Do you want kids and/or marriage?

whirlpool · 24-09-2013 02:02AM #1

What age are you, and are you hoping for kids and/or marriage in the future?

I'm unsure, myself. I've always wanted kids. But then I think about actually having the responsibility of kids, and I rethink things. :pac:

Marriage, not sure.

You?

Edit: I meant to add a "not sure" option, and now I can't edit the poll. Sorry!

I'm not entirely sure if I want toast or Weetabix for my breakfast in the morning.

Ciderswigger · 24-09-2013 02:08AM

27, no and nope.

hansfrei · 24-09-2013 02:09AM

Yes.

I struggled for 20 mins just now over whether or not I should set my alarm for 8.56 or 8.59. And you come here asking me what I want to do with kids and shít. What is the world coming to.

I don't want kids and I don't really see the point in getting married. But I'm young and change my mind a lot.

Caonima · 24-09-2013 02:12AM

Didn't want either, but in the last year ended up with both. Life is strange like that.

Me and you should get married and try for kids.

1) Deffo but am getting old now don't want to be too old having kids so may end up not having any.

2) Sometimes hope I will be, other times lately I think getting married doesn't amount to a whole lot.

Amirani · 24-09-2013 02:57AM

Definite yes on children. Most likely no on marriage.

nbar12 · 24-09-2013 03:04AM

marriage is a waste of money, so are children but you could train your children to be your slaves which would be great

I'm 22, I've already created spawn and I don't know what to think of marriage.

It's the union between two people.

21. The third option, I would want to be in a relationship with the mother but not necessarily married to them.

Ghost Buster · 24-09-2013 08:33AM

Not at the moment. Im up since 6am with one of the feckers.

Legs.Eleven · 24-09-2013 08:52AM

I'm definitely decided on kids (I want them) having spent the weekend with my niece and nephew. Kids are da bomb. Marriage - I have no interest but if I have to for the sake of the kids I will but I'd like to live in a country where it's not necessary.

Got married just over 1.5 years ago. No kids yet but we do have a cat which my wife wants to dress up...DONT JUDGE US, JUST BECAUSE OUR CHILD IS A LITTLE HAIRY!!!

MurdyWurdy · 24-09-2013 09:00AM

I'm 29 and am married with a kid - so yes

One if the reasons we got married when we did was because we wanted to start a family. I wanted the security if being married first. I wouldn't have intentionally had a baby before we were married.

Our cat is our other baby. I make sure he knows he'll always be my first baby. We are that sad. I've never dressed him up though but I did put one of the baby's bandana bibs on him the other day and he looked pretty smooth!

Have 2 minions and due to be married very soon, have the worst case of cold feet though :-(

Uriel. · 24-09-2013 09:07AM

If you asked me this question 5 years ago, I would have laughed in your face, took a long gulp from the whiskey glass, and maybe even have fallen down at some stage...

Now...

it's all so different, amazing how a mindset changes... found the girl I want, hoping to tie the knot in the next couple of years, and I want some minions down the road to do the hoovering and cleaning and what not.

Tis a funny oul life.

How is marriage a waste of money?

Itwasntme. · 24-09-2013 09:09AM

I don't want kids or marriage but I am in my twenties and everyone and their mother seems to be asking me this question these days. I don't think it will be long before my dad starts offering random men cows to marry me instead of the reverse

Frank Black · 24-09-2013 09:19AM

I'm not really into the idea of kids or long term commitment which is unfortunate as I'm married with 2 kids.

24-09-2013 09:21AM

Marriage not an option for us here but we are as good as. Have one child already and the target is for 3 more. In fact some sudden dietry changes make me suspect we are pregnant again but I am saying nothing until she tells me. Have to act all surprised and stuff

mayobumblebee · 24-09-2013 09:32AM

i didnt really want either but i found my fella and i really wanted to get married
absolutely not on the kids though. im 30

_Redzer_ · 24-09-2013 09:35AM

Marriage yes, kids fuck no

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 24-09-2013 10:11AM

Not really tbh.

I used to think I wanted kids but not marriage, but the older I get the more disgusted I get at the thoughts of dedicating my life to an ungrateful little brat who'll spend my money and melt my head. For me, I don't see any positives to having kids. They're gross and they cost a fortune.

Marriage, I don't know. I'm not as horrified at the thoughts of it as I once was, but considering I can't even commit to a perfume that I wear, I can't see myself ever being ready to commit that much to a man.

25, btw

Ush1 · 24-09-2013 10:16AM

I'm not married an just found out I'm gonna be a dad.

Hope to get married after although it's not a huge deal to me.

DeanAustin · 24-09-2013 10:19AM

Always thought I'd want kids and then had one and found out what hard work they are. Have to say I'd wavered on a couple of occasions over the last year on whether I believe I'm up to it but have now adapted and seeing the little fella gives me more pleasure than anything else I've ever done in life. Still hard work and I don't know how I'd have coped in my teens or early 20s with it but I love being a dad and I can't wait for him to get older to get even more value out of him.

Marriage...yes. I'm not yet but I want to give my child(ren) the most secure environment to grow up in. I know it's not for everyone and there are arguments against it but, for me, it's something I need and want.

remsburgsgirl · 24-09-2013 10:37AM

Kids...9 years ago I said never....9 years ago I found out I was pregnant...

Marriage...more the romantic idea of being his wife & him my hubby, than any other reason...

...Fast forward on life >>>> I am home with a 1.5 year old and 6 months pregnant, 9 year old at school

My opinion on marriage now...I'm a lucky woman if it does eventually happen, as we are the complete opposite of that family on the ad on telly, where 'Kate' has been through 3 jobs, 4 moves and 20 bloody children & she's still 'Kate'...My hubby to be would be the 'Kate'
