Children?

[Tsarmina]

I was just curious.
Me personally... no thanks. I do not want children. I made that very clear when AM and I first started going out. I didn't want to waste my time or his if he was looking to have kids one day. Luckily, we are of the same mind as far as that subject is concerned.

The sad thing is that I'd be perfectly happy if they disconnected my plumbing so as to make the possiblility of pregnacy even less likely and my co-worker who sits next too me has been going to fertility treatments and such because she & her husband want kids so badly.

[suburbanhell]

Yeah so back with my original reply, AGAIN... edit...edit again...edit AGAIN... :P

I'm only 27, but I'm nearing 30 every day....at this time last year I thought I wanted a family and all that stuff, bought a ring and started preparing to move forward with the next step in my life. Then November happened and my whole world was completely A-Bombed...

Now I'm not so sure I want to bring a life into this cold and heartless world...

[Tsarmina]

Can a Mod fix the title please? *sniffle* Stoopid thing misbehaving like that....

[suburbanhell]

Ask and ye shall receive matey! Garrr!

Well, that's one valid reason not to have any. I was never interested in babies. I don't think I actually held any of my nieces/nephews until they were toddling around... and even then, that was a rare occurance.

Kids are great with broccoli and a nice pepper/cream sauce.

[Redcat]

I wouldn't mind having a couple of kids but if I don't have any that won't bother me either. I'm already 33 and I don't want to have a child after I'm 40 the idea of trying to raise kids while I'm in my 50's and he's in his 60's just doesn't work for me. So we most likely won't have any. Which means we can continue to live in sin lol.

[Tsarmina]

No. Kids are too tough and chewy. I use the souls of unborn babies in all my special recipes. ;)

[Grae Knight]

I have a daughter and she is one of the best things ever to happen to me. Being a father provides a better feeling of satisfaction than anything in the world. I may change my opinion of this once she hits the teens but for now she is the center of my universe.

[Maveric]

No thanks, no baby goats for me.... you sick puppies!

[Masked Revenger]

I am a new father (my son is 6 months old), and I gotta say, it's the best thing that ever happened to me! I'll tell you what. If you are honest with your self and with the other parent and both of you work together on it (I can't speak for going it alone), then it doesn't have to be as big a "disruption" to your life as everyone makes it out to be. Having a child has not killed anything in my house hold, including, but not limited to:

Romance
Dating (only my wife, silly!)
Gaming
"Alone time" (my wife and I each get one day a week out of the house, away from each other and the baby. I believe this is a key to a successful relationship)

It's wonderful, and I wouldn't change a thing! :D

Chris

[Titomancer]

Yes, I want 1 or 2 kids. Unfortunately, my GF is very anti-baby. Im hoping its just cause we are both young, and that she'll come around later. I'd liek daughter, so I can torment the poor teenage boys that come to take her out on dates.

[Akamaz]

I've alreay got one, and one more on the way!

Kidz are teh kewliest !

[Tsarmina]

Oh yeah, and I'm perfectly fine with the idea of me being the 'crazy ol animal lady' of the neighborhood. (I'm fanatical about more than just cats) And when the time comes, I'll be content in the nursing home as long as I've got some pills, chocolate pudding cups and maybe a fish tank to stare at all day. :chuckle:

[Nyx]

Children and I mix like oil and water -- even when I *was* a kid, I didn't like kids. I'm awkward around them, can't wait to get away from them so I can talk to someone whose voice is a similar octave to mine... frankly, I frighten small children (still trying to figure out why) and they frighten me (I know the reasons there, and they're endless...) I'm with Mina on this one -- if I were ever unable to have children, it wouldn't bother me at all.

[Grae Knight]

Kids give me an excuse to buy toys and not look and feel like a dork :chuckle:

[Fantasmo]

I agree with Grae Knight and Masked Revenger on this. I have a 4 month old little boy and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. There is nothing close to the feeling of seeing him come out and know he is yours. It gave me chills and I love him with everything I have.

