as of right now? no, i don't plan on it. but i don't know where i'm going to be or what i'm going to want in 10 years. if i did, i definitely wouldn't want any more than 3. 2, most likely.

Yes, I do intend to. But no less than two, no more than three. I don't want an only child or a huge family.

Nope.
1) It sounds so horrendously painful and not worth it when they're screaming little spawns. Plus, I'm fat enough as it is xD.
2) I live in a somewhat big family, so I'm definitely not ready to start another one.
3) I dunno, on one hand I want someone I can be close to, but sometimes when I think about being in a relationship, it just feels like I'm being tethered somehow and I don't like it. I dunno why it feels like that sometimes. Probably because I'M the one who's gonna be stuck with the kid as I'd be the only one with the organs for it :/ It just feels....unfair somehow.

Maybe someday, but definitely nowhere remotely in the forseeable future. (I'm in my mid-20s). At this point in time I'm too selfish and impatient. I like kids, but having one is a different story than playing with friends' kids, babysitting, etc!

I'd love to adopt some older kids one day! I know it's harder for them to get adopted, and I've met a lot of kids who had pretty hard lives without parents and they've always been so sweet and grateful about everything. I don't think I could have any kids biologically though.

Absolutely not!
Exhibit A: I'm ace and I don't ever want to get pregnant. Ever. Even thinking about it makes me really uncomfortable. Exhibit B: I can't stand babies or little kids at all. Their noises, attitudes, and smells are terrible. Exhibit C: Even if I decided to adopt, the kid would have to be at least 6 years old. The problem is that I don't think I would be willing to give up my independence for someone else. I don't like to have people relying on me. Exhibit D: I just have the wrong temperament for parenthood. I'm impatient, bossy, and too reserved. I would feel terrible not being able to give my potential kids the attention and love they deserve.

No. One, it'll be a miracle if I ever have any to begin with due to medical reasons. And two, I am not financially or emotionally stable to raise children.
Plus, I enjoy my freedom as an adult. I don't want to have to worry about anyone else. And I don't want to be responsible for another humans life. I'm perfectly fine with my 6 month old neice, and any other babies my brother and sister may have.

Probably not. I'm pretty sure I'm either "straight" graysexual or possibly asexual. I just have no desire for children whatsoever, nor do I want to be married. I've just never been interested in that marriage nor children.
I might end up adopting several dogs, though. Rescue dogs, most likely.

Yes, if I can find a guy able to tolerate me through our lives together X3 I have a strong desire to mother my own children. Even now, but I know it's a horrible tine for me to do so, since I'm still so young, no job, and living with my parents (who would kick me out if I got pregnant. They wouldn't disown me, but they said I wouldn't be allowed to raise a child in their house. That I need to learn responsibility and all that) If I can't mother my own, in the chance I am infertile, I wouldn't mind raising my partners kids. So if they were wanting to have their own children, I'd let them artificially inseminate someone who's willing, and I'd be happy to adopt my partners children as my own. If he didn't want to do that since I wouldn't be able to have my own, then adoption it is

i would adopt, mostly because clinical depression and anxiety run in my family. i would love a child with mental illness, of course, but i dont want to create a child knowing that theyll almost definitely have to deal with it.
also, maternity leave benefits are garbage in the united states, so it'd be easier for me as a parent to adopt an older baby.

No. At the moment, the idea of being a parent really doesn't appeal to me. Maybe that'll eventually change, but for now, I don't want to have kids.
Little kids are cute though and fun. Except when they cry. I just don't want any of my own.

Though it makes me sad when I see people say they know they won't have children because they now they can't. As someone who started to go into early onset menopause in her late teens (about 17). I definitely feel a lot of empathy for those situations. Thankfully, birth control has been able to stop me from experiencing menopause completely. I still don't want kids though, but knowing that that might not even be an option for you, is a terrible and horrifying thing.

no. i don't like kids, the idea of pregnancy and childbirth terrifies me, kids are expensive, and i have several mental illnesses that would make me a terrible parent.
