Do you want to have kids when you're older?

Eventually, when I'm ready to do so, I would like to have kids one day. I don't know when I will be ready, but eventually I would like to raise some.

No. I don't want to be sleep-deprived for years, I don't want to make everyone around me deal with my screaming kid, I don't want to deal with all the baby stuff (constant crying, stubbornness, etc), I want to have free time, I would have no idea how to be a good father, I don't want to risk having twins or triplets because that would multiply the awfulness, there are a scary amount of disorders I could pass on to them, I probably won't even get married in the first place, and we have enough people on the planet already.

I don't know yet

I would like to have kids at some point. I want to be able to watch them grow up and be able to have great memories with them like I have with my family.

I would like to have kids, and I'd probably go out of my way to have them (i.e. make work more flexible, drop certain projects). Teaching is one of my favourite things to do and I think it's an amazing feeling to watch someone grow and succeed because of your efforts. I've worked with young children at a math tutoring centre and have volunteered at my local science centre in the past, so I know that dealing with kids can definitely be annoying at times. But the feeling that I was able to visibly impact someone's life, whether it was just making a cherished memory or teaching them a useful concept, is invigorating.

This might sound self-centered, but I think my kids could definitely become people that I want to see in the world. Although that's kind of a vague and lofty goal, I think it's worth it to take the chance and try my best to take care of my children and make them the best people they can be. Plus, I'm fascinated by the idea that I could create something sentient, that could think on its own and become something better than me. I already have an interest in computer programming and arts/crafts where I'm (mostly) only limited by my imagination, but a human being that can think on its own (although influenced by me) is a whole new level.

My views change a lot over time though, so maybe 10 years from now I'll think differently.

first off idk man as someone who is autistic idt it'd be very responsible of me to potentially pass that on to the next generation.

probably a no from me because of that alone, but massive respect for the people who do decide to take up the commitment of having kids. especially in today's society where raising a child is expensive as fuck. hell in singapore the average cost of raising a child now is anywhere from 700k to 1mil, which is a ludicrously high sacrifice. i can't imagine raising one kid right now, let alone three or four, especially on the salary of the career path i'll be heading in.

and in many ways i think that's what's actually causing people to go "hm maybe i shouldn't do the unprotect sex and have baby" - opportunity cost. because having a baby / kid means sacrificing so many next-best alternatives; both in time, money and emotional investment. it's a shared burden which for now i'm definitely not responsible enough to do my part for. all my respect for the people who do though, they're the ones doing the hard work keeping our species alive and kicking
