Why do people have kids?

I think have a kid for me is my life extension and love proof. Have a kid is a important station for each person. This means we should responsible for our next generation. We are adults, we should be mature little by little. kids for me is the gift from God, I recieved him with grateful. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

i have no idea why people have kids... but i have wondered that myself... i don't really get it... but maybe that's because i don't want kids... i don't know why people have them... i guess to have a family?

I had my children because I wanted to be a mom and having a child is the only way to do that. My husband and I were together for a little while before we decided that we wanted to have a family...little ones running around...another stage in our lives. It had nothing to do with emptiness but more to do with progression. We progressed from being a couple to being a family. I progressed from being a girl to being a woman to being a mother...and now to being a grandmother.

Hi ishi your question started bothering me too.Now i am also thinking that why people have kids ,and i guess your observation is correct somewhere,it is to fill the emptiness or the social pressure ,or it my be because of the rules and the customs lasting from decades,but yes this is a question to give a thought .give me the answer whenever you get.

i think having kids is a important stage in a relationship.At the time where your wife is pregnant,you care for her and she could really feel the love you given her.it's also interesting to see a baby grow up and baby's are cute in my opinion,i love watching them do things that are really cute.

So they had no idea why they have kids? Makes sense, kids are a burden financially, they cause a lot of trouble that the parent is responsible for, they're annoying, they consume time; a lot of time, and money. On the negative category. So why have kids? Well, the statement above was for teen pregnancies and unprepared financially to have children. But for those of us, (not me; I'm only 18) who are prepared to have children, having kids is one of the most amazing things in the world. First of all, you can have so much fun with your children: "take then hang gliding, ocean fishing, dirt bike riding, swimming; recreation." A double-edge of the best things in life. People have children because they need someone to love. And if you love someone, you use them as motivation to do things in life. You use that love to make the statement, "If I have nothing in life, at least I have that son or daughter of mine." Yeah, someone to hold onto; parenting love. Someone to get attached to or to bond to. It's a pretty good feeling. So then, you're willing to spend all that time, money, and effort into raising the the most precious thing in life. That child that you'd certainly give your life for: jump in front of a bus, jump off a cliff, take the pain of a bullet in the leg; yeah to save the child's life. IT'S WORTH IT!!!

At least for ladies, having a child is part of their complet experiene of enjoying life. You can hardly imagine the feeling, and you will never understand how you are grateful to your parents until you have a child. And back to the relationship, the first enthusiasm and excitement between the couple tend to turn calm, and a child strengthens the sense of responsibility to the family, which in turn is helpful for upgrading the relationship with the spouse.

I have always loved kids. I was the one that would be playing with the little kids during a holiday party at someone's house as opposed to hanging out with the adults. Kids just always seem so honest, so open, and are fun loving. How they love to play the simplest games and the laughter of children filling a room is music to my soul. While a child is probably the largest responsibility one can undertake, they are also such a blessing. I have never regretted having children. It is not easy and is quite a challenge at times but all of the work has been well worth it in my book. It really has bothered me to see people have children almost as a status symbol like buying a big house. To me you have to be really willing to give your all when you make the decision to bring a child into the world. I have noticed that the mylotters seem to share this same sentiment overall. There are so many dedicated parents that take part in the discussions.

I often wonder the same thing,my step sister is one person who should of not had any kids at all.My mom and step dad have been raising my nephew for the last 12 years and do everything for him and she does not even appreciate it all she does in complain at the way their raising him.
