Why do you have/want kids?

What are your reasons for wanting kids? Or if you already have kids, why did you decide to have them?

Was it to save your marriage?
Did/are you gonna have kids for your own entertainment?
To have someone who would take care of you when you grow old?
Maybe it’s to carry on your family name, leave a legacy, and a bloodline?
Or is because you just love kids so it’s only natural for you to have them?
Do you think it’s just human nature and part of having a “family”?
Did you just want to experience childbirth?
Perhaps you wanted to let your children experience life?
Maybe you want grandchildren?

Or maybe you just don’t know?

for my interests and likes in life :)

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

Still not sure why because kids don't see like the greatest investment ever but my grandmother was ill recently and everyone turned up to get her medicine and remind her when to take it, wait for her to get out if the operation theatre.

She is an independently wealthy lady with her cook, Driver, maid so she doesn't need financial support but moral support. She herself has said that her parents, older siblings, cousins, friends are dead and when you're young you think your support system will last forever but when you start having kids it seems so redundant to begin another one but in the future things change and your support system shifts to your new family.

Obviously that isn't the case with everyone since there are plenty of parents who have numerous kids who don't feel supported.

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

It's sorta like the fitra ... Ain't it?

Kids are an opportunity to bring new faculties of humanity to the fore ... Leadership responsibility, justice, teaching, caring, charity, patience, happiness, joy, exercise, and so much more ... If we internalise it ... Children complete us ... Give meaning to marriage beyond selfish reasons.

I fancy having someone to call my minion and a pet wouldn't cut it. That be my reason...for now that is. But that could change.

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

I don't want to have kids for no reason. Is something seriously wrong with me?

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

I'd like kids, you know, if I wasn't the one responsible for them. I can barely take care of myself.

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

You are only a junior member ... nothing wrong with you ...

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

yea pretty much. Its scary to think what if I am unable to provide for them, take care of them, what if I am unable to send them to school. Thats a lot of responsibility. I find myself struggling with my own stuff and I don't think this will change anytime in future. Its just scary thinking about kids

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

Exactly, and with the way the worlds going I'm not sure I want to bring life into a society like this.

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

To destroy other peoples’ wedding day.

Re: Why do you have/want kids?

Tbh I'm not sure. I want one, I really do, but I can't pinpoint why exactly. I see how much love and care kids here get from pretty much every relative, no matter of the relation (papa ki mama ki khala ki beti etc etc), and I know they'll love mine just as much....the idea of having someone who (kind of) looks like me, and is half of me out in this world in the future is scary and thrilling at the same time..... who knows.
