It's a pretty simple, straightforward question. Do you have children and, if so, how many do you have? If you don't have them, would you like to? What led to you have children and what fun things are they up to?

No children here...yet.
I have three girls, aged 6, 3 and 1.
Love them all the world and wouldn't change it for anything.

Nooope, never had a gf really 
but I think sometime in the near, farish future I may have a few.

Nope. I've never had a son or daughter and still don't have any children to this day. When the time is right and I've met the right person, having children is definitely something which is on my bucket list.
I don't technically have children, but due to my divorced, ill health sister lives with me, It is like I have one. I would love to have children of my own. And I hope to eventually have them. 
I don't have any child for now , because am not yet married .
Yes , definetly , I will love to have children , at least they will be there to take care of me during my old age .
Secondly , part of the reason for marriage is procreation , so definetly , most people will love to have children , although the number of kids may differ .
I do love to have just 3 kids .
Not all children take care of their parents in old age. A lot of parents get put in old people's homes and forgotten about by their children.
Having children is not a guarantee they will care for you in old age, nor should you have children just to have them look after you when you are old.
Marriage isn't about having children. It's about love between two people and them wanting to celebrate that love by joining in union.
I don't have children and never want them. I'm antinatilist. The world is overpopulated and there are enough children needing homes already. To force someone into this world with the state it is in is also beyond selfish imo. Especially if they have a high risk of getting a genetic disease/illness from you.
My 'children' are four legged, furry and adopted. Cheaper to look after, don't judge you, loyal, and wonderful companions.

I don't have children, but I do want them in the future. I like children in general, and as an only child, I can't have any nieces or nephews... However, I do worry about giving a child my health problems, so I might adopt instead of having my own.
I'm child-free by choice. Never cared to have kids. Decided officially when I was 22. I was an aunt at age 7 & I tell people I got kidded out lol
I always thought this way.. but now that i'm 30.. i'm starting to want at least 1 kid.
I have a 3-year-old daughter.
I wasn't particularly bothered either way whether or not I had kids, but my now ex-wife always wanted to be a Mum.. she fell pregnant pretty quickly, and we were fortunate enough not to have any major complications during her pregnancy (the birth was another story).
Now that she's here, I wouldn't change her for the world - even though she drives me crazy sometimes! ?
Would I have another? Not by choice but I'm well aware that my new partner would like a child of her own, though this could be quite unlikely given that she's had PCOS since she was 19.

No, I don't. It's unlikely to happen any time soon (since neither I nor my partner wants them, and we're still long-distance for the time being anyway), but I think it's one of those things where, if it's meant to happen, then it will when the time is right.
People change their minds so if you feel you want at least one, go for it! So many factors played into it for a long time so I knew early on I wouldn't change my mind.
