I know a few people IRL that never really wanted kids, but have them and are great parents. I have two and didn't care if I ever had kids, but now that I have them and even though they are BRATS, I wouldn't change it for nothing. LOL, anyone else? Heck, I didnt even think I could have kids.


I always wanted children... My sister says she never wants kids - shes always said that. She is a good aunt, and I guess she has plenty of time to change her mind if she wants to (shes only 20).
I didn't, originally. Now that I have them, I wouldn't change that. But, before the first one, children were not on my plan for life. I have a friend from high school that made a pact with me that we'd never have children. I broke it.......she didn't. We're both 37.



I never really wanted children.
I agreed to having 1 a few years after we were married... Agreed is not really the right word.. I wanted 1 at that point. But no more than 1.. So we agreed that 1 would be it
Worked fab for us.. Our family of just the 3 of us, well, it's been an amazing adventure.. And I wouldn't change it or trade it for the world.

I have always wanted kids and now I am 24 yrs. old, married for 6 years and have 3 wonderful little boys!
I never really had a chance to decide whether or not I wanted kids-I had my older 2 in high school. Now, I can't imagine my life without any kids.
I know i wanted kids, but i wanted to wait a few more years, after some more school was completed, and after i got a bit higher in the ranks, but I am excited to be a mommy, and to have a baby to run after and stuff.
My husband felt the same way, but i know hes even more excited than me.
All in all I wouldnt change this time for anything.
Mom to be Mrs. Carter, to Charles F. Carter :D

Never really wanted kids... but now I have my DD, who I love more than life, and soon to be DS who I cant wait to meet!! =D So I chose other.
I voted other. At one point when my husband and I were dating/first got married, we didn't want kids, at all, ever. But we changed our minds after a few years and decided to have children. We're still somewhat undecided as to how many, if we're done or not. We didn't want our daughter to be an only child (DH was an only child, he wanted his daughter to have someone to grow up with). I'd rather have an even number of children (I grew up in a family of 3 and was the youngest and only girl. Of course, my brothers always excluded me from everything and I was way too sheltered). If we had more, I'd want 2 more and that's it. But, not any time soon. I think the next two will have a slightly bigger gap than these two. I'm going on Mirena soon, and hopefully sometime within the next 5 years I'll make a decision one way or the other!
Actually, my DH and I tell people all the time when they ask how we got together that we (HE) had 3 rules when we started dating: 1) We weren't moving in together, 2) We weren't getting married, and 3) We weren't having any kids. HA!!
Back in the day I used to say I never wanted kids. And then some of my friends started getting pregnant and having babies and well that kinda changed my mind. Also, I was told I was unable to have children.. something about my uterus but what do you know... she's was wrong!