Masked Revenger did a good job of hitting on the sharing the responsibility part too. That is good advice.

[WingedAvenger]

Went ahead and voted for the first choice, even though it isn't entirely accurate, but it will be soon. My first born is still cooking in the oven. :cool:

[Esbat]

I'd really dig having kids one of these days... a bunch of lil' Esbats running around would really change the course of human history, I assure you.

Mind you I'd want to have them pre-30, post 25 so this way I'm not too old when they have kids of their own.

[Necrosys]

Yes... I want children... I'd have to wait for my brother to be old enough to live on his own... but I would love to have some.

[Magna Harrier]

Yeah, once I re-einlist next year and pay off all my debt, the whole "Operation: Produce Offspring" begins. We figure two should enough.
Both of our families are so disgustingly fertile, it should'nt take long. :rolleyes:
I've heard folks comment in the past that folks who don't want kids always change their mind when they actually have them. I'm not sure where this is coming from, because I've seen it turn out some pretty lousy parents. Not that this is true of everyone who wants to skip the whole kid thing, but too many people rush into having kids before making sure their own marrige/shacking-upness is stable, or that they're even a mature enough individual to start raising another human being.

[Alumette]

Funny this should come up now. I'm very opinionated on this issue, so if I get a little nutty just ask me nicely to keep it to myself. :)

I don't plan to have kids. I figure somewhere in the back of my mind I may change my mind, so I haven't gone so far as to have my physiology changed, but at this point the odds of me wanting kids are so slim that it's safe to say I won't have them. If I had to decide, forever, at this moment, I'd say no.

I agree with MR that if parenthood is gone into with both parties really wanting kids and planning and discussing everything, that having kids needn't be a huge disruption. Ideally, this is how all kids would come into the world: into a loving home where they're wanted and prepared for by both parents who have committed to making a wonderful life for this small person. I don't think many people do that, sadly; despite their best intentions. I know, I see the result in my classroom every day. This doesn't make the majority of my students' parents bad parents. What I'm saying is, it's impossible for anyone to ever be fully prepared for being a parent. Can't blame the parents for this, obviously; but I can tell which kids in my class had parents who went into greater preparation than others, if that makes sense.

My desire not to have kids has nothing to do with how I feel about kids. I love kids, of all ages; although admittedly babies creep me out (with a few exceptions--my niece and nephew and best friend's daughter, for instance). I see women my age getting all nuts over cutesy babies and I just don't see what all the fuss is about. Still, with the exception of babies, I love hanging out with kids. At family gatherings I'm always the one rounding up the school-age kids and playing tag or inventing games or pretending or telling stories. Maybe it's some "Teacher Switch" that goes off in my head or something, I dunno. I love kids, but I have no desire to be a parent, and I think that's an important distinction.

Frankly I don't think I'm cut out to be a parent. I'm a pretty spontaneous person, and that level of lifelong commitment I know is more than I'm willing to give. People have called me selfish for being so, but IMO it's worse to know that about myself and have kids anyway (just to make family or society happy or whatever).

I get *very* defensive when people assume that because I'm a woman there are kids in my future. It has been a bone of contention with me; even innocuous stuff like some stranger with a kid in line at the grocery turning to me and saying, "Just think, someday you'll have one of your own," makes me furious. But now I'm just babbling.

Anyhow, if at some point I decide that I do want to be a parent (however remote that possibility is), and it's too late for me to have them (and pregnancy...ugh... not sure I want to go through that complete and total personal sacrifice even if I am young enough still to have my own), I know there are plenty plenty plenty of children in this world who need someone to love them. In my view, love makes a parent, not necessarily DNA. So I'm sure I'll have no trouble finding a little person who needs love if I'm willing to give it in the role of "parent."

In the meantime, I'm happy to dispense that love and guidance across a broader spectrum of people in my classroom.

Okay. I'm done now. :)

Oven? No, you've got to boil them....like lobsters. That screaming is just the air escaping from their diapers.

