Some people see kids as a means of accomplishing goals that they themselves never did, others just want to love them. Why do you want to have children? What do you want from them?

I want children because I love my man ( I'm not married yet but who knows maybe in the future? ) and I want him to be the father of my babies. I also am dying to become a mother... I can't explain how I really feel about this but when I think about having kinds, it's like I'm in love and I feel butterflies in my belly hehe, it's a great feeling to have and hopefully I will have kids in the near future :)

I want my children for immortality. Even after I die, there will always be a part of me that still lives.

I honestly never did want to have children because I knew it would be a hard thing for me to do to raise them right. I had one and tried my very best and I think i did a great job even though she chooses to do all of the wrong things in life. She knows better!

I do love kids, but i will not have children until i can provide a good situation to them. in China today, the childhood is the terrible memory for lots of children. not only the school work is heavy, but also they have to learn something what other kids are learning, no matter they like it or not. the imagination here has been killed. besides, the load of raising a child is becoming heavier and heavier. i hope i can provide a good environment for them to develop their abilities, do what they really want and become who they are.

the only thing that i want for my kids is to escape child labor, since child labor are very very very rampant here in our country, the Philippines.... especially those kids who work under the heat of the sun on the rice plantation field... their education are ruined because they frequent absent in school because their presence is in the heat fields....

Child is a gift, which the child is descendant that will continue the regeneration of his parents. Having children is wonderful thing where parents can share the love for their child.

I want kids to keep my family alive, just like a dynasty and to keep my nation alive. If I could, I would have many kids and I would like to raise them well and make them respectable people in the society. So this is why I would like to have kids some day.
