    I don't really know definitely not now anyway I want to have completed university and be working.
    Maybe after like in 5/6years time. It'd be kinda weird having kids like you know your life is going to change.

    I would like to have a family whilst I was still young and fit enough to keep up with them. I would also hope to be settled in a relationship before I had any kids though.

    Yes definately- having a family and a good family life is really important to me but only after i've finished uni and have a stable job. I also definately want at least 2- I'm an only child and hated it growing up.

    Well, I don't intend on becoming pregnant myself.

    However given the chance to adopt, then yes, but when I've left school and I have enough money to support a child.

    I feel that too many children are in adoption / foster homes and it's not fair that people are going through with pregnancies when there are children already born that could use a loving family.

    I'm not saying that this is the case, nor am I disagreeing with people who feel differently. It's simply my thoughts.

    Re: Do you want children?
    I had a dream last night that I had kids. It was fun


    I want them, in a few years time, have to finish uni and get a decent job first but then hell yeah I want them. I'm already engaged so I'm in a stable relationship and I know my girlfriend wants kids too which really helps matters. Job first, then house, then cat, then kids.

    I can't imagine life at 40 without any kids. They're the only thing that'll keep me going, I'm sure.

    It'd be pretty sad to not have any.

    My career is the most important thing to me for the foreseeable future, it would be unfair to bring a child into the world when I may end up slightly resenting being a mother. Give it another 10 - 12 years and I may be singing another tune.

    Definitely! Children have such an innocent and blunt outlook on life that can really open your eyes, along with changing my life forever. I'd love the challenge of raising one myself and giving them the childhood I've always planned in my head for them, when the appropriate time in life comes, after uni with a good job and a loving husband hopefully, I'd want to have two I think

    I'm pretty sure I do want children eventually. Now would be incredibly poor timing, but when I'm 25+ and have the opportunity...

    No, I couldn't think of anything worse! I'm scared of getting pregnant.

    Yes.

    I'll force them to live all around the world so I can have cheap holidays in various places in my old age.

    Yeah, one day I think I almost definitely do. Similarly as someone else has said, it comes in the order: stable relationship - house - dogs, cats, horse, chickens - kids. Ideally when we can afford that I don't have to work so I can look after the kids and animals, haha.

    Re: Do you want children?
    Yes I do, before I wasnt too bothered, if it happened for me it happened and if it didnt it didnt, but since my beautiful sister was born in 2010 I really really want to become a mother at some point in the future, obv i cant predict when the right time will be but i think ideally late 20s, and I dont know how many children, that depends on alot of things, careers, money, space but I am one of 3 and I think 3 is a good number, one of my biggest worries in life is not finding the right man and never getting the chance to be a mum
