Never want any of my own, but would be willing to adopt in a few years.

Before when I was single I don't want any child because I think that it's just a burden. But now that I have a child of my own I can say that my life becomes more meaningful.

@Kashish Gupta - No they don't.

Kids suck! All they do is spoil your life.

That's correct

Yepp. I agree with all the points. Exactly how I feel. I never want any.

However it might not be possible to wait for everything to be perfect if you really want children. Also it is possible to have good job and progress in your career with children. Only men would have us believe otherwise!

Great points. Do it ready and it doesn't matter how old or young you are so it because you want to not because the world expects you too. Great post.
