| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00  | I know there are quite a few board members who have kids on here, so I'm going to pose this question. I'm almost 23 and as of yet have no desire to have children. I have absolutely no patience for children, they're cute but I would never want to take one home LOL I have a couple friends who are parents already and I seem to want to stay as far away as possible from them when all they can talk about are the dumb things their kids do. I don't have anything in common with them anymore. At some point, does this instinct kick in? I've seen some really bad parents who shouldn't even have kids out there, but do. Just wondering about your thoughts...  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 01 | I used to think I didn't want children. You always see the annoying ones, running around, not listening. Bratty little things. But sometimes it's the parents. They kids are bad just for the attention. But I've kind of changed my mind. My friend has two girls, 3 yrs & 3 wks. I think they are cute and good, and fun. I get to play Tent in the living room, and blow bubbles, and run around. And just do all the silly things that you stop doing as an "adult." They are alot of work though. At 24 I know i'm not ready. If it wasn't for my friend's family, I'd probably never see her, she wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I also know some people who waited until their 30's. They got their partying out of their system, then "settled down" It's actually fuuny to hear about their whole "before kids" life. ~~~~> I like meat. Raw red meat.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Ok I think you are talking about two,two different things here Spit 1. the desire to have kids 2. the instinct to take care of kids Both don't always go hand in hand. And I am not sure which you are asking about. Remember don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | talking about a little bit of both, I think...I'm just curious if attitudes change as you get older...will I ever change my mind like at 30? Just curious about life experiences in relation to the decision to have kids mainly | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Ok hope this helps. I have three girls, a 10 yr old and twin 8 yr olds (I know poor bastard, lol) We (my wife which was my gf at the time & I) did not chose to have kids, it just happened on one drunken night. Your perspective and your priorities change real quickly. Some people come to the reality check that you are now responsible for a life that soley depends on you. And every thing else comes second, family and friends included. Some don't or try to get out of it. It's real hard to explain, but I wouldn't trade a minute of the last 11 years since I met my wife. I've been thru 2 am feedings to getting little kisses on my cheek in the morning. To taking a child to the hospital. You take the good with the bad. You'll know when your ready, you just will. Remember don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things This message was edited by SNAKEBITE on 5-16-01 @ 3:09 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Hey SonOfSpaz, that has to be the dumbest statement that I've heard in a long time. Or were you just trying to be funny? If that's the case, you failed. Miserably. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | My husband and I started dating when i was 23.After being with him for a couple of years, I pictured us getting married and having 1 or 2 kids.We did discuss when and if we did get married, we would have a kid.Finally after 10 years, we got married.At the same time friends of us who were married started having kids.We started thinking about how time consuming and expensive it would be having one.We finally decided not to.Our friends that do have children tell us sometimes they are jealous of us.We are able to go out anytime we want without worrying about babsitters.We can travel anytime we want.To this day I'm glad we didn't.We dated for 10 years, and will be married for 10 years.I'm now 43.No regrets.Hope it doesn't sound selfish. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | Spit, your still young, you can change your mind. I cant remember if i always wanted them, but once you meet the right person to share your life with then kids just add to that relationship. but god damm, they take ALL your time ,attention,energy..you become someone's "Mom" how scary is that?? and believe me it takes away from your relationship with your man. it can be real hard at times. but overall i wouldnt give them up for anything. the little brats that they are!!! hope this helps!