Alright, now I've even freaked myself out.

[Seadevil]

Kids? Nuh-uh. I've never wanted 'em, can't say I ever will.

As far as having my 'organs' removed and all... Nuh-uh. That sounds waaaay too painful!

[Chain Lightning]

Kids are great with broccoli and a nice pepper/cream sauce.

Heh, I always tell people that I don't like kids, unless it's with garlic and butter, but other than that, no.

My wife and I mutually decided when we were still dating we didn't want any kids.

Plus I'd just feel weird saying "No, no, don't read daddies comic books" Or "No, no daddies toys aren't to be played with" (Have a couple action figures on my shelf)

[Charon]

Then let them read your comic books you meanie! ;)

In all seriousness, I want to have A kid. That's one. In the singular. And, I want to bring it up right, as, my life mission has always been not to end up like my dad, who's a horrible father. So, I pretty much want to have one kid and provide it with everything it ever wants and more. :)

[Dark AngelHawk]

Still to this day I am uncertian. There are reasons why I would and wouldn't.

I wouldn't want to have a kid for a few reasons. I don't ever want someone that I would care about so deeply to ever have to go through some of the things I have. I wouldn't want them to feel heart break and all that either. Honestly I'd be way too protective(like I'm not now to kids in general).

I'd love to have some though, to teach the great qualities of life. To live in our blood knowing that they could do something far greater.

Who knows? I'm unsure but after things unfold after this next year I'm sure it'll be figured out. :)

For now I will stay and watch over the young ones that are here now.

[Larke]

unfortunately my ex and i didn't talk about kids right away and then when we did he only wanted one cause he "needed" to cause he was the last male in his line *rolls eyes* my husband and i talked about it on the first date and we both wanted kids. I grew up with 6 brothers and sisters, and though I didn't want THAT big of a family, i thought 3 or 4 would be good. I still do, the only problem is money... we're so worried about money, bringin another kid into it is hard... though I really want another one, before too many years get inbetween kids.

I and i totally understand when people say they don't want kids, i just wish other people would know that they shouldn't have kids... but those dumb people still have kids... but that's another topic that i shouldn't start ranting about here :)

I actually looked into giving my eggs and stuff to infertility clinics, the money they give out wasn't a factor ... hehehe no it was... but still nice thing to do, unfortunately I don't know my biological father, which they said wasn't a big problem if I had a 4 yr college degree and working on graduate or something, which just seemed bullcrap to me, but whatever...

[x53]

I love my kids and wouldn't have it anyother way. I have a three year old son that loves to play CoH, I have a 18 month daughter (I dread her reaching the dating age, I hope I will be able to handle it in 30 or so years when she is allowed to date) and my 11 year old brother has lived with us since he was five.

Like I said I would never change it, but it does change you. I mostly agree with Rando and the others that have said similar. Your life doesn't have to end, but it does have to change (not for the worst) An easy example of what I mean is now there are few days that we sleep past 8:00am anymore. My wife and I used to lay in bed together and read the paper on the weekends. Now we take turns getting up with the kids so the other can have some quality relaxing time. That is just a small example.

There are some days I miss the freedom of being two adults without kids. The nights where we could not worry about eating healthy (heck lets just grab a bowl of ice cream for dinner and go see that movie). Now we make sure whe eat at a reasonable time and the meals are always balanced nutritionally. And it takes more effort to get some time with just the two of us to go out and see a movie or grab a cup of coffee. We each have a night a week to go out sans kids and hang out with friends, but for me and my wife we are our best friends so the times we get to hang out together are harder to come buy, but really all the more precious when we do get them.

But if you are willing to make a few small sacrifices (and I am) there is nothing (in my opinion) better then being able to look into your little ones eyes and having them say "I love you daddy (or mommy)" The pure joy I get from just looking at them makes my life have meaning.

Sorry to go on and on.

