesn't "Complete you" if you don't want them. I say stick by your guns and do whatever you WANT with your life!

Hear hear! less

I'm somewhere between not wanting them and wanting them someday. I've been super hormonal recently, and it's made me want kids more than ever... not to mention the slight pressure my partner has been putting on me. He's got 5 of his own, from two different women, so, I dunno if I want to add another kid to the bunch.

He and I recently decided that we weren't going to have any due to my hesitation on the matter. I dunno. less

I dont have kids by birth. I have custody and have pretty much been a mother to my 3 younger sisters since I can rember.

A few years from now me and my husband are planning on having one child of our own. After that we would like to adopt a few older teens because the older they are the less likely they are to be adopted. I hope that if I can adopt some older teens that have never really been loved there whole life that I can help them back on track cause most(not all)the time they have behaviurl problems and theres a strong chance that they are going to get into drugs, drinking, crime and down a long steep slippery road to no good. less

I wanted at least four kiddos. Our first baby was amazingly good, never cried and has been an angel until his sister came along. She is AWFUL! She is a colicky baby, and when she starts to scream it lasts from 5-8 hours at a time. Now we decided 2 is a good number. maybe when these two are a lot older I'll forget how bad #2 was as a baby and want more less
