My tolerance and patience for children is very low. I think the infant and toddler phase is cute and I do care that children are being cared for and nurtured. I just have my limits. Will not be producing.

All of those activities (any activity really) are literally 1000 times better without kids thoughThey aren't though, as someone that has experienced them without kids and with, I can assure you they are at the very least just as fun, but usually more fun. --- Mind post.

In my experience as someone who has, believe it or not, actually seen and even interacted with children, I stand by my statement. I cannot think of a single activity that isn't more enjoyable without having to entertain and chaperone a monster the entire time. Know what else is amazing? Not having to explain literally everything and constantly derail meltdownsYou sound like someone that has actually never interacted with children, which is probably for the best. Please don't ever interact with children it won't be good for them. --- Mind post. XBL:Cyanide Sucker PSN:IfGodCouldDie IGN:SuperPattyCakes FC: SW-1615-6159-5504 Boop Trooper reporting for duty. ...

The world would would be a better place if only people who truly wanted to raise kids wanted them. I'm talking about people who read child development books for fun and spend their free time volunteering to help children. It's such an accepted norm to just pop out kids that many people don't even think before having them. Even worse when it's an accident.
Honestly they don't even stay young and cute for very long, most of a human's life is spent as an adult. However people always gush about the infancy to childhood phase but often lose steam once their child becomes an adolescent. If I ever have a kid it'll be through fostering or adoption. --- You don't understand because there is nothing to understand. It's nonsense. -Bahamut ... Copied to Clipboard!

Children are a massive liability and offer no tactical advantage yeah, true, but its nice to have some spare parts should you need them. reared right with a healthy diet i reckon in 10 more years or so i could replace most of my 50+ year old organs with nice fresh 18 year old ones. --- Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...

It's pretty fun and rewarding. Not for everyone though and I wouldn't judge people for not wanting them. Got 2 kids, one daughter from a previous relationship and a stepdaughter. I couldn't be happier with my family

It's not so bad if you're financially secure. My wife doesn't need to work so she pretty much handles all the day to day with my daughter. I pretty much just have to make the money and not be an asshole when I'm home.

I think that if my life had played out differently, having kids would be a more realistic goal.
But Im in my mid-30s, never had a steady girlfriend (lord knows Ive tried ) I work a shitty job that definitely doesnt pay enough to support a child. I only just got an associates degree so i have a feeling its going to be a very a long time before I can get like a real job. If I had like met someone nice and maintained a relationship for a decent amount of time, actually got more education past high school right away, maybe it could have happened. But realistically I think I missed the boat on that. But at least Im smart enough to know its not for me instead of having a kid for the sake of it without being prepared --- These pretzels are making me thirsty! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never understood why people assume that every kid is some sort of spoiled, ill manned brat who is constantly screaming all the time. They see the worst examples and think that the average kid is like that. >_>
Like I understand if people don't want kids because "I cannot financially support them." or "I don't want to waste my time taking care of kids, I want to have fun." but when people start saying stuff like "I don't want to take care of a screaming little shithead." it's like they don't have to be one. lol --- :D Brawlin' Mains: R.O.B., Lucario, Pikachu, Wolf ...

IMO Having a kid is terrible if you aren't well off and live in a good neighborhood. Even then do you really want to bring another soul into this world to suffer given the harsh direction the world is heading in? That is the biggest moral dilema I have when it comes to having kids.
