Same here. I honestly don't think I could handle having a child right now, and since the biological clock is all a-tickin', I will have to have vicarious kids through my friends.

I love buying the toys and stuff, though.

I think the teeny just popped out babies are pretty rubbish - they just look ugly and cry a lot and everyone who goes anywhere near them starts acting oddly.
Once they start being able to do stuff then they can be class so i will vote Not Crap.

I better keep thinking that too as wor lass is really starting to get broody. Fortunately, my earlier baby and children hating days are over and I am now of the opinion that in order to fully experience what it is to be human one has to try out this parenthood thing.

I am still, however, scared witless by the idea.

I never wanted to be a father. I did not take any pleasure in the company of children.

Then, when I began my late 30s, I started imagining things down the road. My life as it was, was fine, we had some money coming in better than it had before, and if that continued, I could see us becoming real comfortable. My wife always wanted a baby, but had some fear and doubt about how good we would be at it. We were running out of time if we were going to do it that way, and so I sort of decided for us.

It was a fine decision. My daughter has stolen a lot of my cynicism away from me, and given me new and useful forms of fear and hope for the future. Population concerns are legitimate. Bitching about your own total and constant comfort in a restaurant even makes sense to me, but any argument against babies is going to have a pretty good chunk of hypocrisy in it, since you were all babies yourselves. The future is going to need good and capable people, and without babies now, getting old is not going to be a viable option for the majority. I cannot think of a situation where you could encounter a baby, and properly blame the baby over the caregiver for your displeasure.

I am sorry but I just do not understand feeling so sure the world needed another YOU in it that you set out to make one no matter what a crock of shithole world this has become and what a bunch of bullshit it will be to live in by the time that little you is grown and able to try and support itself.
It's the ultimate in selfishness and ego out of control. That little you did not ask to be born, and this life thing you are forcing upon it sucks consistent cocks for almost everyone always. It's fucking hard and it's a fucking struggle every step of the way.
Some 'gift' this 'gift of life' you bestow upon your screechy little fucking demon seed.
But you wanted a little you to look up at you and think you are god.
Fuck that shit.
If it were up to me we'd all stop having babies and the human race would fade away after this generation.
Good riddance.
The animals could have the earth and not have to worry about people fucking everything up for them with their bullshit.
So yeah, fuck that shit.

I look around at my room; the dusty records and books. It means nothing. But hundreds of generations have fought tooth and nail to get me here so I can look around at my records and books.

Have children.

You talking to me, or to parents in general? Cause those get different answers.

I know your game, and even think it is funny sometimes, but I am never going to take your filthy bait.

Why? Marsupialized - you exist because hundreds upon hundreds of people have managed to not only avoid the stupid-but-incrdibly-popular ways of dying. We are here, you and I, because our forebearers could take the shit and keep on trucking. Here we are, man. Let's keep it going. Breed, man! I want my kid to pull your kid up for some stupid arab fat chick shit, have a fight and have a beer afterwards. Come on man - you have nothing to lose.

I just reread that and it is sounds a s stupid as I thought. Still - whehey! Fuxk it.

parents in general, it was a general statement I was making to the wind.

At least we agree on cocorosie ruling 4 evar.

You and I exist because safe, reliable birth control was not available to our ancestors and they most likely needed shitloads of kids to work on the farm or tend to the fields. Cheap labor. Slave labor even.
It is available to me, and I don't need any cheap labor.
Fuck that shit.
