Do you want Kids?
I created a thread like this a few years ago and I thought it would be interesting to see changed opinions and new member opinions.
The title asks you, do you want kids? Answer the question ya schmuck. Reasons if possible. Anyway, in the old thread I was a no-kids fundamentalist. Now I've changed. I would like ONE Daughter, no more. I have little reasons, possibly the idea of a person who's entire life is roughly based around what you teach them is cool. I'll try and think up some more reasons. Enjoy. |

Don't give me those faces! You've been cheating on me again haven't you!
:compmad: It's ok, your little pixelated mass has been destroyed. |
No, I hate the little shits.
|
I'd love to have kids someday. Hopefully two, three at the most. I want to give them childhoods with a happy set of parents (and with no extreme violence) that I couldn't have myself.
|
Someday. Maybe one boy. One.
I currently hate small children. |
I also hate surrounding by little kids. But I would like to have of child of my own one day, a boy.
|
imagine having to go to sleep with crying having piss on the bed and DIAPERS!!
But i would say sure a boy. |

Have kids? Well, I believe that I shouldn't get married(religious and personal reasons) so the only way is to adopt. Which would be fine, but I've heard adoption agencies have a huge bugs up their asses about letting single people adopt. So, screw it: One less headache for me.
P.S. It comes out to about 180,000 bucks American to raise a kid to the age 18, which would be what, about 100,000 pounds? And thats all pre-college and assuming that you don't send them to a private, parochial, or boarding school. You could easily blow upwards of a quarter million when all is said and done. |
make him dropout :cool:

Anyway, I'd like to have between 1-2 kids. Maybe a boy and a girl. I hear that girls are more likely to take better care of you when you get all old and decrepid. They're also less likely to pull the life support machine plug :D. |
I definitely want kids.
As hard as it may be to believe, I'm actually quite wonderful with children. Besides, I'm going to need someone to humiliate for shits and giggles, right? |
In practice, no. I really dislike little kids. Wait scratch that. There's one kind of kid I don't like: the ones in Denny's. I swear to god. Maybe it's some sort of vortex around Denny's that changes an otherwise normal kid, maybe it's just the kind of kids that are drawn to Denny's restaurants, but I swear they're not normal children in those restaurants. They're demon children! Agh! Actually it's probably their family's fault. Denny's families are always like white trash, live with the grandma families and the dad's in a white undershirt and the mom's a few months pregnant with two little kids already making her life hell. Denny's sucks. I don't go there anymore. Actually there are an infinite number of reasons for not going to Denny's. Anyway.
Other little kids are fine. I don't connect with them (I feel really stupid around little kids, isn't it odd? You'd expect a person to feel goofy around older people, but I don't especially, no more so than I feel goofy around just about everybody, but somehow it's the little nonjudgmental tykes who make me feel all weird and embarassed. Last year my reading class read to like second graders. It was awesome, but I always felt like my reading buddy deserved someone cooler. All the other people in the class suddenly became big brothers and sisters, but I felt all out of my element.), but I like them. So the answer is yes. Yes I do want to have children. Probably two or three. Once I had this vision of myself. It was kind of a dream (I was in a sort of half-sleep fantasy land I go to). It was cool. I had kids and I was married to this woman. Those dreams are strange, eh wot? The ones where you live out your entire adult life in six hours and wake up still a teenager? Gawrd those are weird. I live for moments like that though. In my early years, I looked neither to the future nor the past because every moment was in glorious rose-tinted perfection and nothing could ever get nor ever had been better or worse. Now I look back in remembrance of those days and feel remorse that they ever ended, but on the other hand I look forward to what my life will be like when things start to work out. The present is, for me, a blank. So um yes. I'd like kids. |
Absolutely. I'm wonderful with children, and I love them to bits. I'd raise them like my Mother has raised me, though I don't know how I'd handle issues such as religion. More than likely I'd raise them as a Catholic, at Catholic Schools, like myself. I wouldn't give up my Catholic upbringing for anything, so I don't see why I wouldn't pass it on.
Alcar... |
I would raise my child/children from a non-religious stance. Teaching them that the best thing that they can believe in is themselves. I wouldn't put them through birthrite ceremonies. If they want to be Religious later on that's their choice, I won't force Religion on them.
I am no good with young Children unless I really try, which I don't but if a child is your own there must be some sort of special bond that makes you aspire to be a good parent/ role-model. I don't really like young children. But after the age of 6 things start looking up. |
Yes, I definately want children.
I'd like 3/4 kids, and I don't care whether they're a girl or a boy. I love little Kids, they're really sweet. And when they draw you little pictures, it's so adorable! ^_^ I don't think I'll be to fond of teenagers mind... I'd love to give my kids a great upbringing, where they have great memorys and I'll always try to do things with them (like making stuff, and arts and crafts) whilst they're young. I wouldn't force christianity on my kids, I'd try to show them different religions (sp?). But afterall it's their own choice. *goes off insearch of ferill |
Um, no way. I've seen Nanny 911 ya know.
|
Grk! God dammit! Don't let a stupid 2-bit basic cable network's shitpile programming make up your mind for you!
If that was a joke I apologize. I think I'd prefer to have a boy or boys. Simply because there would be no gender gap between us. Hmm yeah, teenagers. Scary thought, that. |
My inital response is no. But...10 years down the line when life is getting you down and you're sick of spending money on yourself (what??!!) I suppose you'd want to brighten up your life and relationship by adding a few of the blighters. One day i'll understand why people not being able to have kids is so upsetting ;)
