There're many families today which don't wanna have kids. Some women think tjat'll stop them from developing their careers. Some guys think that'll add the burden to the family and bringing up a child is complicated and not easy at all.So I'd like to know do you like kids and would you like to have kids and bring them up? Why or Why not?

I just love kids. I always wanted to have children. I'M really happy to be 5 months pregnant. Being a mother is such a wonderfull things.
But I still respect people who doesnt want to be parents. And it's not because you don't want to have a bigger family that you don't like kids .

I have children, and am done having my family, so obviously I personally like children. I did want to point out though that there are MANY other reasons so many people are choosing not to have children anymore. These are some reasons for the people I know of personally that are choosing not to procreate.
1. Stone age sexism that dictated a woman wasn't a woman unless she was a breeder are being thrown out. Women are now realizing we have more purpose than that of an incubator.
2. Some couples choose not to contribute to an already increasing population problem.
3. Some couples don't think the world in it's current state of affairs is any place to bring a child into.
4. Some people don't have the finances to afford a child the quality of life they know it deserves, and have chosen not to be selfish and bring a child into conditions where it won't have the best of everything.
5. Some people don't believe anyone should be procreating while a few hundred thousand children languish in foster care systems.
6. Some people recognize that they don't have the necessarily qualities to be a good parent.
7. Some people simply have no parental instincts, don't like children in general enough to devote their lives to one ... and to be a good parent, that's exactly what you have to do.
I applaud anyone who thinks about the issues seriously enough to make an informed decision on whether or not they're ready to be a parent. Raising children isn't for everyone, and it's a decision that carries a lifetime commitment. There are so many people that think it's a bad decision, or a wrong one, and these particular people are still stuck in the stone ages, where a womans only purpose was to be a wife and mother. And honestly, to assume that a woman has to be a mother to fulfill her role in life is naive and backwards, and an insult to the women who make an active choice to BE parents. Instead of recognizing it as a choice they've made, it's viewed as the expected course of action.

Hey,I quite agree with you.Kids can never be your burden but your most important wealth. They're cut when they were young and you'll feel so happy to have them around you. That's really a kind of happiness,I think.Thanks for sharing! Have a good day:)
