Do you plan on having a family?

Reason number 3 was banal and reason number 4 was mind-numbingly cliche, that's where I stopped.

By the logic in number 4 people should also stop: eating, sleeping, shitting, and fucking because so many other people participate in such activities.

I am undecided about a family I need to get through school and find someone who can actually tolerate me before it even becomes a consideration.

Yes, absolutely worth it, but it is obviously a shitload of work (sometimes handling literally "loads of shit.")

It has made me work on my patience a ton. I am more organized. It has added to the number of people in the world I would take a bullet for.

Why don't you stop hanging around, working with and/or talking with people who are evidently treating you and your wife with such disdain? Sounds like a waste of time.

We don't have kids and have never committed publicly to trying. I've never heard anyone say anything like this to me.

Maybe he will be able to make her pregnant with his sperm and they won't need to adopt!

i keed, i keed.


I know you kid but by all rights I should have gotten some chick pregnant at some point, I have not been especially careful over the years and as far as I know it's never happened.
My wife and I have never used any sort of birth control over the last 6 or so years and she's never gotten pregnant.
I'm thinking I do indeed have a sack of duds, thank god.

My son was born with a serious birth defect, since corrected by surgery but something that will require a lifetime of vigilance.

I can understand how the prospect of children, let alone the added heartache, sacrifice and stress of a child with special needs, can be daunting. However, I can firmly state that my son has changed my life for the good in every way possible. Not even having a career that exposes me to daily death and grief (and which predated fatherhood by several years) did that.

When I was 8 years old I loved to play with my cars in the sandbox. When I was 17 I liked to drive fast and stay out all night. When I was 25 I used my credit cards like someone else was paying the bills.

I don't play in the sandbox anymore, I drive the speed limit, and live on a budget. I'm as close to retirement age now as I am to my high school graduation. I don't miss too many of the luxuries I have given up, and those I do miss don't even come close to tainting the joy my son gives me every day.

I'm undecided naturally, since I am in my early 20s and pretty irresponsible. Not to mention, I have a pretty hard time looking that far ahead into the future as it is.

That said, the only people who I hate for having babies are the ones who do so because the Bible tells them so. I think it's safe to say that the majority of this message board will agree with me on this.
