that's a weird stock photo

if anything, they make me wanna put off having a kid longer :S

Yes! I definitely want a baby and if I could do it right now I would, but we are going to wait until college is done with and we have jobs ... oh and when we are married We will be married in about 2 years and then the kids will come about 3-4 years! I am super excited and can't wait!!!!!

No way Jose...

Not really...

I'm at the point in my life that I'm married and settled down and that all of my friends are starting families so I really want them...

It makes me want them less. Sorry, but it just does not look like fun.

Yes, actually. It seems like I'm the last of all my friends to have children and I hate getting asked all the time, "So when are you having kids?" Good think my husband and I had planned on starting a family this year.

I'm really odd, but I really really want the pregnancy belly thing...I dunno, it's always been appealing to me. The female body does amazing things!

I am getting married this year (In August), and more than ever I've been itching to have babies, lol... My fiance and I want to start a family within the next two years... I want to so bad!

i'm not single, but i don't see the appeal of babies right now. they are so much work and it seems like that's all the parents talk about is how great their kid is.
boring...

No, just the opposite. My biological clock should be ticking because I'm in my upper 30s but I don't want to have kiddies just yet.

It definitely makes me want to have kids, but I just know that the time isn't right now and that someday it will be. So, until then, I can be a baby sitter for all my friends

No, because we're done having children - our immediate family is complete.

I'm so over it. So stop asking me when I'm going to do it, people!

I'm already a Mom, but seeing people having babies around me makes me want another one SO bad.

Everyone I know that have children seem really happy but I still don't want them or to get married.

Well, now that I'm married and READY to have children myself, yes, I get really excited when I see a baby and it reminds me of how badly I want one myself! My husband and I plan on trying to get pregnant later this year and I can't wait.

Other: My friends seem tired and miserable -- I'm having way too much fun being almost married and enjoying doing things with just my fiance and no screaming children in tow.

I've always said I wanted to be married AT LEAST 5 years before having children, so no children in the near future for me, thankfully. I wish my friends would stop reproducing -- all I hear about is "my baby this" and "my baby that" and, no offense, but I don't want to hear about their offspring anymore than they want to hear about my research in the lab!

i dont want kids at all! But i feel bad for my friends that do and cant have them. Wish we could switch girly parts. Somebody needs to figure out how to transplant my good pieces for someone who needs/wants them!

Nope. Children do not excite me or my husband whatsoever.

I'm too young to think about that. When I see people my age having kids, I actually think "What the hell is wrong with you"

Ugh, I'm actually pregnant and it sucks. I dunno what I'm doing, I HATE kids.... This should be a DearSugar post, lol.

He!! to the no! I think they are nuts!

I currently have a baby nephew and niece, and my youngest cousin is only 6 mos old. I have enough babies around to be excited about.

Well I am married for 4 years and 31. Everyone is asking us all the time "what are you waiting on" or "you are not getting any younger"...wow way to motivate. I say no way...i enjoy going dancing when I want...to the movies when I want...not cooking if I dont want too. Getting in the car and going! My friends all seem so tired and boring...they complain all the time about how their husbands dont help. NO THANKS!

my sister just had a girl, and my friend had a boy, and it really makes me realize that i am COMPLETELY not ready to have a baby. I'm not ready to give up my independence and i love being single waaaaay to much to settle and have a kid now.

I cannot wait to be a mother, however right now the plan is to have children in around 5years. So yes but not for awhile.

OTHER: I was the first of everyone I knew to have a kid, I was 17 and we're all done having babies, we stopped at three.

-Brookrene, doctors have actually performed uterus transplants. I saw a program I think on Discovery Health about two sisters, one had three kids and the other couldn't have any. So the sister with the children was done having kids, so she gave her uterus to her sister, who successfully gave birth to her own child after that. It was a nice story, just thought you'd like to know.

Other. I don't want to have kids ever so it's nice to see other people doing and being happy with their kids. I can live vicariously through them so I never have to do it myself.

Ugh yes. My boyfriend's aunt just had a baby last August, so he is now eight months old, starting to walk, and has eight teeth. He's growing so fast that we can't even keep up with him, especially while we're away at school. Today I spent a few hours playing with him, and I must say that I can't wait to be married and have kids! In a few years of course ... not while I'm still in university!

hmm . .not so much.

a lot of my friends are a bit older. so when they started getting married and having babes, i was over the moon about the little f*ckers . . .

