I haven't been married yet, but one or two years later. Many families are Dink ones, so I am wondering if I am married, should I have kids or not?

Of course, I do. I just hope I am not infertile or I would consider myself a failure. Anyway, I am looking forward to having my own kids in a couple of years. I have been teaching primary for several years and I have been longing to teach my own kids too. What is keeping you to have kids?

I think kids is the crystal of the love between me and my husband, so people always say only there are kids, the family is complete.Sometimes kids will make some trouble, but they our hopes and dreams.^^

Children are a treasure. I would be very proud to raise my own kids in the near future. Teach them good values and responsible behaviours. They could be a headache, I know but they also bring blessings.

Wow, you really have a large and happy family. I'd like to say thank you to you, yes, financial is the first thing that determines when you can have kids and how many kid to raise.I have graduated from university for about 1 year, and I found a job in a company, the salary is not so good, maybe having kids is not so easy thing, but I will improve myself while I am working, get a good salary, then I will have kid.^^

First off - welcome to Mylot, Maggie. Having children is a very natural thing to do so maybe with you it will just happen. As there are many couples who are unable to have children when they do come they are a blessing. It will all pan out in time.

yes. Not all the women can have kids, so when we can, we'd better cherish it!

Hi there. Actually having children wether your married or not, is a big decision you and your husband need to discuss. You cant listen to other people saying wether or not you should start having babies, thats like letting other people decide on how you should live. Its totally up to you. Have a great day maggie...

In some ways I want kids and in other ways I don't....I want them cause I want to pass my experiences onto them and watch them grow and be a mother...on the other hand, there is so much to do in life (I want to travel and thats hard with kids) and with my job and writing on the side and everything else, I have so little time to do it all and having kids put put a halt to all of that.....

I am also getting married in next 2 years. And me and my fionce decided to have our child after 2 years of our marriage. Because my fionce is only 18 years and when we will be married then she will be only 21 years old so i don't want to put her in trouble in young age. So we will enjoy our first years of married life and then we will have only 2 childern. I think you should also have 2 childern. But you can take some break. Thanks

I am sorry to say I can not have 2 kids, but the twin, otherwise my husband and I will lose our jobs, that's different from your country.

Having children is a personal choice no one can say if you should or shouldnt have them. For me having children was something I always wanted to do I have been lucky met a wonderful man and we have two gorgeous little girls and also plan to add one more baby addition to our house in the next 2 years or so. Children are a wonderful blessing but only you can make the choice if having children is for you or not.
