I'd like to be a dad some day yeah. It should be noted that a few of our posters already have kids.

I'm very ambivalent. On the one hand, I'm pretty sure I'd make a kickass mother for a lot of reasons, and I'd like to try my hand with a partner at shaping a new person. On the other, I'm 26 and don't really have anyone that I'd make a baby with in the near term, and kids are obscenely time- and money-consuming. I've been leaning towards "no" for a while but I'm not old enough to rule it out entirely. I wouldn't make any after I reach age 35 or so but wouldn't rule out adopting after that. That's the short version.

I've been told I'd make a great dad,but who am I to decide if the world needs another mouth to feed.
I just think that there are enough kids out there and if you really want one...adopt...

Yes. Because 1) I want to suffer like my parents did, and feel their pain at raising annoying angsty Americanized Asian-American brats. 2) See how messed up my kids become with my awesome parenting skills. 3) In all honesty, I know kids are a whole wallop to deal with - one that will probably overwhelm me - but I want to go through with it anyhow. 4) And, preferably, I'll have them when I'm not too old. That way, they'd be a good investment - if I raise them using good Asian, Confucian values, they will be providing tons of goodies and stuff for me when I'm old and ancient, like all good Asian kids (in reality the chances of this... well, it isn't as good as in Asia, I guess. Whatever.)
Now as a random note I would prefer to have at least one kid of either gender, but that might be a bit difficult.

I'd like to have kids one day. Preferably before or around the time I hit 30, but I believe I require a partner before I can attain these "kids" first.

You can tell this thread was started by a young person because it presumes none of the respondents already have progeny running around.

You can adopt them. Or pray for immaculate conception.

Immaculate conception would still likely involve a sex partner. You're thinking of a virgin birth.

It also assumes that us menfolk get to have the slightest say in what our female partners wish to do.

You assume all the users are men.

You have plenty of say in what you wish to do.
I have a 14 month old daughter and she is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It is the only decision that could be the best thing ever, and at the same time you rue the day that you ever decided to forego your own life in order to completely devote what seems like every minute of every day to someone else.

Methinks you assume I assume all users are men. If I did, I wouldn't have specified "us menfolk", I'd just say us
Possible use of hyperbole in the name of mild humor. I'm a little surprised that one damn intelligent woman such as yourself wouldn't see that, but that's the difficulty of employing tone on the Internet I guess.

It's a complicated topic.
