kirks5oh Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 got 3 kids (twin 3 year old girls, and a boy who's almost 2). i'm done. they are a handful, but i wouldn't trade it for anything. of course kids cost money, priorities get rearranged---that's part of growing up. still have a separate garage filled with cars/tools/tv's/kegerator/etc.--kids aren't allowed in there. everything else can get destroyed.

Berto Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I hate to sound like a hippie but I am maxing out at 2. Maybe its not such a problem here in the US, but in general I think that the world in 30-50 years will be overpopulated. It will be hard to support that number of human flesh. Food, trash, sewage. So I'd like to do my part at not making it any worse. 2 kids will replace myself and whomever the mother turns out to be once we are dead.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Your not sounding like a hippie, I read an article on Yahoo the other day that is already predicting over population and not enough food supply with in the next 50 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I still can't believe people that say "no kids, never!" I've always wanted kids and looked forward to the day I could afford them and have them. Now we've got one and hope to have a second (or maybe third) someday. It's all how you raise them and bring them up (ya there are a few bad apples but that's with everything). The greatest part of my day is getting my daughter up or coming home from work to her... No matter how bad your day is, they always make you laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Kids were never really a priority for us or our marriage. We said we'd have a serious talk about kids at 30 and at that point kids were still not on the radar. Really the only time we ever thought that it might be a mistake was when Yasmin had to get chemo and was told she more than likely will never be fertile again. Things get put into a different perspective when you are told you no longer have a good chance at that option. Right now we've still got 3.5 yrs until she's done with the meds and we'd even be allowed to try to have children, but even then I think our decision would still remain the same. We've come to terms it'll likely just be us and the dogs and are both happy with life and grateful for what we have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Kids and family > being alone or with just friends Step outside of your own box a little. Happiness is different for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Step outside of your own box a little. Happiness is different for everyone. No thanks I like my little box. Especially will like it when I'm in my final years. Family and blood then will most definitely be rewarding. In terms of happiness, your mileage may very, that's true.

Family and blood then will most definitely be rewarding. In terms of happiness, your mileage may very, that's true. I wasn't saying to literally step outside of your own box. More figuratively, to consider that last line. I'm glad you've found what works for you. But to judge what should work for others based on what works for you is as foolish as others judging what should work for you based on what works for them. So someone else could as easily say that you are fooled into thinking you are happy by fitting into societal norms and believing what you were told should make you happy growing up. They could say true happiness is not having kids or a family and being free, only because that's what works for them. That's obviously not true for everyone, nor is the opposite. If everyone were the same, how boring would this world be? Stepping outside of your box figuratively, even if unoften, to try to understand others is what makes people human because it's the only way you can empathize with others. Otherwise we are no better than bonobos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 From about 15 - 25, I was famous for the "No Babies" quote whenever asked about if I wanted kids. Then, planned kid #1 came. Then, I said, "maybe 2". Then, planned kid #2 came. Then, since both were boys, I said, "meh, 2 is good." Wife wants a girl. Ok, maybe a 3rd. Then, planned kid #3 is in the oven now. Now, I am saying, "girl, or not, 3 is it". Have your ideas on kids changed as your family has grown? Each one just makes me happier to come home from work and see them. How times change. I said the same thing. Had 2 boys and she wanted a girl. I got lucky and the third was a girl. Tubes snipped, clipped, and burned and anything else they can do. 3 is enough. Especially when they get up in age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I let the wife decide, though I could have had them years sooner and it would have been fine with me. We just had #2 so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Kids = awesome. My wife, 2.5yr old daughter, 1mo old daughter, and I just finished watching The Little Mermaid for the first time as a family. There are no words for what its like to see them so excited. The best part about kids is getting to experience everything through their eyes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I always figured I'd have a couple kids. My life got a big jump start when I got married at 19 and she immediately got pregnant, I'm just greatfull to have a wonderfull wife who was patient while I got my shit together. She had a few complications while pregnant, and we didn't want to risk it. Now my daughter is almost 10 and we never a wanted a big age gap so we're done at 1. Things just didn't really go like we thought, we both talked of 2 kids and having some fun before hand, hell we were 19 and 21, but it just didn't go that way. We're content where we are.

TurboRust Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 3 years ago I woulda said "no kids" however after being around my niece, I decided we had to have one of our own. so I chained the woman upside down to a picnic table and inserted my semen into her for 3 weeks straight until she became pregnant.. I suggest this for anyone trying to make cute babies. She just turned one and I dont regret a thing.. no more though http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/Turborust/DSC_0006.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/Turborust/DSC_0116.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/Turborust/DSC_0078.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I will admit DINKs have a ton of fun, and I see the allure, however I can't explain the feeling of seeing you child's face smile as she says DADDY and runs to hug you. Like kittens, I wish the would stay this age forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bit of a hard time when we had or first. It went on for what seemed like forever, and just about gave up. Given that Norah is a year and three weeks younger so I'd say the seal was definitely broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
