Why do people have kids??

Question

(Beside perpetuating the human race )

Answer 1

ask your parents.

Answer 2

Sometimes i think people have kids because they dont know what they want to do with their life. So having kids is a way out of facing who they are and a way to hide not knowing what they want to do as far as a career, as well as fear of failure; kind of like hiding behind their kids.

Answer 3

Two people love each other.  They want to have kids and give share their love with them.

Watching them grow up, teaching them, and you can sit back and let the kids do the work for you later on (dishes, grass, throw out garbage) lol..

I'm sure girls would give you more reasons

Answer 4

Erm....for the same reason that you exist?

Answer 5

To me, having a child is not because ***Insert fairytale here***, but more of a natural thing, built into our genes. When a human finds stability with a partner, a natural urge to have children, most of the time occurs. Although some external factor will influence the decision, it's all about subsistence of the race.

External factors may include, but are not limited to:

Jobs and economical factors,

Girlfriends afraid their boyfriend will leave and quit taking the pill "to force him to stay for the child",

Social stature, all of your friends have a child, why not you?

and the one hate the most, religion. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

because their commeted to one person and arent afraid to raise their own family

Answer 7

I hope I can word this well as it is a feeling. When both parents love each other so much that they want to create a child, there is a joy in creating something together that literally has something of both parents in it. Then to watch a child grow and experience life is almost magical. I wouldn't trade it for anything even with the ups and downs.
