Do you want kids?

heh...I am 40 (and my wife is 39), so no more for us.

I always thought I would have kids. Then I met my wife and she was opposed to having kids. Well, I loved her, so I married he knowing that kid's weren't in "the plan". Well there was another plan, and we ended up having one son. He is turning 14 tomorrow. He is a smart and funny kid, and is a boy so is naturally disorganized and a spazz, and forgets to turn in perfectly good and completed homework. I would say that having a kid is one of the coolest things ever. Every stage of their lives is just great. If you know the love and the bonds of family, then you understand a little bit about what it is about. It's not really a thing with specific pros and cons. Benefits you line up and evaluate. It's a family thing, and it is the most special thing in existence on Earth IMO. That's not a logical conclusion. It's an experiential truth in my life, and in many people's lives. If you're weighing your future options and deciding between your own comfort and pleasure, and having a kid, then maybe don't have a kid. I think that is an unfortunate thing and a potentially less fulfilling life, but you don't want to have a kid and be resentful of the poor thing. It would know, and would probably be unhappy.
 
I hate children. I fucking hate fucking children. Every time I see a little boy or girl I want to shoot it through the fucking neck and watch it bleed to death. Children are the most selfish, annoying fucking creatures on the planet.
 
My father told me he shared my same opinion of children when he was my age. Then he met my mother and things changed. Ah, the corruption that is woman!
 
You're saying only because you're not going to go through it...
I hate you, males :(
 
adults are more selfish and greedy.

sure children ask for toys and shit, but if youre a good parent, you have mastered the power of saying no. adults are straight up assholes when it comes to getting what they want. goes waaaay beyond a childish temper tantrum
