why do people have a child?

people have children for many many different reasons, While it is certainly true they change your life for ever, it is not something to enter into easily, lightly or because someone else wants you to.

I think that some people aren't designed to be parents. I never thought I was, never in a million years thought I'd actually want to go through the birth process, but as I got older, met my husband, bought a house, etc. the desire to share the love that we have for each other with a child that was created by BOTH of us, was a natural thing for me.

NO it's not amust to have a child. You only have one if you believe in yourself that you can commit yourself to parenthood. It's a 24/7 job. No vacation leave, no sick leave....you have to be on the go. So don't be forced into it if you don't feel ready for it, much more if you don't like kids.

it is not a must to have a child just because your aprents want you to. but you surely have to have your partner's consent in this. in case you don't plan to have a kid, tell your spouse beforehand.

No, it is not a must, and I firmly believe you should not have children unless you truly desire them. I don't know why most people have children, but my partner and I started talking about it after being together for 3 years. we were goofing off on the couch one day, making each other laugh, when he said, "You know, we have too much love and fun for just two people... wouldn't it be awesome to have another person here to share it with?" And soon after, we both got baby crazy... we started talking about what would happen when I got pregnant, and within the next couple of months we conceived. Our love outgrew us. In another few weeks we will have a son to pour all this extra love into, and we will be a family. That is the only reason I am having a child... to love, and nurture, and learn from. I can't wait to get to know who this person is... this little man who came from somewhere else, from my DNA, a person made up of half myself and half the person I most love and admire. If you aren't ready, or are never ready, please do not let other's opinions influence you. If a child won't enhance and enrich your life, there is no reason to have one.

I have been married for 5 years and we still have no children, it may be five more years, and we may never have children at all. If you don't really like children, or at least the responiblity of them, then there is not reason for you to have them. I know how it feels to be pressured to have children, my husbands parents want grand children bad, this is probably part of the pressure that your parents are feeling also, so they put it on you. I don't know what it is, but I have no interest in children and because of that it makes it even less of a must for me.

Actully it is not important to us that we must have any child but I lesten that a woman will complete to get a child otherwise she is not complete woman. And I think the children are gift of god so we should accepte their.

Having children is not a definite must when it comes to marriage. Some people decide to have children, some people do not. Having children is up to both people involved in a marriage and should be choosen if you don't want kids. You have to do what's right for you.

im a little different, i cant wait to have kids, and i plan to have like 5 or more! but thats just me, and i love kids, i think it wold be so fun just to have a big close family. but dont let your parents pressure you into having kids. if you dont want one, thats fine, its your dissision whether or not you want them. no one can force you. it does not matter what they wants. but if you do get married, make sure thats what your husband wants to. or else it might cause problems later. whatever you choose, make sure its what YOU want. dont do it to make someone else happy.

Usually it is a need you feel or just something that you have always wanted . But if you don't feel the time is right for you or if you just don't want to have any then there is no reason why you should . Not everyone feels cut out to be a parent the same as not everyone is cut out to be a lawyer , doctor , or teacher or anything else in life . You don't have to feel bad for not liking children as this isnt' something that makes everyone happy . Enjoy who you are and don't feel bad for not liking something . This is what makes us all unique in life :)
