Welcome to Gaia! ::

its not that ive never been in a relationship or stuff
i think part of it for me is that i have a serious phobia of children and the whole pregnancy thing, i suppose ill grow out of it, (i am only 17) but for now i have no intentions of even risking having to sqeeze out a baby the size of a watermelon through my.......

Choice, simply that. Trust me I've had plenty of chances to loose it and I could have. But I don't want to yet. I intend on waiting till the right moment and a time where I could anything caused by it.

If I would have a child, I would want one through adoption. I think it might be better like that, but I know for sure that I can be proven wrong. And just because I say I want to adopt today, I could change my mind a month from now. This has happened before. gonk

I know that having a kid is something quite scary. But I think that kids are unbelievably great. Its true that they do make you grow up because you need to care for someone else and make sure that nothing bad happens to them. But in it of itself makes it even more wonderful to me, because it gives my life more purpose. That is why I want four. blaugh

FOUR?! oh my! neutral
iv just got no maternal instinct, not at all, and you'd think at least some of it would hav kicked in by now. you know how women go all cutesie and talk funny to babies and go broodyish when they see one?
i run a mile when i see a child, i do the cutesie, talk funny, broody ting when i see a chicken or a guinea pig.
i dont mind kids when they're about 5/6+ cos then they'll talk to you and you get to paint with them and play hide an seek, but any younger than that and i dunno i just get freaked out sweatdrop

yea, i was all for adoption till my auntie adopted and the kid is insane. she was only 4 when she was taken off her real family but i guess it shows bad experiances hav a huge impression even on young kids. the girl used to be left alone in the house for days on end and had to eat cigarette butts to stay alive neutral now she wont be left alone or she hits the roof, and she's really attention seeking and weird around food. its totally understandable but id hav trouble coping.
guinea pigs are so much better behaved lol
But i suppose evn if i dont have any, if you do have 4 kids you can make up for mine 3nodding razz

i suppose if you could help then and have the patience to do so it would be wonderful, it bugs me when celebrities go to afica etc and adopt a few babies and bring them home, cause there are thousands of kids here that have been through half their life without a stable family and really do need a home. not saying these african kids dont need familys but i think they need just as much love at age 7 etc, yet no1 seems to want them .
