Wow..... Made it through all 15 pages.... I'm glad I sat down and read it. I'm 28 years old. I have NO kids. I've helped raise a couple. I personally feel that a uterus should have an application. MANY people should not be allowed to have kids. I pay for other peoples kids everyday and it makes me livid come tax time when they get thousands back and I can't even get enough to buy a decent ray.

All I know is I made a mistake and have too many rays. I can not afford to feed them. Whjen the hell is uncle sam sending me $ to feed my babies.

Rally I agree with you 110%. To those that believe we should have kids....... Mind your own friggin business..... And go get a stingray...... if you don't have a stingray allready you WILL change your mind someday.......everyone does........ha ha ha
 
As a parent of two I can only admire your honesty and except the simple fact you don't want kids.Good on you Levi:thumbsup:. I can tell you how much I love my kids and that there is nothing I would not do for them till the cows come home.While this is true I have no right nor the will to force my opinion or the belief on anyone. As others have said, for what ever reasons...(Some are meant to be parents..Some are not) I wish there were more like you personally as there are already too many parents that take raising children too lightly. I even have family members who fit this description.Maybe these are the ones us parents should be forcing an opinion on.

p.s. My spouse and I have friends who never want children and they treat our kids very well.For what it is worth, we have always respected their decision. Even though we believe they would make great responsible parents, we have never once told them they should have kids. Sometimes we as a couple envy them and their freedom;)
 
I don't want kids because I'm 8 and a half.
 
well, if you don't want kids, and now Rallysb1tch made it clear she doesnt either then why would you go and have kids?? There is no reason for it and to me having them b/c you are pressured into it would be just as bad as those parents who wont stop having them even though they cant properly care for them.

As long as the both of you agree, then good for you. Tell everyone else to mind their own business. it isnt their life, its yours.

I am 25 and I've asked and asked to be sterilized and doctors tell me "not until you are 30"

wtf? age is nothing but a number...
Click to expand...
But to doctors numbers are everything... maybe it has something to do with the medical aspect of it also... but one thing is great ...that you both feel the same way.... it is very depressing and very hard for a couple who are together because of a deep love but do not feel the same way about having children.. as long as you agree you are the two that matter for a lifetime... nobody else...
 
ok, i didnt read the whole 15 pages, but i read the first two and the last one, and i dont think the subject got derailed at all, so heres my two cents.

this may sound selfish, but as i learned in ethics, everyones acts are about 99% of the time in their own self-interest, anyways.

my gf wants to have kids. i dont. i can respect the fact that she wants kids but i am still iffy on it.

my problem is that i have aspirations for my future fish tanks, all i am really concerned about is being with my gf, school, work, and fish.

and with these aspirations comes a price. she says she wants to wait a few years after we get a house to have kids, i could agree with that, but at the same time, i want to save up about 30,000 for my shed with ponds in it and three tanks in my basement. but what i see happening is that by the time that goal amount comes around, so will a child, and that money will be drained quickly on assorted purchases etc., therefore, killing my aspirations right on the spot.

i want to get these things set up as soon as i move into a new place, but i also see the money going towards furniture and appliances, you know, less important stuff...... plus with the food costs on some larger catfish, plus the electric and water bills, im afraid that once a child arrives, or even before that, all hope will be lost.

then it would turn into waiting "just another year....", into me not having anything and look its graduation day!

idk just how i see things playing out for me, i really hope that doesnt happen.....

i can really agree with you on not wanting to have kids. waking up in the middle of the night, the puking, pooping, the screaming (omg!), my gf's sister had a kid, and after about 10 seconds of screaming i am about ready to walk out of the room.

i did not know you couldnt get one until you were 30, which is crap, is 14 year olds can get abortions, why can we get an outpatient procedure done, its our body, our money, our choice.

although i dont want any, i will probably end up having one, but that is far down the road, thank the lord. and it is yet to be set in stone, and i am the only one who is able to pass the chisel if you know what i mean. (good pun eh?)

the biggest problem i have is that, i just got out of high school, and kids these days, have no respect whatsoever. id love to teach my child to be respectful, and to not be some *bleeped out word*, but its too hard almost.

id also like to make sure that they were raised much better than i was, really the only i have to like for being a parent.

theres my two cents

i have children and i will tell you that i am completely in love with them...and that you should think long and hard before having them. they are a LOT of work and money adorable when they are small,but once they are teenagers,you will do almost ANYTHING to get them out of your house,never to return except on holidays! bill cosby was on the mark with that one! i apply to colleges/ the military and and jobs FOR them,hoping SOMEBODY will take them! and what do others say when i tell them this? 'they come back"
noooooooooo.........!!!
