Children??

Air signs arent known for their nurturing abilities.

BUT how do you (Libra's) feel about having kids if you dont already have children?

My ex-husband has learned to be a great father...

I thought Libras were nurturers?

I don't think it exactly comes natural with Libra men - women, I am clueless about. They love their children and can spoil them a bit especially little girls, hence my daughter is a "daddy's girl" She is very secure with mommy though as we are definitely nurturers (Scorpios)

I will say it ... Children scare me. I don't relate. I didn't relate when I was a child either. I always sat at the grown up table and played trivial pursuit instead of running around with the other kids. I was a complete loner as a child. I just didn't get them. Still don't.

I am better once they can carry on a bit of a conversation but when they are little and breakable ... I dunno. The whole pregnancy having a large parasite inside you moving around .... eeeek! yeah ... I dunno.

My mom is an aqua. She wasn't a traditional mom but is the best damn mom anyone could ask for. Everyone befriends my mom. When my mom rolls into town, lots of my friends throw little parties for her etc. Everyone loves her. She is just one of the gang. Everyone asks her advice. People always wish they had my mom.

I think air signs are more ... well ... this is the way life is ... sink or swim ... and don't baby their children the way other signs might. All the Saggy mom's I know tend to be overbearing and don't allow their children to breathe.

I once read that Libras will have a child for their partner but a place in their heart is reserved for their partner alone. I see children as a gift I will give my partner. The mommy drive is not strong in this one.

Plus ... just thinking about all the food on their faces, and poopy diapers ... and lack of sleep. Oi!

I don't even know if I could do it. Smells make me gag. Even taking out the garbage can make me gag.

I would REALLY have to love my partner to go through all that for him.

LOL...you make it sound soooo horrible LS...im sure you didnt pop out a little adult straight out of thw womb.

I feel kinda the same way about the whole birth and parenting thing...I just wouldnt go as far as calling them a parasite LOL. BUT I havent completely written off the idea, I like having options.

I brought up the question because Mr Libra says he doesnt want any kids (even though he says his dad is waiting for him to slip up 🙂) , so I asked for his reason and he said it was because he doesnt want to bring anybody into a world like the one we live in (true libra style ). I told him I respect that, then back to his fun loving self he bursts out "and Im selfish!" so we start laughing and I told him thats what my mom says to me when I say I dont want any kids too.

So, I just wanted to take a little census on Libra's and children.

BTW I know he is fully serious when he claims to be selfish for not wanting kids...

*** im sure you didnt pop out a little adult straight out of thw womb.

You would be suprised! When I was two and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up ... I said "A Lady". lol!

I always hung around the adults. Other children flocked to me but I just couldn't get into it. My mom always said I was a snob but that wasn't it ... I just really wasn't interested. (shrug)

One of the Libra guys I know didn't want to have children because he was afraid if the relationship with the mom ended the child would be ripped away from him and he would be devastated. And he never wanted to be a single parent.

Of course, that ended up happening and now he is fighting for custody. He is completely heart-broken because he can't see his daughter every night now.

little_sparrow..I once read that Libras will have a child for their partner but a place in their heart is reserved for their partner alone.

This is true. I was married to a Libra and he always said, he loved the kids, but would rather have me on a deserted island all to himself. Now that we are no longer together he says he does not see the kids because he can't see me. But we are talking about an idiot here, so you can't really go by this example. Sorry. ..just had to vent again....

"I once read that Libras will have a child for their partner but a place in their heart is reserved for their partner alone."

100% correct...

Well, dont ever try to trap a libra with a kid...

A child close a libra's ways of keeping options open. But if pushed nicely, it will work well.
I remember one my friend's signature - when i didnt had children, i had theories about them. Now i have kids and dont have any theories. 😉

I assume none of you Libras on this post have kids. The Libra men I know adore and spoil theirs... Again, I don't think they start that way but they become good fathers - to girls is all I know. I don't know any Libra males with sons, including my brother.

I dont doubt that they wouldnt love and spoil their children, but it seems as if they dont initially view themselves as the parental type....like most air signs.

Personally, like LS said "children scare me" 🙂

I happen to have a child... (Mother, Father and Child are all air sign for that matter)

It is not the most natural role but we can take on any role we like :-) But I am not your typical earth mother. But then again I have no issue going on climbing frames - but equally you won't find me in old dungarees whilst climbing those frames.

I do work full time (point in case probably).

Especially when Libra is not entirely happy in her love life we are occupied elsewhere basically at the cost of EVERYTHING else, not just kids. When happy it is a very natural role...

Im not so keen on the idea of having kids, but for some reason kids love me!! Im a teacher, and i enjoy their company, but im even happier to give them back to their parents at the end of the day. Maternal feelings arent natural for me, although that would probably change if i gave birth..thats what people say anyway. Im no where near ready though, maybe another 5 years when ive done everything i want to do, then it will spare me the resentment of having my freedom taken from me. Selfish? True, but why deny it.

"Children?"

HELLS NO!!!...You know, I should have some adoption centers on speed...just in case. *graps Verizon white-pages*
