Why Have Kids Of Ur Own?

[Justin]

Ladies & Gentlemen, the title says it all, Why have kids of ur own? & if u chose "Other", state it

Is it becuz:
1. u reach a certain age n innately really feel like havin' one (e.g: to love & care for a child)
2. u think it's the "right" thing to do n have the resources so u just do it
3. u know that u are mortal but want a part of u to survive after u die so u decide to have a kid
4. Usually by accident n instead of goin' on treatment u just let the baby grow
5. Lots of other ppl ur age are havin' it so u decide to have one also. Or pressure from family??
6. u want someone to take care of u when u're sick n old
7. Hope 1 day ur kids will be very succesful so treat it like an investment
8. Have kids as a kind of way to show off n satisfy urself so an ego boost
9. Other

... Share Wit' Us

This is normal : u grow up > study > work > get married > have kids
this is the "normal and usual cycle of life"
i think in general (bl inconscient) it has smtg to do with egocentricity and selfishness ya3ne in order to have someone to look after us once we're old aw shi heik
so i'll vote "other" la anno there's more than 1 option of the ones stated above

as for me i love kids but not to raise them

I don't wanna have children if it is totally up to me, the only reason I might have them is to satisfy the family (and my wife,if such a notion will exist ever), the Corleone line must continue

One cannot answer this question of why one wants children unless he or she has experienced the ecstasy.
It’s a different kind of joy that can’t be explained.
It’s a kind of sharing with your child that is out of this world.
It’s a bond that one feels so grateful for towards God for giving it to us.
It’s a pain that a parent feels for his child’s suffering (God forbid) that is beyond imagination.
It’s a love that’s superior to any kind of love between people.
It's a mixture of all this ...

Thank You ...

And having a kid of ur own, can fortify and make stronger the relation btw the mother & the father...
