Would you rather have a baby now or never have one at all?

If there was a hypothetical scenario where you had the choice to have a child right this moment, or never be able to have children, what would you choose?

Just curious as some people might make the decision based on their current situation (e.g. their ages, financial state, relationships, etc.) and others will answer purely if whether they want a child more than that or not.

Please answer with your individual situation - why?

I'm too young to have a kid - I'd rather be childless than support one 48
I'm not in a relationship & I'd rather wait for the one than have kids 10
I'd pick being in a good financial state over kids. 29
I'd rather have a child now regardless of my current situation 53

    I'm too young and wouldn't be able to support a child.. I wouldn't want to do that to them.

    A year ago I was pregnant. It wasn't planned for but I wanted it and had the support of family and friends. All things were set in motion to have a child in my life. Finances were put in order. Maternity leave was scheduled and work duties were given to coworkers. My father in law was building a crib. When I lost the baby it made people awkward. Do I want one now? Can't bring myself to answer that question because the reality of it never being possible is too real. But I don't know. It's easier to convince myself I don't want one than to deal with never being able to have one. I don't care for this question much.

    No kids for me, period. I really dislike the little punks.

    I've never wanted kids. I would much rather a partner that I'd be with my whole life :)

    I want kids more than anything in the world. I could see myself able to support one. I would be willing to work hard for them but I'd much rather be with the right person and have good financial standing first.

    I wouldnt have children, but thats just my personal choice. I would rather adopt a child than have my own - in my opinion, there are alot of children out there that just need a chance and are in a bad situation.

    I would rather have a child now than never be able to have one at all, even though I am too young and not even ready at this time in my life. Call me selfish if you will.

    • That's like me too and I understand where you're coming from. I'm too young to have children but I know I will do everything I can to provide for it and I wouldn't like not being able to have children in the future.

    I`m too young to have a child right now, but if it means that I can`t have one for the rest of my life, I`ll reither have one now and do all the possible I can for him to have a perfect life. I love childrens and I want one so much :) Maybe it`s kinda selfish, but as Shackleford96, I don`t care about what you think. I just cannot not have kids. x)

    I'm only 19, but I have a boyfriend of 3 years and a veryy well paying job, so I would definitely chose to have one now rather then never... I feel like it's my obligation to bring another life into this world lol. I would figure it out!

    as a man i would be rather disturbed if i had a baby.

  • I am waaay to young have one, 16, but if I had to have one now or I could never have one, as crazy as it sounds I'd have one now. I would defiently be looking for a job and I know that my family would stand by if I did. But then again I come from an area where teen pregnancies are pretty common, one of our homecoming princesses this year was 6 months pregnant and another one have a baby already. So having a baby at my age doesn't seem quiet as extreme as it does to some people. Even though I am going to wait a long, long time to have child.

    I can't have children, but I have always desperately wanted them. So I would have one given the opportunity, regardless of my current situation.

    I think its different if you are younger and have years ahead of you to plan.

    I wouldn't say 'regardless of my current situation.' If I had to have kids now I would and consequently; I would make it my business to change my current situation. I am 18 years old and a female.
