are children overrated? came across this article, thought it was interesting

mine doesn't take them unless she has a panic attack. which she says she hasn't had in 2 years since her cat got sick and was dying in the hospital.

she uses yoga and herbs to stay balanced.

but my fear is one day if we have a kid and something happens to the kid she will panic and go crazy.

I think its nuts that you think she will panic and go crazy just because she has had a couple panic attacks. Anything can cause someone to have a panic attack, too many stimulants etc. I had a year where I had panic attacks - its really not a big deal.
 
There is an unspoken taboo in our society where if you admit that having kids wasn't quite what you thought it would be and that if you could do it all over again that you would have chosen NOT to have kids, that you are a monster, an evil, despicable monster.

The truth is a large percentage of parents HATE being parents. They will never say it out loud and they can't even admit that to themselves because "only an evil demon" would come to that conclusion, they think.
However, underneath it all, underneath all the B.S. is the truth that we all know:
Children are overrated.
For every precious moment where the little brat does something special, there are 1,000 moments where they drive you crazy.
They literally tear your life upside down. Marriage, sex life, your wives appearance, your social life, the list goes on and on and on.
Oh yeah, the worst part is yet to come - the teenage years. I could write volumes on this subject.
The reason people have children is because of this unwritten societal norm where the standard is to get married and immediately begin to produce offspring because "that's the thing to do".
Here's another fact for you if you're interested in the subject: the highest points of martial satisfaction are: 1) after the kids leave and 2) before the kids were born. Look it up, it's true.

I decided not to have kids or a wife...

And haven't regretted it one bit!!! I look at all my sorry faced friends straining to make ends meet, having the endless honey do lists, soccer games, Dr bills, bitching, whinny little brats, debt up their asses!!.....and me....well I focused on work and saving money and have no debt, date all different kinds of women, no strings attached, buying a brand new custom house that my friends and family can only dream about, and will be able to retire at 45.....
Yea, I may grow up old and have no one but look....most of you will be divorced and so broke after raising kids, alimony, child support, kids college...that you will have nothing to show for it when you are 65 and still have to work till your are dead......sorry thats reality.
My relatives have given up asking. They know better. Then someone always pulls me aside and says, "I would love to have your life".

I think most people end up having kids because 1) They're too stupid to know how to use birth control properly and/or 2) They have an idealistic, completely unrealistic vision of what parenthood entails.

People imagine dressing their daughter in pretty clothes, or playing catch with their son. They don't think about being awoken at 2 a.m. by a sick, screaming kid who just threw up all over the bed, and who doesn't give a shit that you have to get up for work in four hours. They don't think about the mortgage company threatening to foreclose, or the electricity being shut off, because the husband can't pay all the bills on one income. More people should think about these things, and fewer people should be having children. Parenthood should be left to those few couples who are willing to take the good with the bad.

I assume you are not the author of this piece? Though I do not see a link or source, so perhaps you are? But then why would you contradict yourself in the very next post? Plus, as you have no kids, I don't see how you could write volumes on the subject of parenting through the teenage years. But then this author has no kids, and yet apparently deems him/herself an expert on the subject. LOL, sounds like some of the 18-20 year old 6 ft. tall 180 lb. kids on the AAS board who have never done a cycle, but are giving out steroid advice.

I think this is the point of view from someone who is a very selfish and arrogant person. Not for the fact they just don't want kids. For that I definitely agree. Someone such as this would be a horrible parent, and god knows we have enough of them already.

"I don't want kids, so I'll just say, 'the truth that we all know is: children are overrated.' This is true because, they would totally screw up MY social life, MY sex life, MY free time, MY, MY, memememememememememememe. I'll also say how my life is so much better than everyone else who has kids, and how I can afford all the things they can't and it's all because I don't have kids (I'm just better)."

Maybe this author should find new friends who aren't as broke as he/she says all of his/her friends are. My wife and I have a kid, and several of our friends have kids, and none of us are hurting financially. I do have some single friends though, who couldn't fucking touch our lifestyle. I wouldn't love to have this author's life. I bet his friends and family hate him too.
 
i wouldn't mind having ONE kid. but only with a sane woman.

I won't say they don't exist, because I found one. But, finding one is like finding a needle in a haystack son. I ran through a LOT of crazies before I got lucky.
 
haha. the one i am dating now has anxiety and has xanax in her purse. thats a problem i suppose. i'm scared if i marry her one day she will turn nuts one day.

she's cheating on you.


and lol @ "turn nuts" bish carries xanies in her purse...she already IS nuts.
 
dude i left my girl in chicago that has the same thing. but she is different then all the girls i have met. she is just straight up cool. never gets jealous. i just cant explain how shes different but she is. BUT she gets really bad anxiety and has super bad problems with her mom. carrys around xanax and shit. From a girlfriend standpoint she is perfect but im afraid of the other stuff. and she has super bad health problems. she gets sick like every month and doctors dont know why.. has strep throat and shit all the time. gets high fevers. its weird. if i marry her im afraid she's either going to get super sick or shes gonna go crazy because of her mom.

again, LOL @ "gonna go crazy"! wtf is wrong with you d00ds? She IS crazy!


Oh, and obviously...



she's cheating on you!
 
and she has super bad health problems. she gets sick like every month and doctors dont know why.. has strep throat and shit all the time. gets high fevers. its weird.

dx: full blown AIDS...



from all that cheating on you!
 
Or....you could do what my hubby did....find a woman that already has a kid (or two, in my case) AFTER the diapers and all that no-sleeping BS....and who are well behaved...... :) I wonder sometimes if my hubby actually wants a baby of his own (because I am done - that would be a deal-breaker), but whenever he's around his twin brother's baby, he is very glad he's never had to change a dirty diaper in his life......

So he didn't just shoplift the pootie? Good guy.
 
lol @ doods thinking their GF isnt batshit while carrying around xannies in her purse.

It is horribly UNDERATED! I never knew what pure love was, heard about it, but until you hold that child, I'm not sure you ever will. I absolutely LOVE being a dad. All of it, the shitty diapers, feeding, and now being coach, playmate, and Dad. As I said before many times, God gave me something that I didn't deserve, and I'll never be able to repay that gift. As I see it, all I can do is try and be the best parent that I can.

In my experience, the parents who aren't thrilled with it, are the same ones who still want to be single, act single even though thery may be married. They probably had a child thinking that it somehow would make them feel loved and wanted in some way, and it didn't. Now, they have the same mental deficites and the pressure of a child/ children. I know several parents who will say that they probably wouldn't do it again, that's the ones who are still at the lake drinking, doing dope, going to bars, cheating on their spouse, many other forms of selfish behaviors, etc. They are obviously still children themselves. Their kids are poorly behaved because they are constantly shoved unwillingly from g-parent to g-parent, left with friends, and little or no disipline.

I don't miss anything, hockey games, baseball games, movies, or any of that. I'm coaching all the sports, and taking them with me to the movies. I did wait till I was older, 37, before I became a parent.

I LOVE it, wouldn't change a thing. The greatest job in the world, being Dad.
