What about children?

Quoted for the undisputed truth.

I absolutely despise other people's children. When I worked at Rhino Video Games last year, It seemed like every parent with demon-posessed little antichrists would come in and let the little bastards run around and knock things over while they looked for that "gotta have it" copy of Madden 2003. Sure, every once in a while one would shout across the store, albeit with their back turned and focused on the back of a game box, to their hellspawn "Hey! Stop running around!" But they don't listen. They never listen.

If I am to have a kid, (I say "kid" because after the first one I'm getting a vasectomy so it never happens again.) I'll make sure (s)he is well-behaved and doesn't act a fool in public. No child of mine is gonna run around stores wreaking havoc and tell me "No" when I tell them to do something.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind having children with my girl. She's the perfect vessel for my child, really, I can't want anything else. Did I mention she is fucking A D O R A B L E?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have no problem with kids at all. But I have zero tolerance for the spoiled rotten ones. I hate it when I see a kid throw a tantrum in public over something so minor. The stupid kid makes the patent look incompetent.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

yeah... and it's really annoying too seeing those stupid parents give in to those disgusting kids too! I tend to avoid hanging around with most kids and babies cos' I just feel awkward around them.... but some kids are really angelic ... so i guess it depends on which child i'm with...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm studying to become a primary school teacher.

I love kids and I look forward to becoming a father.

How ya doing, buddy?

And what girl wouldn't be turned on by somebody talking like an alien rapist intent on crossbreeding with her species.

THE VESSEL IS ESCAPING.

I can stand some kids but others just annoy the hell out of me. I can stand them once they hit about 9 or 10. When they're younger than that they just tend to annoy me so much. I've got this little cousin who always wants me to play with her whenever she comes round and i'm just not good with kids in general. That's probably why i don't like them. I never know what to do with them if they ask me to play with them or something. They're also a bit too 'in your face' with me. I prefer to be left alone.

Maybe my opinion on them will change as i get older, but currently, i'm not even considering kids in the future.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am definitely not mature enough for kids. Aside from that I don't know what to do with them...typically they scare me like non other. I don't think I will live long enough to get kids anyway.

This made me laugh a lot. And think... yeah, I'm not sure how hot I'd be on being called a "vessel."

Planning on dying REALLY early? And why/how?

I figure I could die relatively early, which puts a bit of a damper on the whole having kids thing... I wouldn't want them to be teenagers and mom-less.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have a son and that's all I want. When people ask me if I'll have anymore, I say "NEVAR!!!". Of course, nobody believes me, but I'm dead serious. My son is no problem at all and all my family says he acts like me and not his father (thank goodness!). Besides, why have another one when I've already got a good child?

But seriously, I really don't want anymore children. People keep trying to convince me that I'll change my mind. They keep telling me what if the next guy I marry wants children. I will make it plain and clear in the beginning. NO MORE CHILDREN! I'm going to get "fixed" as soon as I can find a doctor to do it. That's how serious I am.

Probably around the fourth or fifth grade. I figure tehse ones aren't old enough to give you lip but are old enough to not be dribbling all over the place.

But my degree will qualify me to teach from grades 1 through 7 so who even knows.

When it comes to kids, I am adoptiong. There is no way that I am going to carry one when there are things about my gene pool that I do not want passed down... plus the way I look at it is why should I make a child when there are already children in the world with no homes or families?

I am in my twenties and I really do not want a kid now. There are things in life I want to do first before I have to give up my freedom to raise a kid. Knowing me I will begin the adoption process for a little girl from China in my mid or late 30's and married.

I have to say, I really really don't want kids just due to the fact that there's such high overhead involved and also not to mention, though I don't like to admit it, I'm a selfish bastard-- meaning I don't want to have to devote time and resources to developing a new human being and raising them the right way, which goes into a whole other argument..

so the short and shallow answer is no because I'm a selfish prick.

FELIPE NO

I definitely approve of that! When I was younger, I said I would adopt just because I was so terrified of the birthing process. Now that I'm older... I'm STILL terrified of the birthing process. But regardless, I've decided I want some of my own kids, because... I dunno, just something about creating a human being with someone you love and grow old with. Something about seeing you in another person. It's like you, but better--or at least has the potential to be better. I guess it's kind of selfish, if you think about it.

Though, as you said, there are things in my gene pool I'm not anxious to have passed on.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'd like to be a father someday. Someday being after I've graduated from college, have a decent job and I am married. I want to make sure I can provide for them and I'm not gonna knock some chick up I'm not married to just because I want a kid. It wouldn't be fair to the kid since he probably wouldn't have a mother.

I don't know how many I'd like to have or what their gender will be; it doesn't matter to me and it'll probably depend on what my future wife wants. The only objection I have is for her to not to continuously get pregnant. I think there should be at least three years between each kid. It really annoys me when I see the mother in a conservative, religious-freak family pregnant, holding a baby, with her 2, 3 and 4 year olds tagging along.

When it comes to raising the kids...I never see any balance in any of the parents I know. They either let their kids run wild, do whatever they want with very little discipline or they are overly harsh on them and let them do next to nothing. I don't want to spoil my children or turn them into whipping boys, but give them a decent balance...

In all honesty, I think the biggest obstacle for me is trusting my future wife with my future kids. Despite all of the Lifetime-esque stereotypes against men, I can honestly say that every single problematic parent I know is the woman. But hopefully I'll trust my future wife enough that I won't worry and even more hopefully she won't be a total bitch to my kids when I'm not around.

Yeah, that would be another reason I would rather adopt, I have been present for the birth of my neice and trust me.... it is not pretty.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
