Having children is a huge responsibility, and I just don't want to hand them off to a nanny or my mom to take care of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I definitely don't want to have kids. I don't think I'd be a great mother. I don't want to have a kid and have it raised by a nanny. I don't have the time to raise a child.
Because I'm an older mom, I have a responsibility to my kids as well as myself. I want to be there for them.
For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.
I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
All of these things we do without children, and suddenly we don't do them anymore, and it comes home to us in a real way, that it's very different to have the responsibility of a child.
Having children makes you see the world in a completely different way. When you're responsible for those little lives, you can't slough it off or forget about it until later.
I never wanted children; maybe I'm afraid of responsibility.
As a parent, the most responsible thing I can do is get as much information about my children as possible so I can then think through how I can make them as healthy as possible.
I've got four kids to feed and a wife to provide for. It's a worry but a great responsibility as well and one I relish.
I know I want to have children while my parents are still young enough to take care of them.