[Tsarmina]

Well, with the number of members that have or want to have kids, I'd say the future of gaming is secure. ;)

[Magna Harrier]

Well, yeah, but that's assuming they can get into the position to HAVE the kid, if you catch my drift. :p

[inkblaster]

With both of our family histories, my fiance and I are secure with this generation sitting out on the messing up of the future of America's youth.

I have no problem with kids, as long as they belong to someone else. ;)

[Malibu Sally]

I could type out a very elaborate essay on all the reasons for not having any children, but it all boils down to this: There is no way that I am ready to raise a child. I am too selfish.

It's really a shame that more people can't come to the same conclusion about themselves. Unfortunately, the only criteria that most people use to determine if they should have children is that they are physically capable of producing one. :(

[Malibu Sally]

Just a little side rant:

How come when a child is born, everyone "oohs" and "aahs" about the length and weight?

"Baby X was born today. Weighing in at 7 lbs. 5 oz and 16 inches." O_o

Huh? IT'S A CHILD! NOT A TROPHY BASS! Please quit obsessing on the statistics and instead celebrate the LIFE behind those statistics.


:endrant:

[Yin]

Every girl I've dated said they wanted kids. I, personally, want kids too, but more than what the average female wants. I'm talking around 8+. Why so many?! Because I love the atmosphere. Always someone to talk to. Brothers and sisters are there for each other in school, at home, etc. There has been ONE girl so far who has agreed to this. She said she wants 12. :p Loooooots of diapers, eh?

[Necra]

hmm with your 12 kids you will truley be the FATHER of your elements :P

[8 Ball]

With the impending wedding I've actually been going through this debate in my head somewhat. My future wife wants children...no doubt about that, but there is a large part of me that thinks I/we aren't ready, I'm not responsible enough, we don't make enough money etc...there's another part of me asking why have children in this day & age? The world has enough people, too many in some cases..why add to it? But ehn there is still yet another part of me that wants to raise my own "blood" so to speak and continue the family lineage (for both of our parents it would also be the first set of grandchildren, something they remind of us constantly :D)

*sigh*...As you can see I'm still undecided :P.

Gah!!! *dies* I just about had a heart attack reading that. O_O I think I'd have committed ritual suicide if I'd had that many siblings. I have ONE brother, and it's hard enough for me! But, then, I can tend toward moments of extreme antisocial-ness, so it makes sense.

:endrant:

Well I believe, and by all means correct me if I am wrong, it was origanally used as an indicator of how healthy the baby was. Bigger chubbier babies had a higher chance of survival.

Believe me when my wife had our son and he was over 10 lbs I am sure she would agree that it is something she doesn't need to be reminded about :D

Hey 8Ball I am by no means trying to tell you to have or don't have... but I just want to say one thing. You can never wait until you have enough money, cause if you do you will never have kids, unless you win the lottery. It just isn't gonna happen you make it work.

[8 Ball]

Oh trust me I know that one :D, but we're doing alright money wise ATM...well until we start to pay off the wedding bills anyhoo :P. It's not that main concern but it's there.

[Thermyte]

I guess im one of the younger members of the forums at 15...
I definately want kids...one reason is my dad is always talking to me about keeping the family going, since im the real last person who can do it (Being the only boy in my family, and my father was an only child with no other relatives with our last name). He is joking of course and wants me to do what I want with my life...but none the less,
Kids are something I want to have. Of course I am in no rush, and planning on being well into marriage before such a commitement.

Also, as Kinetix and attest to, I'm not always the most mature person :P . By that I mean, I'm a goof off.

But definately, kids is a must for me :)

[MikeKAY]

*Psst*

Anti-social generally means criminally violent, usually a disregard of law and social constructs. I just got the mental image of you going berserk and hacking up your siblings. :D You probably meant socially avoidant or schizoidal, both mean tend to not enjoy socializing, but for different reasons. Or, maybe you DID mean anti-social. :chuckle:

[Malibu Sally]

Smartass :D

[Blue Bolt]

I'd like to have a kid someday, someone to pass on my family name because I respect my family so much :)

[Xielos]

I'd like to think I want a daughter someday.

