    Do you want children in the future? How many would you want? Would you rather have a boy or girl, if any? If you don't want children, why not? Aaand if you're someone who already has kids (which is most likely a very small portion of the community), how has being a parent been treating you so far? :D

    I do want children. Probably about 4 would be great? I'd like it to be 2 boys and 2 girls, with two of them probably being adopted. Idk. I like kids.

    I'd really like to have kids! They're pretty cool and I feel like in general it would be a great experience. Kids sorta complete a lot of people.

    I don't think I want to. It would be far too much work for me to put up with. Once when I was at work - three years ago I think, a mother in the parking lot had her children scampering around and she advised me never to have kids. Not really hard to see why!

    I'd love to have one kid, and if I/my wife/girlfriend/whatever could handle it, have another one. :3

    Yes, being a good mother is one of my long-term goals in life.

    I don't really mind the specific amount or sex/genders, but I'd probably stop at 2 (or 3 if they were spread apart a lot of years), because I don't want to stretch myself too thin. I want to be able to support each one comfortably and equally, financially and emotionally.

    I will probably not have children for quite a while, though. I'd like to make sure I have a very stable income and living situation.

    i'll have kids with you
    I'm undecided. I'm not adamantly opposed to having children but I'm not sure I'd make a good parent either. I can hardly fend for myself, let alone a whole separate life.

    I definitely want to have children sometime in the future. I'm not sure how many, but probably two or three. Of course I would like it to be a boy and a girl, but you can't really control that xD

    My father's side of the family has a tradition to get 2 boys, with the oldest being born in a year ending with a 7 (not kidding, it goes back to at least 1897), so I guess I'll be getting 2 boys, with the first one being born in 2027 xD

    I don't really want children. But if I do end up deciding to have one (the more I hear "you're too young to decide, you'll want children eventually!" the less I want to have any though, especially if it's a guy telling me) I'm going to adopt. Avoiding the pain of childbirth as much as I can and giving a home to a child who's already born who needs one.
