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.

  • Honestly, I never wanted kids. Well, I thought about adopting in the future (around 35 or so) but wasn't 100% sure. But, now that I have my DD I wouldn't trade her for anything!

  • This is how I felt, although my kids are growing on me. :)  Sometimes I'll see a little baby and think, "Oh I want another baby!", but then I remember the sleepless nights and crying and think, never mind!!

    I always wanted tons of babies! Now that I had one I wish they'd tie my tubes. One is enough lol. I love my DD though.

  • When I was in high school I thought I would never marry or have kids. I dreamt of moving to New York and becoming either a fashion designer or singer. I imagined that when I was in my thirties I might adopt a child, but never have any of my own. I also imagined raising that adopted child by myself LOL. When I met my boyfriend(now DH) I started thinking about having kids. Still imagined waiting til I was thirty. I got pregnant when I was 22 and wouldn't change it for the world. I had a dream a while ago that I had my dream life and all the while I was looking for my DH and son. I woke up crying. So thats that LOL

  • No. I never wanted kids, I didn't want to be a mom or be tied down for the rest of my life, and I also hated cats.

    I am now married, I have two kids and a cat.

    What in the hell happened to me??? Life.

  • There was a time I didnt want kids, but it had more to do with the man I was with than my no wanting to be a mother...I just didnt want HIM to be a father. 

    When my husband and I got together, that went away. With him, I wanted children...and have them.

  • I never ever wanted children.Even as a small child.My mom would tell me that even as y0ung as three I would tell people that I never wanted to have babies.I want to be an archaeologist and travel the world.Now I'm a mom of two holy terrors and wouldn't give them up for any thing in the whole world.I love being a mom.It's the best thing in my life to have two children walk p to you and say,"I love you mum ma."My daughter refuses to call me mum ma or mom though.So she calls me by my first name.I hate it.In fact when I found out that I was pregnant with my son I cried and didn't want to believe it.So I had my ex read the test to confirm it.I was mixed fillings when I found out that I pregnant with my daughter.Looking back now.If you would of told me that I was going to be a mother to two wonderful children or a mother period.I would of laughed in your face and called you a liar.I'm so happy that I'm a mom though.

  • i never wanted to give birth to kids. the whole pregnancy thing is disgusting as far as i'm concerned.

    i wanted to be with a guy who HAD kids so i could be the other parent or adopt.

    however, i had one, and now preggers with twins.  and other than going through the pregnancy, its cool.
