weird question. we are both introverts. we had sex (quiet sex if you want more details), and babies came out. according to our records, we had at least 3 times (b/c we have 3 kids).

Ditto. It's exhausting to have chatter all day long. One DC is enough.

I know a 29 years old, very extrovert, loud. I'm sure she has some mental issue. She looks high in drugs from just watching her, actions, talking. Very selfish, thinks about herself a lot, attention hore. Even my mom doesn't like her. She's not a wife material. Just wants to have fun and do no work, just takes care of dogs, my brother pays everything. I'm glad he broke up with her.
And no kids! He was lucky.

If you want kids. Find someone stable in the head. Someone serious, mature and empathetic.

I keep telling my brother to not stick on crazy.

The same way everybody else does.

Introverts just don't talk during s e x.

My husband is introvert. He's so hot. I'm shy. I believe I'm hot too.
We can't wait to have our first baby!

I'm more strict person, he's more relaxed. I feel like I'm the only one who's gonna discipline our child while he will just give in to the crying, tantrums. Haha stereotype. He's learning. I'm a teacher and he's a programmer.

We love children. That's very important. Introvert, extrovert, alien, they can all be wonderful parents.

I feel so sad for those kids alone in orphanages. Sometimes I wanna adopt them too

I think all dads are lazy in parenting.

The moms does all the work most of the time

My dh is an introvert, I’m an extrovert. He dotes on our extroverted child and struggles to be patient with our introverted one. Just how it plays out for us, it’s unpredictable.

Also, although I’m an extrovert, that doesn’t necessarily give me an edge in parenting. Kids are very needy and it’s not a two way exchange. I need breaks from them too, to go be with other adults, maybe more than my spouse, who can find solace at home. I take on more communication with school, doctors, etc, that’s easier for me. Also places like Chuck E. Cheese are a nightmare for any parent, extrovert or not.

More time for party, wine and group parties with other adults!

I don't think introverts are concerned about their children taking away time for big wine parties

What kind of stupid question is this?

People reacted weirdly to this thread. I think OP is an introvert concerned about how he/she would handle children.

OP, I consider myself an introvert. I agree with a PP that your own kids don't really drain you in the way that socializing with non-family members does. That said, after the kids are in bed I go to my room and just decompress for a bit (like 30-45min) before I go back downstairs and talk to DH and clean up and get ready for the next day. DH is an extrovert and sometimes he follows me and wants to talk about random nonsense so I tell him I need to look at my work emails

That's how introverts say that word (when they speak).

As an introvert, I just pretend to have children. I buy those picture frames that comes with the perfect family ad photo. When I have time, I snip out the pictures of the husband and wife and just leave the model kids in the frame.

This is enough to fulfill my needs, as an introvert. Thanks OP for bringing this question to light.
