sharksarecute Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I hope you dont mind me, as an older member answering this :cool: I am in my late 30s (ancient, I know) and as yet have no kids. I guess the biggest reason for me leaving it so long, is because I dont believe in having kids outside of marriage (I know these days its unusual, and while its OK for others to be unmarried parents if they so choose, its not OK for me). I wasnt lucky enough to meet my gorgeous husband earlier I spent my 20s with the wrong person, and I never really wanted kids with him. Plus, in my 20s I was too busy travelling around the world and establishing my career, too busy to think about kids. So, I broke up with him and several years later met my prince charming. We got married a year ago, and since then have ben trying for a baby. Ive already had one miscarriage (tough) and I fear that due to my age it may never happen. So my advice... experience life, have some fun and establish yourself before starting a family... doing things like that are much harder with kids... but dont leave it too long.

Emma Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yes, I would love to have a child. Not now though as im only 17 & wouldn't be able to handle it. But yes, I would adore a little girl later on in life Boys are okay too I guess - But I have always dreamed of having a wee girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Im 17 (nearly 18) and I know one day I would love to have children. Like you Emma I would love a little girl, I dont know why I think its because of the closenes I have with my mum, I want that with a daughter. But I would also love a boy, maybe one of each. I also if it happens would love to have them when I am quite young, I dont know why just like the idea of being a young mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingwithoutwings Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'd love to have kids one day! I like the idea of being a "young-ish" mum, say, in my 20s. I'd love to have either a boy, or a girl. Preferably a little girl, hehe. But as long as they're healthy, I don't mind. I love the name Leilani Marchelline. I'm set.
