    Job first, then house, then cat, then kids.

    2, a girl and a boy (girl first), 2 years apart, would be nice

    Id rather eat my own foot then contribute to the population crisis. I could also do without every other person telling me that i haven't met the right man yet or il change my mind. I find that incredibly insulting.

    I definitely do...... one day. I always said I don't think I'd be able to have a child whilst at Uni, but now that I've graduated and I have a steady job (and a long term boyfriend) it wouldn't be a complete "disaster". Obviously ideally I would want to wait at least another 5-6 years (I'm 23 now). I'm from a family of 3, so I'd happily have 3!

    I don't have kids yet, but I definitely want to.

    Ideally I'd have three, but I guess two is ok as well. One kid is not enough, no way. At least two!!!

    That's great just remember that they will grow up though and that's when they stop being sweet and adorable and start being a pain in the a*** and you can't just give them back but best of luck hope it goes well for you
    Oh I know that!

    :sadno: they're only cute for a few years when they're little, but once they're older you get all proud and stuff. Sure they'll be a pain in the a** but they grow out of it... and then you're all like

    :woo: HOLY CRAP. HOW DID I CREATE SUCH A LIL MONSTER/ FINE BEING so tis all good.


    Hopefully.

    But yeah cheers! 20+ years away o_O mindfu**

    Not sure. There was a time not so long ago when I definitely wanted kids. Now I'm leaning more towards no; I can't really explain why. I'd be crushed if my partner or couldn't have children, though, I'd hate to have the choice taken away from me.

    Yes I think I would like to have two or three but like other people have said not for another ten years. I think it is a natural urge to want to have children and I think it would be satisfying to know that you had made a lasting impression on someone who would love you unconditionally.

    Hmmm, the idea of children at this current time does scare me, but in about 10-15 years this might change :dontknow:

    I already haz spawn

    offspring 1 :
    Spoiler:
    Show
    my little guinea-pig. a.k.a. Lydia. Aged 6. Frightfully clever (top of her class) but very lazy at times. Wants to be an astronaut. Likes hello kitty, anything to do with astronomy, and the colours pink, red, and purple. Oh and rather irritatingly likes Katy Perry songs.

    offspring 2 :
    Spoiler:
    Show
    Alacazoo a.k.a. Alexander a.k.a. Alex or indeed even Al. Aged 4. Youngest in his class so struggles a lot, but tries hard and can now write his name which is progress for him, believe me. Likes Ben 10 (favourite character is Alien Force Humungousaur), and Transformers. Likes listening to Kiss, and his favourite colour is green.

    offspring 3 :
    Spoiler:
    Show
    JayJay a.k.a. Jason. Aged 2. Cute as a button and totally plays on it! Loves Thomas the tank engine, and indeed anything to do with trains. Likes listening to Kiss just like his big brother. Picky eater, unless it's chocolate cake or chicken, both of which he could eat until the cows come home.

    Oh come off it, the population crisis is in the developing world (of course if you don't want to have children for other reasons who am I to say no).

    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 sabertooth, then kids.

    Why let that stop you? There's plenty of ways nowadays for gay couples to have kids, don't let it stand in your way.

    Awww, your children are absolutely adorable!

    I definitely want children. Preferably two boys and a girl. I'm just a very maternal person, and I really love spending time with children, helping them and looking after them.

    I want children, lots (about 5-7 children)

    I also love names, I'm a name-nerd, so I keep finding names I really like and want to give children, but I have a set 5 names I'd really like to use.
