tradition and having kids

Robert Jan said:
It just hit me that ALL my ancestors, all of them, had kids

but i dunno if i ever want to. its gonna stop

So don't. Your kids will be better off not being born if you don't want them.
 
See Killah...I might not be an English major, but this blondie can be smart once in awhile.....
 
I wouldn't mind having kids

as long as I can get rid of them when I get tired of them.

Those are grandchildren Alien....have to have your own first...or you could just babysit

I suppose you are right.

I have a nephew and when he was small and cute I would use him to attract girls whenever I was out. No matter how many times I told him I was his uncle he always called me "Daddy" in front of people. Damn little punk ruined my game, lol.
 
Kids are great! I've got two myself.

I often sit and wonder is amazement when the oldest is talking about his day and tells me about his problems (he's three). Apparently, life in the daycare is not all its cracked up to be and there's some bitch (I think she's four) who is pissing him off. The funny part is that I can see him chase her when he's alot older.

As for the youngest one, he's just learned how to walk and talk so I sit and get to watch his progress day after day. Its like I'm watching some learning take place. For example, yesterday, he learned that the cat doesn't like it when you hit it with a wooden spoon and would probably defend herself.

I can hardly wait until their older and I can get them to start training. I've got the squat rack all ready. :) I'm hoping to use that instead of buying them fashionable clothes.

This way, when the ask for the latest Nike / Fubu or whatever because the people at school tease them, I'll just tell them to kick the crap out of them. jkjk...well, sort of anyways...
 
When they ask for FUBU it's time to apply post natal abortion, not some kind of bodybuilding tactic...

I'm glad you are enjoying parenthood.

who knows you might have enjoyed life if you were not a parent too though

anyway being a parent could be cool

its just weird to realise everybody before you was a parent

I'd like to be descendant of an eternal bachelor

Well, I'm thinking that when kids ask for Fubu, its to fit in and be cool. What I'm hoping is that its better for them to be in shape then to be a fat teenager wearing a fubu shirt looking like wanna-be hip hop gangster. I'm hoping that I can convince them that it would be better to look in amazing shape and be some ridiculous body fat percetage then to be some company's advertising bilboard.

Who knows, you could well be mine or BBF's son and not even know it. Then you would be the descendant of eternal bachelors.
 
i never wanted to have kids, nor did i think i would be a good father if i did have children.

now with one of my own and her daughter from her ex-husband, i'm not doing too bad.

but about her daughter...you know how hard it is to raise someone else's kid? i do what i can to treat her like my own, i know she's in contact with her father occasionally, and i've met and have conversations with her grandparents (dropping her off today with them for the weekend), and we get along fine.

but when she's mouthing off, it takes a lot of restraint on my part to not give her a good smack like she deserves. i'm a bit hesitant to do so for a few reasons. #1 being that the more you apply corporal punishment to a child, the more severe it has to become in order to "make your point." they become dulled to it, desensitized. it's not a good thing to do. #2 i feel i should be able to control my children with my voice. it shows how effective of parenting skills i have and how much they respect me. i had a Drill Instructor basically tell us the same thing about the way he handled the platoon. #3 i just feel bad about it because she isn't my child. #4 i follow my dad's rule of hitting kids..."only when it's absolutely necessary in order to put the fear of god into them, because nothing else is working." even then, dad never hit us hard, just a wake up call.

had to give her a smack yesterday as a "wake up call" because she's been ultra mouthy lately, and we've been warning her. as i was "correcting" her, she rolled her eyes and started gazing off in the other direction purposefully. didn't hurt her, just got her attention back. i can't even remember the last time i laid a hand on her, but i'm sure it was close to a year ago. i feel kinda bad today, but i'm damn sick of being treated like i don't exist considering that i've been raising her for over half her life.

parenting isn't easy at all, that's for sure. if you don't feel you're ready, take precautions to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. you have that choice.
 
Out of all my siblings I am the only one who is not a parent. I never will be unless I adopt. I don't want to be a parent, ever, so I won't be adopting either.

I come from a large family on both sides. My mom is one of 15. My dad is one of 6. All my cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, have at least three children. When I told my mom last year that I was never going to be a mother she almost cried. She told me I was selfish because I didn't want to be a parent. :rollseyes: She said, if she would of made that choice I wouldn't be here today. Didn't make me change my mind. I love children when they are well-behaved. I like babies because they are cute, quiet, and sleep all day. After they start moving and making lots of noise the cuteness wears off and I'm sick of them. I have 26 total nieces and nephews. The youngest one is 9 months old and although I love her she is annoying as can be!

I agree with you girl.....

My mom got very upset when I decided not to have kids..... but they lived in FL & I'm in DE so when would they see them? Then I got divorced so to me, divorce is easier with no kids.....

Man.....I can't think of anything better than being a parent. I love it....unconditional love and is just amazing.

I can get that from a pet w/o having to pay for college. :)

Yep, unconditional love is amazing.....every day when my kitty snuggles next to me and just wants to be near me.....I just love it....

I've always wanted kids. It's not because it's expected or because I am continuing tradition. It's simply because I love kids and I can't wait to have my own.

What's scary is that I am actually wanting them a lot sooner than I had originally planned. I've spent a little bit of time with my 6-months-old cousin lately and there's just something I can't describe when I am holding him. I feel like everything is right with the world and it's just this weird feeling of contentment. What's more is that it came so naturally, holding him and all that.

Now I'm not saying that I am ready to go hop in the sack with some guy just so I can get pregnant. It still has to be "that" guy and by that, I mean the man I can see myself with for the rest of my life. So no, I'm not ready to have kids at this exact moment, but I'm really starting to consider the values of a family vs. a career. That's something it took me a long to really see.

I keep telling Mom she had better be nice to me because one day my brother and I will be choosing her nursing home. For some reason, she never really appreciates that comment. :verygood:

That is what I tell people......my daughter makes every worry seem non-existant when she says things like, "daddy, you're a good fixer"....LOL...she told my wife yesterday that "daddy is a good person, mom"....LMAO.....I also have another little one on the way...can't wait!

Fuck kids. Selfish little pieces of crap.

For the love of God please don't ever reproduce!

You are on the right track so far...

Exactly. I used to work with kids and even if I had a bad day, they could usually make it a little brighter. (At least, most of the time.) Some people take them for granted so much.

The way I see it (you), you really have no choice in the matter.

lol, not unless he considers rape as an alternative, or perhaps the hooker forgot to take her pills for that month.

I never wanted to have children because I couldn't justify bringing a life into this fucked up world. But my ex got off the pill and I had been told that I was sterile at one time, so I didn't know if I could have children. She got pregnant immediately. It wasn't the milk man, the kid looks just like me and is twice as mean. It's a tough job and certainly many are not cut out for it.

I went and saw my niece's baby boy today. He is 5 days old. One of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. I had to kiss him on his little lips.

Speaking for myself, I didn't have a kid to take care of me. If I ever get in that condition, I'd rather be in a home than be a burden to my child. :)

LOL. My daughter pisses me off worse than the dogs sometimes and I get the urge to smack the heck out of her, but I love her greatly and I know she feels the same.
