I don't.  I like my relatives' kids SOMETIMES.
and I don't look to having my own in the future. 
BUT that's just me.
those of you with no kids...are you looking forward to it?
To a person who is set in her ways, not lookiing to further disrupt her life, what's your take?

I'm not really looking forward to it.  I kinda doubt I'll have any.

I'm sure, now that you mentioned it, something like that will show up.

Once you got them you can't help but like them, but they are a world of worry and you will never have a truly sound sleep from
the day they are born.    :-\\

Seriously, no...I've never had any paternal 'stirrings' (and at nearly 40, I don't think I ever will...!)

SAme here. I"m 40 and it never even occurred to me- i never ever thought about marriage- it never crossed my mind. I did it, and it was hard without that "ideal wedding i dreamed of since I was a child".  I have never seen my self in a parental role either...i'm sure there are lots of people that will maintain the population (which is, i  feel, way too high).

Robin doesn't want any kids at all.With both of our disabilities,We might have one crazy messed up kid.She can't have kids anyway cause she has a vein in her foot that If she gets pregnant,It'll swell up like a balloon. :o

I always wanted kids but it just wasn't in the cards for me.  :\'(  I'm actually ok with that for the most part (but there are days....) But I am lucky, I have the benefits of being a grandparent without the headache of being a parent.  ;D

I don't like children, and I'm not fit to be a father.

So no, I don't plan to.

I say no now, but I don't know what the future will bring. I mean, imagining Christmas' without kids.. seems kind of empty to me. I don't mind children much.. it's babies and toddlers that I can't stand.

Christmas is really for the children.. however, I think I deal with a few weird holidays to not have that sort of responsibilty and stress.

I wouldn't mind adopting a child.. one that's 5 or 6. Once they're past the toddler age, they become less annoying.

Yeah, I want a couple.
I might buy some really good one's that have already proved themselves because I don't think I could find a mate that would meet my high breeding standards...
...

..

.

;D!

But seriously, Yeah, I'd love to have a couple, I know i'd kick ass as a Dad.

yeah, i'd like to adopt em after they're at least old enough to old a basic conversation. toddlers are fun to visit but GOD, they're little torture/interrogation machines.

well boys.  I admire you for your desire for family.  can I be a god-parent?

Well...I always used to love children, and looked forward to having at least one or two.....having a child of my own never happened, and I am 29 years old. To most...that is not that old...but to me, I vowed to myself that if I didn't have one by the time I was 30...then I most likely wouldn't think of having one....I just never wanted to be an old parent.  Chris and I have been raising my nephew, Vaughn for the past 2 years...and it has really changed my perspective a lot. He is a very strong-willed, demanding type of child...and he really drains my energy...honestly, I don't know if I could handle having a baby, along with Vaughn (who is almost 4). :o  I guess if it is meant to happen then it will...but who knows?

a bizarre question that's been in the back of my mind lately... if two people have a child when they're older, does that make the child 'older' in a way? or does it make no difference?

like, does it matter if you get born out of an older sperm and an older egg?

I think it is all in how the child is raised. I know of people who have parents who had them late in their life, and they were already set in their ways...and the child ended up being very mature, somewhat of a homebody type of person.

I don't know if I want kids.  Right now, I can't stand them, and anytime they come into an establishment that I'm in, I try to get as far from them as I can.  It seems like every kid I've ever come across in public is rude, loud and disobedient.

i told you it was a weird question.

still, think about it though. you'd still be newborn when you were born, but you'd be starting from older stuff. so wouldn't you be older too, in a sense?

No. 


I haven't seen any scientific or medical evidence to show that if you're born to an older couple, you are in any way "older".

I'm 18.  My father is 58 and my mother is 49.

My reply to the question is God no !
I have never had a maternal stirring yet and I'm 37 now. I used to hate babies, now I don't mind them and am happy to cuddle and coo over my friend's little ones, but I'm also very happy to give them back !!
I have one nephew who I love with every inch of my being, he's an amazing kid but even he hasn't made me feel in the slightest bit broody.    ;D

This is a very valid question, and one with an answer.
They have found that the incidence of schizophrenia in a child increases with the age of the father, and the incidence of Downs syndrome increases with the age of the mother

A quick glance at my anatomy book shows that sperm is manufactured continually after puberty so there is always a fresh supply.  However a woman is born with her ovaries containing a fixed number of immature eggs.

I have heard that anything a man ingests can affect his sperm.  A man exposed to carcinogens can have mutated sperm which can
cause birth defects, the same way a woman exposed to carcinogens can pass the affects on to the fetus.

There are certain chemicals that can mutate either sperm or the egg to cause birth defects.  I can't recall the correct name of them at the moment.

To answer the thread

I have two children and wouldn't be without them despite the hard work they undoubtably are at times.

I always thought I would like to have children.  My husband (who is an only child himself) was undecided for quite a while, especially because a lot of our friends didn't have children.

