Family without kids

Hi, I can not imagine my life without my doughter. She is undivided part of life. whenever i see her innocent and smily face, my all tensions dissapears in seconds. I can say my doughter has brougt lot of happyness in my life.

I haven't really noticed a trend. I think that one partner, or both, usually want a child - even just to have someone to carry on their genes. Having children does make one feel annoyed, trapped, tired, aggravated, tired, overwhelmed, tired and more tired. But, children also gives one a sense of joy, unconditional love, an ever present love, pride, compassion, selflessness, adoration, love, love and more love.

Kids in general do not annoy me. Only kids with poor manners that are not being corrected by their parents annoy me. I don't want kids myself and that's because it is a huge responsibility. Apart from that, I have a lot of things that I'd like to accomplish and I don't want to have a child just to leave him or her at home all the time. Family is how you define it. It doesnt necessarily mean having children yourself.

Only reason i would not have kids, is so I wouldn't have to bring them up in this twisted world.

I currently dont have any kids, but really really do want them. I am looking forward to when my hubby can add me to his insurance so i can get maturnity coverage and we can start trying. i understand the freedom, there have been many times when i hear myself thinking how nice it is that we could go to a concert or go on a last min vacation or some of the same things. not having to worry about babysiters and leaving my kids alone all the time. but despite that i still cant wait to have kids.

I can not even understand why it is so but you are right and it is really bad because if there will be more such families there will be less people and also less genious who provide our progress in technology etc. And it is also a great happiness to see how you baby for example do his/her first steps, but such families just loose their opportunities to be happy. Even our life is given us to reproduce ourselves.

Hi Bentoyhk, and welcome to MyLot. Myself, I adore my children...AND my grandchildren...and cannot imagine life without them. I had always wanted to be a mom. But if a couple does not want children, then by all means, they should not have them, as every child deserves to be wanted. In that respect, the trend is fine. Karen

I think that it is totally up to that person whether or not they choose to have children. I would rather see someone choose to not have children than have a child or children that they are unable to take care of.

I don't really want kids and neither does my boyfriend. We are planning on getting married eventually. We know we're right for each other because of all of the issues we've dealt with over the last few months. I can't imagine being with anyone else.

Children are from the Lord. If a couple decides not to have a child, they will miss the opportunity of being a parent. Maybe, they just want to live conveniently. It's true, having a child is tiresome but it is rewarding. When I got married, I wanted to become pregnant immediately. I will never exchange my cute little boy to anyone or anything here on earth. Daniel is a gift from the Lord. My husband and I are just caretakers of this little child. We are forever grateful to the Lord for the privileged He gave us.

i think that it is the choise of the couple in weather or not to have kids but i think that main concern should be the people who have kids and dont take care of them. these are the ones we realy need to worry about. and then again stop and think about the way te world is going. don't get mewrong i do have a son but things are tough as it is
