    I have 3 beautiful daughters.
    I wouldn't swap them for any material good in the world.
    Was my life better before them............
    HELL YES

    I had money, i could lie in bed all day, i could watch tele, read the paper, go to a match, have a hangover ie do the hell whatever i wanted.

    People who say their life is better after having kids are liars or their life must have been pathetic before that.

    If that's your only concern, the bump doesn't show from behind.

    The big fat arse and the strange leaning backwards waddling walk is though.

    Have a baby. I hear that at your age, it is the one perfect antidote to broodiness. You will be completely cured of it for next 15 years or so, at least.

    Mind children full time for a few months - perhaps next summer.

    I love kids, I really do. I enjoy working with them. I may even have some in the very distant future. But if one thing will make you unbroody, that will.

    Get a kitten or two kittens - much better fun and less expensive.

    Ok now tell me great reasons not to be..

    I was changing a nappy there a while back and my son pissed in my eye.

    I think my other son put my car keys out the letterbox today and I can't find them.

    Same son has a pathological need to watch Tiny Pop TV channel from 7AM onwards when you were out drinking until 5. And watch means interactively watch: no slouching. And watching must be done with parent who is most trying to sneak up to bed.

    I'm getting an average of 4 hours sleep a night.

    There.

    Enjoy your 20s you nut. :)

    You have all the time in the world.

    Not really an AH answer, but here it is anyway:

    Absolutely the worst thing about having children is the knowledge that if your child dies, your life will be blighted forever. Loving someone leaves you open to being hurt, either by them, or by life jumping up and biting them. The love you have for your child is terrifying in its intensity.

    A lot of people here have said that having a child means your life is over. It's not.

    I have seen what the loss of a child does to parents, it's hell on earth. If you have a child, you will live with the knowledge of that possibility all your life.

    Think about that - it might just scare you enough to stop you feeling broody.




    I'm here all week folks. :D

    op just cop the fack on you dont really want a baby like its just a moving screaming pop machine!....

    finish your education and enjoy yourself when doing it, then enjoy your life for another few years see how things go and then decide .
    Every couple I know did nothing but fight solidly for 4 years after the baby was born!! something about a sausage and a bucket!:eek:

    Ah lads, I'm shocked. As a parent myself, I must say that have kids is great when they are over 20. Although the first 20 years are a bit rough alright

    No drinking for 9months, lots of pain/big scar,No money, even less money, no freedom, no sex :eek:, more worries that never go away!

    Why would you want kids at that age? I have a friend like that too, I was shocked when she said tbh and asked her why, her answer was " lifes passing us by, I want kids now, you need to make sacrifices in life" etc etc

    still dont understand her on that lol

    I am looking forward to having a family, every now and again I get a twinge but I am no where near ready to have a family yet.

    So everytime I think I want some I take a visit to my sisters house to play with my 2 nieces and 4 nephews and let me tell you after those visits I make sure I am always on time with my pill!

    In this day and age I think you would be utterly foolish to start a family willingly when you are not in the position to do so either emotionally, financially or with a stable home life.

    Save yourself OP.
    Our son was perfectly happy and then I played that, it made him cry! Children are great fun but they are also a huge responsibility, don't get me wrong, I love being a parent but they take up a lot of your time and you never stop worrying about them.

    Edit: just read the rest of the thread. There is nothing wromg with wanting a child in the future but having enough money, a stable relationship and being grown up enough in yourself really helps. I would have loved to have children in my late 20's but only became a mother at 36. Seeing your child upset has to be the worst thing, the first time he cried over teething I cried too, it was heartbreaking not being able to ease the pain. They are brilliant when the time is right which is not now for the OP.

    Xzanti, avoid these threads! Honestly, they are great fun but it is better if the timing is right, you are ready for a child, not everyone is.