[Poison]

When Sech and I started dating, she told me she'd want to have a kid latest when she was 27. She was 19, I was 17 at that point. It's gonna be her 28th birthday this year, she just started studying last Fall, and the last thing she wants now or in the future are kids. And I'm glad we agree.

[Mahaf]

Well, with the number of members that have or want to have kids, I'd say the future of gaming is secure. ;)
Oh, believe me, my kid will be exposed to the gaming world.. If all goes well, that'll be because his daddy is helping create one. ;)

I've always wanted kids.. Two. Like my brother and I. I would really like for them to be as close in age as my brother and I, so I can watch them play sports together, like we do. As cheesy as it sounds, I sometimes get the warm fuzzies in the middle of a game and I see my brother stealing a base, or making a catch. I know my father is just overjoyed by this, as well. I wanna be able to be in his position one day, watching my two sons (hopefully) doing things together.

[Esbat]

Oven? No, you've got to boil them....like lobsters. That screaming is just the air escaping from their diapers.

Alright, now I've even freaked myself out.

Where in your sick twisted little version of reality did I say I want to ovenize a baby... O_o

I figure if I have enough kids I can raise them up 'til high school age then ship them off to all parts of the world to learn different cultures and then get embroiled in some plot that I try to stop only to "die". Then when they come back and avenge my death only to learn that their unaged hot mom and me, in some kind of magic/robot/armor/suit/body can comeback to save their collective rears at the last second only to haunt them for the rest of their lives as they have adventure after adventure.

[Lotus]

I love being a mom. I have three beautiful girls. They are the best. I can't imagine life without them. And I still want more. Now that they are getting older I want another little baby in the house. Infact, I have been considering not working anymore so that I could take in my brother baby when its born. (His girfriend and him have no clue about taking care of a baby and are scared to try)

[Sebastian Kain]

I would like to adopted and have children of my own.

[Tsarmina]

Now would you be crushed if you ended up having two girls... or a boy and a girl... or triplets?

Oh well... enjoy your triplets Mahaf. :lol:

[Masked Revenger]

I want to add something.

All you people that don't want kids, don't let people tell you that you're selfish, or strange, or whatever. It's your decision, and if you feel you're not ready, you're not. And if you feel that you simply don't want children, that's fine. It's your life, man, live it your way. :)

Also, for those that say that they are "too immature" or don't have the money... you are never mature enough, or have enough money. Never. Even now, knowing I am more mature than when my wife first said she was pregnant, I still feel too immature for a kid. And as for money, you make it work. Don't ask me how, because I honestly don't know, but somehow, everyone I know that has a kid has made it work money wise. I somehow have enough money to pay bills, rent, buy groceries, kid stuff, and still get gaming stuff and comics every now and then, if a little less often than I did before. I still don't know how, but it works. :)

My sister has kids, and watching them grow up I would really like that someday. Perferably not right now, but someday. ;)

Thank you for not making judgements. I really don't understand people who get confused because a perfectly healthy female has no interest in having offspring of her own. Like being able to reproduce means you have to. Bah.

I had a discussion once like that with my cousin. I said I was not interested in having children and was told, "That's awfully selfish of you." Uhh... yeah... no s**t, Madame Curie. She just added weight to my positon and could not grasp that she had done so. :rolleyes:

[Larke]

about the money thing, as strange as it it, without it actually being possible, it still seems to work out as the Revenger said :) hehe

Also 12 kids is nucking futs... i thought i was suppose to have 8 at one time that stupid test you do on your wrist when you're a teenager, it seems to work on so many people, but i better not be having 8!

also, family lineage shouldn't really stop you from having kids... I don't know my biological father and even if i could find him to get family history, he was adopted. But my husband's dad's side has too big a history of bi-polar and his mom's side isn't all that great, she is and is actually wonderful, but everyone else... we try to avoid. yet we still had a kid and want more despite that, cause we know we can do a much much better job and that are kids could actually do something and become someone.

