Parents in Nepal, Why did you decide to have kids?

Parents in Nepal, Why did you decide to have kids?

I have been wanting to ask this question for some time now. I don’t like kids. I will probably never have kids myself. It takes determination, sacrifice, hard work and money to become good parent. I don’t think I can afford that. So what convinced you to have kids and when did you have them?

  1. It was not a hard decision. Me and my wife always wanted kids. The question was how many. We compromised and settled at 1. We have a boy. I don’t think either of us would mind if we had one more but at this point we’re quite frankly getting a little too old for it.
    Now back to your question on why. For me personally, I will have someone to call on to. He doesn’t have to look after me and take care of me or my wife when we get old. At the moment, he’s just a happy little presence in our life. Just the two of us would surely have turned old and boring after a few years. We have something to look forward to, to mold him to the person I could never become, to look forward to being proud to everything he’ll achieve.

    I’m mindful that I might be being overly dreamy and ambitious. When he grows up, I want him to have a memory of a childhood that doesn’t suck like mine did and really have a content life and blissful existence… just an extension of what I could never have. We both love him dearly.

  2. Nature. Natural Drive I guess. Me and my wife impulsively decided to have a kid. We were nearer and Physical attraction was way more pronounced after that. Now we have a beautiful daughter and there is this constant feeling of completeness.
    Trust me Nature works in mysterious ways…

  3. The question one should ask should be why do u not want kids. Everyone in our country is forced to have kids whether they want it or not. Family pressure, society pressure. Hard to find people without kids.

  4. Not a parent but I was given birth by two narcissists sons of bitches as a desperate way of getting old age insurance. Just a few more years and they’ll reap what they sowed:)

  5. I’ve been wondering the exact same thing. Most nepali parents lai bccha lai emotional support dina ni audaina, it’s like they’re only having kids dekhawati ko lagi.

  6. There’s a saying,” All kids deserve a parent but not all parents deserve a kid.” So that is the sole mantra for me, If i cannot give my full time then it is okay for me to not want a kid. When you are fully ready i think then you know it??
    Parenting is really a tough job and not a cup of tea for everybody(like myself). Hats off to all the parents for trying their best !!

  7. Wow, Scrolling through comments, Kids give people purpose. Like how shallow are you? There is no purpose of life. It’s just a coping mechanism for us creatures in the infinite universe that we/our lives actually mean something. Just enjoy the moment. Chill, live to the fullest and die.

    I don’t want any kids too for a simple reason. If I had a choice, I would never choose to be born. Simple. I was basically forced to be born and suffer through life and why would I want another person the same?

  8. Kids are a different and special kind of love than what you have for your partner, or parents or anyone else, they are a mindless love you’d even die for.

  9. How old are you?

    Multiply it by 3. Now imagine you dont have a family, you are alone, your dna is limited to you, no one to carry your generation, people have kids grandkids, retired happy and you. Partying and money has already taken a toll on your body, you have travelled enough countries but at the end of the day, its somewhat similar new till its get old, and you can’t travel no more,you’re not young, that’s when you need kids grandkids, as they play in your garden with your cute golden retirever. Actual happiness lies in that garden as you read your digital newspaper, take a sip of tea and bask in the sun as your grand kids are playing in the garden and your son daughter in law, are hurrying for work, running after the mischievous child. Now imagine opposite of that, you’re sitting alone, maybe your old wife there having tea. And whatelse is there. In old age you get bored of everything, shares, work, new things don’t excite you. So better thing clearly. You must probably be young so you think like that. With age everything changes. Hope you liked my perspective. Tc have a good life.

  10. Results of Years and years of propaganda. Glorifying the parents in every excuse, where all they ever did was fuck. And for insurance policy, basically budeskal ko sahara. These are the most common reason for some dumbfuck to have kids.

  11. This question is self answered after you have kids of your own, otherwise others answer just won’t make sense.

    I too had same sentiments as you of not wanting kids and hating them but not have a son of my own and can’t imagine my life without him.

  12. you are 18,
    focus on your studies and career. lol
    it’s too early for you to think about Parenthood.

    and please don’t hate kids,
    not all kids are the same. lol

    if you really want answers to this.. you need to be asking people around you, people you know, your parents, elders, relatives, friends, etc. real people who already have kids and their experience.
    not here on the internet. lol
    ya ta taile baccha kaile nabanako manche haru koi besi replies pauchas. lol

  13. At first, I didn’t want any kid.All same reason as you said. Then, I had one. Its amazing and hard at the same time. I thought I understood love but the love you have towards your kid is at a different level. They bring a very different side of you that no one can explain you, you just have to feel it. Now, being said that, it is a difficult job and you should not have a child if you do not want to. Everyone doesn’t need to have a child. You can be perfectly happy without one. Just my two cents.

  14. So that the world keeps operating

    If everyone on the Earth would think like you
    World won’t run

    Just like you suck your mom’s breasts as your only food when you were child, it is same as that

    It’s like using <html> tag while creating webpage

  15. Hello man are u afraid of marriage for kids. I don’t wanna marriage because we r in big loss in marriage from ceremony to divorce. Men always pay penalty of it. Fuck up those modern media for exaggerating men get more pleasure from relationships. Kids connect both lovely couple guide them for life n female partner give more love to husband who care her children. So kids is bridge of love n affection in healthy marriage

  16. From an ethical standpoint the most useful thing you as an individual could do to further humanity is to either contribute to the cutting edges of all human arts and science so that we progress further OR you could have offspring so that they or tier offsprings could carry on the legacy.

  17. Human beings are biologically wired to have offspring to ensure the survival of their gene.

    It’s the same in Nepalese society before they used to think the more kids you used to have the wealthier you would be in the future be so kids used to be a guarantee for the future.

    These days once you’ve acquired a decent job with a stable income and reach your late 20s or early 30s you are expected to find a partner and get married or your family will find one for you. Your parents want grandkids and your partner might want kids too.

    Females have to think ahead so even if their partner doesn’t want to have kids early they would want to have kids before 35 to avoid childbirth complications and stuff.

    If both you and your partner decide on not having kids before marriage it’s great but once you reach your 40s-50s and see everyone around you with kids you might feel differently about it or even regret not having kids.

  18. the thing is everyone round you will get married and have kids and u will left alone so that why …..simple as that …and everyone will be busy in there life and u feel like u have no one to call ,,,soo i think that’s what it is even though i am too small but i think that’s what it is
