If you're currently in any relationship which is a long term thing with your partner, what plans are you both making with regards to having kids? Do you want kids at all or you're both not interested in having kids?

How many kids do you want?
 
I'm single and I have 2 teenagers. I don't want any more. I remember how tiresome it was when they were toddlers.
 
No kids. I know how badly I would screw up their lives, so I don't want them. Also beyond the point of being able to, so...solved that problem anyway.
 
I have 0 interest in having children. I don't have the mental capacity to handle them and I don't want to bring up kids that could be miserable a large majority of their life like I have.
 
I’ve noticed how it’s a rising trend how people decide not to have kids. I fully respect their choice though. To each their own. I always wanted three, and I’ve got three. They are 3, 5 and 7 and a half currently.
 
I don't have any kids but, while I wouldn't want to have any of my own (since I simply would not ever want to be pregnant), I definitely would not mind (and would actually really like it!) if a future partner would already have 1 - 2 kids.

Curious, why you don’t want to get pregnant- if you don’t mind sharing?

I have this crazy phobia for doctors and hospitals, and I get anxiety from even potential health issues / complications and things going on with a body that are just not normal or simply different from usual. I think I would stress so much, it's just not worth it to me.

Also - I did always tell myself to try and reconsider it if I was 27 - 30 and in a healthy (longer) relationship and they wanted kids. But, my former partner got a vasectomy before he met me, so during the 7+ years we were dating, it was never something I had to think about.

I am turning 32 this year and single (2 years now), and I wouldn't want to have kids with someone whom I haven't been with for years. I don't see myself in a new long-term relationship anytime soon. If I'll ever find someone again, it'll be years from now before I would -maybe- want to have kids with someone, but I am pretty sure I don't even want to consider having kids between 36 - 40 (or older). Especially since the older you are, more complications may follow.

So, I figured it'd rather get with someone who already has kids. I wouldn't mind that they wouldn't be my own. Or, just not have kids in any way at all, of course. But to be honest, I would love to have kids in my life.

Yeah, sounds like a true struggle. :( I hope whatever happens, in the end it'll work out for ya and you find the happiness you're looking for. ❤️