  I'm finding as I get older that I have less patience for other kids' misbehavior, though :-\\



You should have been at Burger King with me yesterday!  The three women, each with one child, chattering on and on
while their kids whined, cried, fought, it was awful, and the moms were just oblivious.  I finally went over to them and
said, "please, this just has to stop"  They glared at me! Can you imagine?  They left with the kids, but left their mess all
over the place.  I am tired of people who have kids, then abnegate the responsibility of raising them. 

Don't count on it....once they get past 5 or 6, you get to deal with attitude ;D

As many of you know, I have 3 boys.  I'm one of those strange people who LOVED when they were babies/toddlers.  However, I think my kids are pretty well behaved when I compare them to some of their friends and other kids I see out in public.  At restaurants, I've had people stop at our table to commend us on how well behaved our kids are.  One older couple even bought us dessert one time because they saw us come in with the 3 and thought their dinner was going to be constantly interrupted. :o  I'm finding as I get older that I have less patience for other kids' misbehavior, though :-\\

I totally agree. I heard this story (from a waitress) about a kid who would hide under the table and almost tripped the waitress when she had a tray of food. And the parents didn't do anything.  >:(  I can't believe that some parents don't care.


My step-daughter is doing a WONDERFUL job with her daughter. She is in the "terrible twos" but she is far from terrible. Yes, she tests, but her mom doesn't let her get very far with it. When she started to walk, she was taught to put things back where she finds them-and she does.  :o  When we are in restaurants, we get a lot of complements because she is so well behaved. (Yeah, I'm bragging again. I can't say enough how great my step-daughter is as a mother.)

You sound exactly like me, karen...(even down to the part where your husband is an only child)... :)

I'm finding as I get older that I have less patience for other kids' misbehavior, though :-\\


I'm finding as I get older that I have less patience, period!  :o

So, you're not interested in the  long nights, Doctor bills, dentist bills, skinned knees, broken hearts, fender benders, attitudes, prom dresses, college fees, etc...... It's a big barrell of fun, I promise!  ;D
I knew I wanted kids long before I was even married, and I don't have any regrets, except, I wish I would've waited a few more years before I had my first. I was 22, I think waiting 5 more years would've been ok, but, it's been a blast and the worst part for me, was last weekend when my oldest moved out.  :(

I should add that my husband would really love to have a child...much more than I would. He comes from a large family (he is one of 9 children), and a lot of his brothers/sisters already have one or more children...so, I don't know if it's that he feels left out or what....he has a TON of nieces and nephews though.  Although even if today I were to say, "ok, I want to have a child"...I don't think it will be the easiest thing for me to get pregnant (due to hereditary and physical stuff). :-\\

okay, y'all talked me into it. i want a kid now.

I'm now taking applications from volunteers. PM me if you want to have my baby.

hahaha...that one definitely deserved some karma! ;)

What I really miss is family events. My family is spread out all over the US and the world. Its likely we'll never have sunday dinners and bbqs again together.  I sometimes think if I want that, I have to make it myself.
But I"m too set in my ways and getting older every day.
The house next door to me is for sale...maybe a cool familiy will move in and I can babaysit?
(and use the pool?)

Part of me wants children and the other half me worries of all the changes and expenses of having a child would be. I guess it's because I'm not very financially secure. So, having a child would cause a lot of damage when it came to expenses. I'd hate to burden my child of not giving them or providing them with what they need. Yet, if I became more financially stable, I think having a child would seem much more probable. When my mate and I started dating he seemed against having children, but now he seems to have softened a bit. I don't know for sure if he'd change his mind, but I wouldn't mind having a child or two down the road once we both got settled in.

"Love kids? Wanna have some?"

I'm sorry, but my mind hit the gutter as soon as I read this.  This sounds like a proposition to me.

Oh, you know I don't go for women with dogs anyway.

...Why did I feel so dirty typing that?

I never thought I would have kids ... but have ended up with 4 of 'em.  I love them to bits and they are the best thing that ever happened to me.  Some of my best friends I've met through my kids.  Bonus:  I'm not as selfish as I used to be!

I always wanted to have kids -although not so young- I was only 18 when I had my oldest.
didn't have the second until 10 years later and the baby 4 years after that.

I'll have to respect Robin's choice so we won't have children.

I like my younger cousins (ages 5 to 13) and I would like to have kids when I'm older. I've always wanted twins.

I don't want kids nor Do I want to take care of them especially when your girlfriend has a disability.

To be fair... it's probably not a bad idea.

I said before that I thought I'd be good at it.. but.. I'd totally be like my Dad and kinda been absentee for the first few years. Kids are dull until they're about 4.

I have two and that's plenty!

"None."
"Oh, so you're childless?"
"No, I'm childfree."
"Huh?  Whutza difference?"
"Look, you know those infertile couples that are always talking about how hard they're trying to have a kid?"
"Yeah.  Shoot, it took me and the Missus three months and we were starting to get worried."
"Right.  Those folks are childless."
"So what's childfree?"
"Folks who don't have 'em because they don't want 'em.  Big difference."

yes..I do.

Saw a film on it (giving birth) in Sophomore health class (way too many years ago)  It was kinda freaky and surreal.  Wasn't something I wanted to experience personally at any time.  ;D

Well it's still no a year later!  ;D Thankfully for me Ian has gone from wanting kids, to maybe wanting kids to never wanting kids and I didn't have  to do a thing to change his mind.

