WOW!!!
This is the last place i thought i'd hear people talking about this, let alone people supporting it. I've NEVER wanted to have kids and don't see any need to at least have MY OWN kids. Theres so much commitment, money and time spent worrying about children not to mention that you can easily mess up the children's lives and that you have to deal with the other parent for at least 18 in one form or another whether you eagerly want to or not. I want to retire early as well as travel, have my toys and have good furniture, i also don't want to have to worry about what they're watching on TV, their grades, blah, blah, blah, on and on. I'm planning on getting a vasectomy based loosely on the above, with many, many other reasons (plus i can't be around kids for more than 5 minutes before going crazy), plus there is adoption for kids who NEED parents if i ever decide to become a parent for whatever reason.
Ronny50, i can see your point, but i don't want to have a "sudden" child only to realize i have to put alot of stuff off for 20 years (at least) as well as if i'm miserable. Another point is i've never heard of anyone saying they'd trade their kid for a mustang (or anything for that matter) after they've had one mostly because people would think of them as a "bad person" is they said that. I'm just not ready to have kids and don't see wanting them or being prepared in the next 10-15 years. My parents were poor and miserable because i was an "oops" baby. We were poor and broke and my childhood blew until they started making more money, had less stress, and as a result they could pay the bills and occasionally have fun. I never want to sudject a child to that......wow, sorry, just had to vent