What I was trying to say is that you're NOT selfish for not wanting children. How is that selfish? I'm not sure I understand that. Children are not a requirement in life. Having kids is a job, children are hard. It's like picking a job you'll enjoy over one you won't. Is that selfish? No, I don't think so.

Ahh.. I see what you are saying. But I really have no problem admitting that I am selfish(I really am). I know I would make a crappy at best parent because, quite frankly, I am too focused on me. That's selfishness.

Net result: I do not plan on having children.

As Mina pointed out earlier, we both don't want human children. Pets on the other hand are a fine substitute, and they won't tell you they hate you when discipline them.

On a side note, I happen to catch some of Nanny 911 for the very first time this week. Now, this show is not for me, but it did show a household full of out of control kids. That right there was pretty darn good birth control, if you ask me.

OMG. Did you see that one? 5 kids! The youngest, twins. ALL BOYS.
Man... I love my dog. She's such a good girl... and crate training can't get you in trouble with DCYS. :)

nanny 911 is freaking unbelievable, how the kids get to be THAT bad in the first place, that's almost proof right there that there are so many people who shouldn't have kids!

let's think about this a moment shall we? can any of you that have spoken with me fathom a litter of little stan's? *shudders*

I would become a Stan Slayer instead of the normal Vampire Slayer, having little Stans running around upsetting the natural balance of life as we know it? No, not on my watch buddy.

:chuckle:

*Psst*

Anti-social generally means criminally violent, usually a disregard of law and social constructs. I just got the mental image of you going berserk and hacking up your siblings. :D You probably meant socially avoidant or schizoidal, both mean tend to not enjoy socializing, but for different reasons. Or, maybe you DID mean anti-social. :chuckle:


Heh. I was getting ready to state the same thing. Anti-social is a personality disorder. Asocial is what you want to use. If you're anti-social you need to go the REAL crazy house. :P

*stabby stabs the both of you*

Nyx might be closer to anti-social in the full meaning of the word, if you've ever heard the rest of the story, past what's in her origin... And frankly I don't care what the proper word is because everyone knows what I mean anyway... :grr:

Nyx might be closer to anti-social in the full meaning of the word, if you've ever read her origin... And frankly I don't care what the proper word is because everyone knows what I mean anyway... :grr:

I had a pretty good idea of what you meant. It's just that when I read that I got the image of you going crazy and killing people is all. :p

When I was growing up I did not want children. I never babysat. Children simply bothered me. Then I found myself pregnant. From the moment I realized I was expecting I felt like a mother and I loved it.

Now I have three precious little ones. They are my life. Being a kind, loving, understanding, dedicated mother is my focus. I have been blessed with the ability to stay home with each of them through thier early years. As I head back into the work force being home before my little ones is vital to me.

I hope to have two more children.

"Daddy daddy!.... And ****."

[Mahaf]

Now would you be crushed if you ended up having two girls... or a boy and a girl... or triplets?
Nah, I wouldn't be crushed.. I would just shave them when they're real little so by the time they reach the dating age, they have beards. ;)

I have wanted children for a long time. I thought that it would never happen due to a relationship I was in. (she didn't want kids, I did) I am in a new relationship with a wonderful woman (who definitely wants children), I can let hope flow again that I can become a parent. I love children and know that bringing two new bundles of joy into this world would make me the happiest man on earth. Of course, I'm already the luckiest man on earth, being with her!

[Remianen]

Most definitely.

I'd like to have an NFL squad but I'd settle for a baseball starting lineup. I love children and believe that the biggest impact that I as a person can make on the world is producing the leaders of tomorrow. And not just from skeet-skeet-skeetin'. While I don't have any yet due to my old-fashioned values system (and an irrational hatred for family courts and the formulae used to determine child support), I'm a guy. I've got plenty of time, being only 32. :)