(my BFF is pregnant right now with her and her hubby's first kid, and i am already buying crap for the kid- she's like 4 mouths pregnant)

but i'm not at the point in my life where i want children. i make pretty good money, but i'm not married . . .and as of right now, i don't want to be married.

and i don't really want to take care of a kid right now. you have to really give them attention . .and feed them . . .and clean them . . .and play with them some more . . .at some point feed them again . . .

I want a baby sometimes but not right away. Thank god none of my friends are pregnant yet.

Not at all.

Being around babies reinforces that I never want to have one.

no!

Heellll to the no. Babies are such a hand full, your life changes drastically whether you want it to or not. Sure, their cute and lovable but their also ALOT of work.

I am not ready for kids right now. Im not even close, I would like to have kids when I am finanically, mentally, emotionally, and physically stable.

I have fun playing and loving my friends kids but I am SO happy that I get to go home without them. There's just so much I can handle right now. I am happy with my life and have some goals I need to accomplish before I have kids.

LOL @ some of these responses so far!

They're cute and all, but:

1. They do seem like a lot of work.

2. I am still way 2 selfish and enjoy going out 2 sacrifice anything else any more than I already am.

3. I'm having way 2 much fun being semi-married and doing things with my fiance at the moment.

4. We have 2 dogs and I feel tied down enough just having them around!

5. It also freaks me out about how you cant drink for almost 2 years (while prego and while breastfeeding)

6. I'm still kinda trying 2 lose weight, not really excited about gaining more!

It bugs me that the quiz options are basically, yes, yes, and "I'm having fun being single."

1) It implies that neither of the first two options include the case of having fun being single.

2) There's no option (humorous or otherwise) for "I have no plans to have kids, single or not."

I guess that's what "Other" is for, but it sure makes it seem like you're supposed to fit into one of the first three options.

heheh..definitely no! I personally have never wanted kids to begin with and little has been done to change my mind. I was surprised to see so many ladies on here feeling the same way I feel...I'm the only person of ALL my friends who doesn't really want kids and never has. Sometimes I feel as if there is something odd about me for feeling like this in this seemigly baby-obsessed culture.
But its nice to see there are quite a few ladies out there who don't think that breeding is necessarily the way to enlightment! Thanks girls!

I am on the ten year plan, so it seems...so I'll be like 37 when I have a kid by this point in my life.

Lol at TidalWave's comment!

NO...NO...AND NO!!! I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD AND I AM FINISHED. HE IS BECOMING A LITTLE MAN. NO MORE FAT BELLY AND DIAPERS!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! IT ONLY GET'S BETTER FROM HERE!!!!

Yes it does

kids are scary

I couldn't possibly agree more with JenFan! I've always thought pregnancy was gross and babies were ugly and annoying, and at 27, I'm starting to think I will always feel this way.

I'm a practicing artist, and also working on my PhD, and for me, academic and artistic accomplishments mean way more than spawning -- that's something animals do all the time! It's not exactly an achievement, and I don't enjoy hearing about people's icky pregnancy and childbirth stories, or how "intelligent" their spoiled brats are.

My boyfriend and I have talked about this, and I think he may want kids someday, which scares me. I'm hoping he will see the greatness of ADOPTION!!!

ive been married for almost 3 years and im still in college so me and my hubby are putting off kids till i graduate.. but i totally want one soo much!!! my bff is preggers, and that totally makes me want one of my own too lol

When I see married people or pregnant women, I want it to. However, I don't really want children, so it's weird. I just feel like it's such a wonderful experience feeling a life forming inside of you, but I wouldn't want to raise a child for 18 years. Getting married seems fun for the wedding planning and wedding day part (and being with the man you want to spend the rest of your life with), but I'm too young for that, now.

Seeing other people playing with their kids
always makes me want a child of my own.
But I really don't want children.
And I don't want to go pregnancy and all that
afterwards.

Nope, it confirms for me that my husband and I made the right choice of being child-free. We're enjoying married life, without children. It's a lovely lifestyle, and it's the right one for us.

no way! and just because my friends are doesn't mean i want to..it's not like picking up a new hobby...it is starting a new life! i definitely want to wait til im much older and in my 30's
