Someday, yes, I definitely want kids.
Right now wouldn't be an ideal time, but if it were to happen I wouldn't be too upset about it. I'm not planning for kids at the moment, but accidents can and do happen, and I wouldn't be devastated.

24, and no.

People keep telling me I'll change my mind. I don't believe it.

But that's not even the point. I don't understand why it's assumed I would. Not all women change their minds and suddenly have some "biological clock" go off, so unless things change *dramatically* (more than just my non-existant desire to have kids), I'll assume that I won't ever want any. It's just the more likely outcome.

Same opinion on getting married. And on getting a boyfriend or girlfriend. Man, some people assume so much. Rolling Eyes

I was married at 43 and my wife was 35 years old at that time. I didn't really think that much about starting a family. About a month or two later, she felt it was time. I guess her biological clock was starting to tick a bit louder.

It was the first time in my life that I felt I was being pressured into having sex. Luckily she became pregnate by the next month.

It seems like when you want to have a baby, it becomes difficult to conceive whereas when you don't want one, it happens.

Looking back, I wish I've done it at an earlier age. He's a good son, but he has too much energy for me to keep up with him.

i'm 33, and yep, i want kids.
i was told when i was 14 that i'd never be able to have kids, and having had a hysterectomy last year has made sure that'll never happen. i really want some though, and perhaps that's because it's something i can't do. i always want what i can't have.
anyways, my wife and i decided quite a while ago that we'd get some kids from somewhere, adopt, steal, borrow...whatever. there are so many potential problems around her getting knocked up: legal stuff with the sperm donor (annonymous? a relative of mine? a friend? random bar pickup?) as far as names on the birth certificate, custody and all that; we have no idea if she can even get pregnant (she's a gold star lesbian! never even been kissed by a boy); and that pesky overpopulation problem. it's not like we need to add more people to the planet, and there are already loads of kids without families or homes.
so yeah, at some point we'll get some kids. we're looking at haiti (french-speaking, very friendly to foreign adoption and queer couples, lots of kids who need homes) and korea, though korea's not so queer friendly when it comes to adoption.
not now though, i'm having too much fun.
but i can't wait to start molding those little minds...

I'm pushing 40 and don't particularly care.
There are other things out there.

If I find a dude and get married, I don't care if a kid happens. If it happens, no worries. If it doesn't, no worries. Same goes with getting married.

I don't think I'm cut out for the domestic thingy, but then, who knows, things change.
