Do men desire to have kids as much as women do? or men feel presssured to have kids? specially after getting married?

Not everyone wants to have kids, although many want to have kids.

I did not want any of them ,I was happy thinking I was impotent ,but I was wrong .
and I was scared to death ,,and I sucked as a Dad ,and husband for that matter
But my son was planned to the day (glad he was a boy ,4 tries and 4 girls )
But now I could not imagine life without them .

My second wife had many reasons to leave me ,but her main one was she wanted kids ,,I was not having it
I had 3 I was paying child support on I couldn't see
The last thing I wanted was a repeat of that

Now I have 2 baby momma's and 4 kids ,and I share my son
Just exactly the thing I didn't want
But I have a killer son ,,and all my kids mean the world to me

But once upon a time ,,I didn't want any of them
@rckt148 Well, such is life, glad it all worked out for you, although never is easy, is it?

@aaaabbbb my life has been a roller coater ride ,
But as for my children , I have great kids
Some have said I made parenting look to easy
its easy to do when you have good kids
You could say we raised each other ,
I never wanted to let them down ,,they showed me the same respect
I could not be any happier how they turned out ,
We had a few rocky years ,but if you raise them right to start with
They will come back to what they know ,at least mine did
Wishing you are much happiness ,
as a rule ,the things I run from
are the things I need ,,they were things I desperately needed
I was just to young to know it at the time ,,now I am grateful
@rckt148 you are a good man and father and lucky one well.
