It is true that people should always be careful and consider their circumstances before they decide to have kids. Nowadays it's not like how it was back in the olden days. Now the world is over-populated and heading down the drain, it's getting more and more expensive and difficult to raise kids. Back then kids were a blessing sent by God, the children helped out on the farm and did the work for the parents. Nowadays children are still a blessing sent by God but one should really ask themselves if its a blessing that they really want to have and can afford to raise.

No one knows.... There are so many causes, and scientifics aren't 100% sure which one is the most important.\nSome reasons are:\n-Genetics\n-Education (or lack of education)\n-Your growing up, family relationships\n-Social Skills you developed as a kid (or not)\n-Neurological disorders\n-Trauma

it's also a reason not to get pregnant.\n\neither way, it's your choice - and isn't that what being a woman is all about?  the power of choice?

There are many reasons to want to get married... some good, some bad.\nA friend of mine had this theory that people were getting married because they were getting bored in their relationship, so they'd decide to get married so that they had something to talk about. And when the excitement of marriage had worn off, they'd move on to make children...\nIt's obviously a dark way of seeing things but I fear it's often close to the truth. \nI want to get married because I consider it a gift to my man, the promise to spend (or at least try!) my whole life with him... the ultimate commitment you can make!

I dont have kids of my own but I have a lot of children in my life.\n\nIn the age we live in of computers and video games that dont encourage kids to think and problem solve, i welcome when kids ask me questions.\n\nIt shows that the child is alive, awake, alert and aware, it also shows that the child has intelligence and needs to be stimualted and challenged in a godly way.\n\nFind out what the child interst is do they like to paint with colors, read books with or without pictures, do they like to make crafts like model trains or airplanes or make jewelery and accesories, the reason I ask this is that children who ask a lot of questions are often willing to try new things and explore different areas making them very confident with a healthy self esteem.\n\nI am saddened that techonology has made our children very introverted and not socailize and this is not always the case I do realize that.\n\nBe thankful your child does ask questions because if you dont ask you dont learn and if you dont learn you dont grow and if you dont grow you cant be a productive and healthy adult.

Everyone thinks you should have a baby coz they have been conditioned to think that all normal people must have kids especially after they marry. Now they do not realise that exceptions exist. Bide your time, listen to them but do not get upset by their comments.

It was worth it. Why? Because now you have the best gift in life - your children! And, when they grow up, and become curious - instead of being hypocritical when they ask you about whether or not they should wait until marriage, you can tell them the truth about your own life - whether right or wrong (in your own mind), and guide them to make the best decision for themselves.

I think it's the result of sin entering the world.  \n\nBecause of sin, we have sickness, disease and death.\n\nI wouldn't take your inability to have children as an act of God.   Or a judgment against you.\n\nSee a specialist and rule out any medical conditions.  Make sure you take good care of yourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.\n\nPray about it.  Ask your friends and family to pray about it.  \n\nIf you still can't have babies of your own, pray about adopting.  It may be that there is a child out there who really needs you.\n\nI wish you all the best in becoming parents!

Making their world a safe place to be. (their world is very little compared to the entire world) If a child is secure and knows they are loved, they will be happy. The material things are the last thing they need. Love and support and feeling good about themselves, makes them strong. Love your children with more than toys and food, it is your time and love that make the difference.

Raise their children in a stable healthy environment with strong morals and a good education.  And everyone else should use birth control.

I love the idea. If you can't support a child, you can't have them. Sounds cold and logical.

Pro=choice.\n\nAs a male, I don't feel I have any right to dictate to someone else to have a child. \n\nMany children are not wanted! Many children are born addicted to cocaine! We have throw away children, many who are prostitutes and drug abusers at 15. Many come from broken homes. Many drop out of school, Many are physically and sexually abused, and most of the children who end up on Medicaid or some other assistance program, which are meager anyway, have to hear from the other side about how terrible they are. \n\nMany unwanted children have children because they want someone to love them! They are the victims in this country who  are blamed for our failure to live up to OUR part. Many want to force women to have children, and when they do,  they do not want to provide the help they need. They breed a cycle of mothers who are children, but they do nothing except cast stones and blame THEM for OUR failure..\n\nAnd we breed a cycle of children with attachment disorders, behavioral issues and mental issues. We don't want to help them either!\n\nI feel that until those who want to place their moral judgment, not Gods, on women by forcing them to have children should pay for those kids until they graduate from college. Until they can do that, their judgmental attitudes are underwhelming!\n\nWomen, especially young, were not intended to become baby factories for the wealthy. One reason i heard a woman say the reason she wanted to adopt was she didn't want to mess up "her" body. The reality is most women who carry a child to term do not give up their child for adoption.\n\nStone throwing Christians make me sick! The moral police I have no words that I can type that would tell you the true depths of my feelingsof them.
