Do you like kids? Would you want to have your own? If you have them already, what are the best and worst parts of having them?

I usually get along with them pretty well and I like to teach them stuff! [I used to entertain my little cousin with magnets and it was amusing to see her surprised face!] But I don't want to have kids of my own. Mostly because of genetic reasons. I read somewhere that there is a 50% chance that I pass an unhealthy gene to my kid and she/he would also have Dystonia. I don't want to bring another human bean to this world just to suffer.

I cannot say I like kids in general. But I may like any other human not be immune to the baby-is-cute automatic reaction. I like some kids, especially the two I do care for occasionally when the parents beg me to do it. Though I lack motivation to have my own. Aside from that it is a bit of a nightmare to get kids when you have no male partners.

I want every kid to have a very good childhood. I don't want to have children, don't want any with a passion. Cause this world is too damn often hell in disguise. Well, that is maybe the strongest reason.

Yes. / To be honest, no. I can't do it alone, I haven't figured out life and the last thing I want to do is fuck up at raising a child.

If I'm allowed to have a babysitting opinion, the easiest part was when they're a little toddler. It's at least straight forward what to do.
I've seen what happens after of kindergarten, and oh boy am I not ready for any of this.

I like kids, they're adorable and precious. Though after a certain age they can be real assholes to other kids, especially the males. It would be neat and tempting to have one of my own with someone, but I wouldn't be a good parent, and I don't believe in bringing new people into this terrible world.

Kids are great when I can give them back and return to my barren meaningless life :-P

I would have them if I were in a good place with the right person

The good: You grow with and through them. (Hopefully)
The bad: You grow with and through them (Sometimes, those lessons are painful for both of you.)
