kids

[Ashamed]

who has got them?

Are they a blessing or a curse?

Do they enrich or ruin?

Enrich, but I don't think anyone truly realizes that until they have one of their own. Yeah, your cost of living rises and scheduling can be more of a hassle and your idea of a great time is the Spongebob marathon on TV. But they make up for it in so many ways.

pigeon.. u needa go get some ass tonight. stop that talk. Add about 10 yrs then it's ok. The women are only going downhill from where you're at right now. Get to it.

I love my brothers and sisters kids, but not sure if I want my own. I always said I wanted to get married and have a family when I was younger. Now I'm just not sure anymore.

I want them someday and I think they'll enrich my life. I don't currently think I'd make a good mother though. I'm currently focused on school, my relationship, and work. When I spawn, I want them to have 100% of my energy. I wouldn't want to resent them and feel "held back" by them. Someday they'll be my world and I'll hopefully be able to stay home with them and raise them into moderately-sane little critters.

As my mother normally says...... Kids are great until they hit teenagehood. After that.........its all downhill.

my mom says that shes always loved us, but the older we get, the more fun she has with us, and the more she actually ENJOYS us as people.

Kids are nice...when they FINALLY sleep through the night.

My dad used to tell me:

"The only thing that a parent will teach their children is how to walk, talk, and use the toilet. After that, its a constant test of wills until the kids' leave the homestead."

Someday I'd like to create my own platoon of spawn like myself. Not anytime soon. Got too much going on medically, and professionally to bring a child into this world. I feel it would be like stacking the odds against them from the get go. That and every other girl I look at has me wanting to bone the hell out of her. I don't think I could be settled down this young either; however, if I did bone every other girl I could work on my own batallion instead of platoon.

Even as a kid myself, I always knew I didn't want kids. My husband is the same way. We both had some childless relatives we thought were really cool, and I think that showed us that children were a choice, with their own set of pros and cons, just like any other choice in life.

I like kids as people but didn't want the job of "parent", any more than I wanted to be a dentist, teacher, or anything else I wasn't psychologically cut out for. I think I was born without a biological clock, because even at 40, I've never felt any ticking.

One of the arguments I hear so much is "...but who'll take care of you when you're old?" The truth of the matter is that having kids doesn't guarantee anything. Nursing homes are full of people complaining their kids "dumped them", never visit, etc. Kids or no kids, I feel it's MY responsibility to make my own arrangements for old age, as I can't imagine anything more selfish than passing that burden onto loved ones.

I have 2 sons ages 4yrs and 5 mos. They are very demanding and require alot of time and attention. I always wanted to be a family man, but dont think it is easy-because it is not easy. It is rewarding and IMO worth all the effort.

My lil girl just turned 7 last week. Our baby is growing up waaaay too fast for our likings!

I can say, with 100% honesty, she is a TRUE blessing in EVERY aspect of our lives. She's the BEST gift my hubby ever gave me! She's a total daddy's girl too.

I live for these magic words when she crawls into my lap:
'Mommy, I love you sooo verrrry much".

Brings tears to my eyes EVERYTIME!
