I'm afraid that the kid will be mentally handicapped.
I'm in no shape to bring a child in to this world right now anyways, but I don't think I'll ever be able to get over it.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to love them and that they will be a burden on me/my future wife for the rest of our lives, I know that's fucked up, but I can't change how I feel.
I would think about adoption, but I would like to be able to have a child that I actually took part in making.

Some people just get dealt the shitty/fucked up gene card and come out all derpy. Having a baby is like russian roulette. Might get a normy, might get a ginger, might get a potatoe.

Are you worried about how the child will initially be, or if you will be able to raise it?
If you think that the kid will be handicapped/retarded, then you might see it as a challenge to give yourself the life experience not many people will have. As for not loving it, you could always give it up for adoption before it becomes cognitive.
As for me; I'm not afraid. I don't want kids, anyway.

OP, I bet a lot more people think that than you think.
If I were to find out my unborn child would have down syndrome, I would have an abortion. I wouldn't want that child to grow up in this cruel world with something like that.
Honestly if any of the ultrasounds showed that the baby would have a severe handicap, I would abort.
And its my uterus so I can do what I want!

My girl is pro abortion and actually told me the other night she'd about if I got her preggo.
If my baby had downs I would not want to deal with that. Fuck that noise.
Have you seen someone with downs theow a temper tantrum? It's hilarious for everyone else but the parents. No amount of candy calms them down

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying but I'm afraid the child will come out retarted.

I couldn't do that, I would probably think about them all the time until I drove myself insane.

Yeah, always had the same worries too. BUT, since my GF and I found out that we can't have kids together (she was diagnosed with severe endometriosis, which means basically zero chance of conception) that concern went out the window and I'd just be happy to have a little rug rat regardless.

I agree with that, I don't have the authority (nor do I want it) to tell my future significant other to abort a child if it was handicapped, but I hope they would have the sense to do it.

Not all problems can be tested for in utero though, and the girl could be pro-life.

Im afraid if I ever do have children I will try and raise them to be what I want them to be, instead of what they want. Initially the children learn morals, views and everything through observation of the parents and their surroundings, media ofcourse -
I wouldent allow my children to watch television for more than a few hours a week, they would study even when school is out, and forced to read a new book a month, and by age five-six I would make it a point to learn a second language after their basic understanding of english is rooted. Sports and activities, and to say what they think, be blunt.
Omg, I could never have a child.
