Why do people have Children?

All reasons for having kids are personal. But if you want some spiritual answers, i would say, people have children to fulfill the commandment God gave Adam which is to multiply and replenish the earth. We are God's children, he wants us to experience earth life for so many good reasons. I don't claim any church to be the only true church but i am sure that i am a Child of God. I cant imagine that "evolution" others are talking about. Who would want to think that he/she was once a monkey or apes! duh!

We can't explain it. It's an instinctive thing. When you get to a certain age you think about what it'd be like to have a child and if you love someone enough you end up wanting to have a child with that person just because that's what you do. That's what we all do. But it's mostly women who have maternal feelings, men don't have paternal feelings very often.

But mostly...People have children by accident. I was an accident, you were probably an accident. People like to have sex and people REALLY like to have unprotected sex, it's fun and it feels good. But one times out of four, we end up having bastard children.

People have children because they want to continue their bloodlines, have someone to pass knowledge and wealth to, and to spread their love (apart from themselves or as a couple).

People do not have children for ease of life or cost efficiency.

my wife and I had children for some extra cash... White babies can bring in a ton of money on the black market.

Because they have a selfish desire to make sure their legacy is carried on in to the future. This is the truth, anyone who says it is not is an idiot.

heh so we never have the time to play catch-up with what few resources we have left. just one more mouth to feed ya know?

Besides being a biological imperative...people like to ****.

There aren't many options, it's just what pops out after nine months, though I admit it would be great to have an orangutan..

Look at yourself in the mirror and you will know why!!.
