Haha, I have nothing against the act of trying to conceive a child, except for the part when the child comes in.
I basically dislike small children until maybe their teen years? Hate to be sexist, but I dislike girls more than boys, we're just too catty for my taste xD

Honestly... kids scare me :x (well a lot of things do XD)
I don't know how it would be if it was one of my own but other people's kids.. no thanks XD. My friend and I always joke that we should have kids/borrow someones kid so we don't look like huge dorks at Disney World or when we go see kid movies XD. I also LOVE toys and cartoons.. it would be nice to have someone to buy them for. I'm only 22 and single so who knows? The whole process FREAKS ME OUT. -shudder- My mom cries that she wants a grand-baby.. I point to Cody and tell her that's all she's getting~

... I love kids.
xD Kind of the odd duck out here a bit, but I really love children. I've had to take care of 20+ small children (yay cousins!!) since I myself was a kid, so it's something I've always been around.
Asian family = huge = lots of children = me totally loving kids.
(: I've always had my heart set on being a mother.

i unfortunately at this point can't have children. i would have to be put on hormone replacement drugs and everything. so it's pretty much a no to having any children.. i guess it's okay.. i'm afraid i might have a child who acts exactly like my niece and nephews who are absolutely horrible. >.< like they're.. GRRF. I hate going out with them because they have no manners what so ever. and my niece thinks she is some princess and has to have EVERYTHING her way or she will scream FOREVER. FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!now mind you.. i've been an aunt since i was one year old.. so it's nothing new to me.. but omg. these children.. i love my other nieces and nephew. they're perfect and have manners.. but these three children.. my oldest sister's children.. GRRRF. DOUBLE GRRRRF. lol. selena, i totally wish you were my sister! lol. i know.. that's weird.. but my sister lets her kids misbehave all the time especially out in public. and like i grew up where that wasn't acceptable and stuff so i look at those kids and wonder why they want to act that way too.

Oh believe me, I don't get it either. Had I acted that way in public when I was a child, I wouldn't have a butt left. Nor would I have lived to be this age. Let alone if I had acted that way at home..and screaming kids just get on my nerves so badly. >.< My son's only 4 (almost 5) but he behaves better than most 10 year olds do.
I'm from a big family too, I'm second oldest out of 8 children. We all know how to behave in public.

if I had a child of any form either it be a baby or a child between the age of 3-9 i'd kill it. TBH with my short temper and anger issues and a baby wouldn't mix with me. I get annoyed enough if my socks twist xD and if I had to put up with a baby crying all the time i'd really kill it. I'm not mean but thats one of the reasons I'd avoid having kids, though I never think about it because I don't want them Plus another reason is because I wouldn't want to end up like my mum, resorting to violance towards the child if it triggered my anger in anyway and then beating it to a pulp. I could just envision myself killing a small child because it won't shut up crying tbh :S but no i'll never be interested in sex, marrage or children and i'm sick of people saying "but your only 16 you'll change" ohh no I have my furrykids and they are good enough for me :3 and i'd much rather get one of those metal thingies to put over my jiblets saying "sorry out of use" xD

I don't really like small children. I'm good with kids though, apparently... I suppose I'm a big kid myself so they kinda relate. I don't like it when they're mouthy/rude/obnoxious, I like them to be well-behaved and happy. Whingy ones annoy me the most.
I wouldn't really want a baby, though. Not now anyway. I hate things like sick, dribble, poo and snot - so mopping up after a kid would make me very weak-stomached. lol. I hate it when my dogs do it as it is - it'd be worse with a child!
JonO and I will probably think about it in the future, depending on where our careers are headed. If I manage to crack this journalism degree, and he becomes a successful artist, I think a kid would just get in the way. The career paths we've chosen don't really allow for children, to be honest. If I start writing my own magazine, if I'm stuck at home with a sick child, the mag won't write itself. Then it'll be my fault if readers stop buying it etc. Same with Jono and his artwork - if he's illustrating something, his bosses or commissioners won't let up on him for looking after kids either.
I think I'd like a little girl one day, though. It's BS that they're always catty or pretend to be princesses. My neices arn't like that at all, they're a lot like me in personality - animal loving, sociable, don't complain, gentle and overall very loving. It's the twin boys that are supposedly my cousins I can't stand...they're rough, noisy, disrespectful and violent. That probaby affected my preference in gender to a degree. Plus, I love my mum to bits, we have a really close relationship. So I suppose I'd like that with my own daughter one day.
I think it depends on how you raise your children though. My boyfriend was allowed to get away with anything as a young child and so now he's somewhat lazy and has little motivation. (Sorry Jono lol.) I generally leave him to it, as it's his life = his consequences. As he was (apparently, I wasn't born haha) a cute little boy, always sleepy and shy, he's kinda been pampered and submissive...I love him dearly though, but I would raise a boy in a totally different way to that. It's nothing to do with me really, his mum can raise her kids how she wants, but I think sons benefit from discipline and boundaries, as well as enthusiasm and praise. My cousins are never punished, nor are they given any affection; it's made them into brats!

To be honest, I personally, would rather adopt a child than have one. Because I'm more into women than men, if I end up with a woman, the only way either myself or her would have a baby would be IVF. I don't really want to bring another child into the world when, there are thousands without parents.
I had an okay relationship with my dad but, I have a bad one with my mum. I wasn't raised by my parents but, rather, my dad occasionally but, my cousin is my legal guardian. So, I've grown up with quite a few 'problems'. I'm pretty sure I'd make a bad mum anyway XD
But yeah, I want a Polish Chicken slightly more than a human baby. :/

I voted yes, I would very much like to have children... Except for the actual giving birth part. Ick. It does not seem fun.

I voted yes, I would very much like to have children... Except for the actual giving birth part. Ick. It does not seem fun. Hah I totally agree! However, I am very much the anomaly amongst people I know when it comes to child birth. I do not wish to have my child naturally and am hoping that I am able to opt for a C Section. I have had 9 surgeries in my life, one which left me with a 9 inch scar on my left side, so I really don't see an issue in having a C Section scar along with it all. I would prefer surgery than to have to push a baby out of the nether-regions...

Yeah, I -totally- agree with you Ela. I definitely want to have a C section. Besides, the scars aren't as bad now-a-days anyway. And geez, thats alot of surgeries! I hope you don't need anymore.

I'm thirteen.. and I hate children =_= they are so annoying sometimes. If i ever wanted a child, I would adopt because child birth seems extremely painful =_=

I never knew that Faded... When did you decide this? I thought you were having a girl named Brooke? And I also have thought about this a lot. Many people tell me I am made for having children. I don't think I have the guts to have something that big in me. I am not a very carefull person. I think I might adopt. And I already pick names for them.
