i'm married, and i stutter, we are thinking of having kids in a year or two (i'm 99% sure we will). my wife says that she's grateful that, if our kids stutter, they will have a good role model to show them how to deal with it and how to carry themselves. ​ to be honest, everybody has a ton of issues, so the stuttering issue is a moot point in my opinion. are you not going to have kids because you have weight issues? ADHD? alcoholism or depression run in your family? it's almost tangential to the issue at hand for me -- it's not about stuttering but whether i want to take on that responsibility or not. ​ i sometimes do think, boy, it will be awkward if i cant say my kids name or if i stutter while meeting other parents, but that's life for us stutterers hah! i'm not going to let the stutter ruin my life or make myself avoid a complete life with all of the typical experiences. i stutter with dignity and pride. :-D