Saw the thread late

Saw the title

Love kids? Wanna have some?

Uncontrolable compulsion to write "Here, have mine..."

Nope!

Yeah, someday I'd definitely love to have kids (in fact, since I was an only child, I'd probably want to have at least two or three). Although I hope their mom is the disciplinarian. Instead of the common "you wait till your father gets home!" threat of reprimandation, with me it'll be "Wait till your mother gets home, young man!" ;D

Not in the forseeable future...

wow. who re-started this old thread?

My kid is really cool.  I would like to make more but that depends greatly on how my partner in crime feels.  If no more, then I'm very happy with what we've accomplished so far :)

I'd love to see Jess with a little girl.

I have an obligation to breed... otherwise who'll carry on the brutality when I'm dead in a few years?

I mean, you can only corrupt a mind so far, it has to be genetically encoded.q

I'd love to see Jess with a little girl.


Actually, me too, but I have this weird thing where I'd feel...well, weird if I were to bathe her or change her diaper.  Then again, I used to feel that way with Jason but now I can literally change a diaper in thirty seconds :P  Guess I just don't wanna feel sketchy or something.

Jason could use a playmate though, that'd be nice for him.  If not, we'd have to show him how to be friendly.  He already is nice and knows he's cute so he can attract lots of attention and friends in a hurry :D

.. just an idea ya know. Don't want him being all prejudiced and stuff.

You'll have to ask her.

WTF am I supposed to say?  "Hey Jess, is it okay for Davey to mate with you?"

Do you see how totally ridiculous that statement looks?  Imagine how dumb it'll sound coming out of my mouth.

Not that worse statements haven't been uttered before... ;)

Personally I think it's a great statement.

Maybe you should get her flowers or something...

I dunno what kind of flowers she lives, so maybe you do it and I'll let you watch or something?

Get her roses.  Chicks dig roses.

But you're still going to have to ask her first :P

Roses are pretty expensive.. what about grass?

I'll ask her for the both of you. 

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna do it!

Eff this, I'll ask her for the both of you. 


Come on, do I really have to ask?  I mean, do you see how sketchy it is for some guy to say to his wife, "Hey, wife, some random guy wants to know if it's okay to (expletive deleted) you" ??

So I no ask :D

You're a spoilsport.

I was gonna let you share the grass.

I'm not a cow, dude. ;D

I mate with no one but the Asian. And our house is so diverse that it puts Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition to shame.

I'm sorry, but this made me snort out loud.  ;D  ;D  ;D

dude, looks like you'll just have to donate the spermatazoams at the bank. SNL did a skethc a long time ago, about a sperm bank where all the customers were trying to get Hank Aaaron dna, Willie Mays, other celebs, and finally some couple wanted Rodney Dangerfield's. it was funny.

There is someone in my son's class whose mum has just had her sixth child.  Now that's someone who loves kids!

wow. who re-started this old thread?

Nah dude, because of your Howardness.

This thread has earned Jason's contempt.

;D Howard's Howardness shouldn't ban Howard from procreating a baby Howard or many baby Howards, Howard's Howardness is just Howard being Howardly as only Howard can in his own unique Howardy way.  This sounds like something Whistledog would post  :D

I think we need a baby Howard in the many faces of Howard thread

the word "howard" just became like the word "smurf"!

There's a family that I see in the grocery store every week, I think they're up to 9 kids.  :o :o :o

I always feel bad for the older kids since they seem to be responsible for the younger ones.  :-\\

Nah dude, because of your Howardness.


Yeah,I have a little bit of Howardness. ;D

I don't LOVE kids, but I wouldn't mind one or two of my own so I can raise them to be just like me  ;D

the word "howard" just became like the word "smurf"!


Yanno, everytime somebody types "Howard", I'm going to end up ignoring it, and just skip that word.

wow, that's very sad. i hope things work out for you. i know a lot of people here have gone through similar experiences.

o_O She wants to leave you because the kids moved out? Isn't that kind of opposite? Finally get alone time with your hubby...

the word "Dubya", yes.


don't filter that?

Okay?

Behavioral genetics.  Do you have any idea how obnoxious my kid would be? 
;D


My both my sisters and two of my cousins have kids now.  In keeping with Western birth rates, they all have one child each.  Fortunately, they're all girls.  Men have a terrible track record on both sides of my family!

I've never been in a good position to have kids (not what I meant, wiseguy!), but even if/when I am, the answer will be an unequivocal NO.  I have severe depression as does my father. My paternal grandfather and his father both committed suicide from melancholia.  If it were not for modern psychotrophic medications, neither my father nor I would be alive today.  Of that I am certain.  The women in my family have depression, but not like the men, particularly the family line of which I shall be the final issue.
::)


I don't know if I want kids.  Right now, I can't stand them, and anytime they come into an establishment that I'm in, I try to get as far from them as I can.  It seems like every kid I've ever come across in public is rude, loud and disobedient. 

I tend to have the same reaction, but I have to bear in mind what kind of ruckus I used to raise!
