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.

It's funny you say that, I could have said almost the exact same thing for myself. I was about 34 when my wife got pregnant and it was the first time in my life there had been any sort of pregnancy related issue, ever. No missed period scares with past girls, none of it. So don't go taking it for granted now, your luck could change!

You guys know you have to ejaculate in her vagina right? It's not like the movies.

Yeah, seriously. Don't you know that children come out of there? What's your problem?

Due around the start of July, I'm scared, anxious, proud, happy, worried, glad, could go on but can't be arsed, but most of all looking forward to the day I finally meet him/her.

As for the sacrifices I may have to make so what, I plan to deal with what ever's thrown at me (including runny yellow poo)

I still don't get the having kids is selfish position. You're not creating a clone to live a second life through. You're creating an individual that is going to need everything from you. As everyone has gone over, it's hard work, and scary. I am thrilled when cool people have kids (cool = honest, friendly, and smart) . Those kids have a much better chance to be cool when they grow up. The results aren't certain, but they're far from random. Besides, we have to beat China at their own game.
I might have a family sometime. It will be a real test on whether this profession is possible. Maybe I'll start "teaching" then.

The more popular sentiment is not having kids is selfish.

I have hated dealing with children since I was a child. I can't stand them, though I will admit to tolerating or liking a scant few of them in the past. However, I would never, EVER want to trade places with their parents. They can hang out with me for a few hours, I'll teach them to draw or we'll go for a hike in the woods or I'll play piano with them, but it doesn't makes me want one 24-7.

All of my life, people have said I'd change my mind about wanting kids. I can still say with absolute unwavering firmness that I do not wish to have kids. I've been involved with men who have told me that they potentially want families, have considered that maybe it was a concession that I could in time make, and then quickly realized I was being silly and it was something that I'm just not capable of. I have no maternal instinct, no interest in becoming a mother, and am 100% certain of the swift fate that will be met by any zygote that dares to cleave within me.

All that aside, I also have concerns about overpopulation and don't wish to contribute to the continuity of the human race.

Couples who would otherwise be sterile and seek fertility treatments or artificial insemination piss me off, especially since I've found so many of them to also believe that abortion is wrong because it goes against "God's will." Yeah, and the doctor manufacturing your offspring in a laboratory is totally what God had in mind when He made your uterus barren and your husband's sperm retarded. Go adopt some of the unwanted babies you didn't want aborted, you selfish hypocritical assholes.

I plan to live out the rest of my days with cats, dogs, and various other flora and fauna...perhaps also a long-term partner if he or she and I can tolerate one another for that long.

I already do have a family, and I am saddened that so many of you were apparently raised by wolves.

As for whether I plan on having KIDS? Hahahahahaha. No.

We are able to reject/ ignore most people who make such unsolicited comments about our informed choice to opt out of having children--however, to stop "working with" such people is not an option, and ironically that is where most of the comments are heard (of course, not every day, and not from every person). My wife and I both have straight jobs (that we are not about to quit) where the majority of the hundreds of people at both places are family-oriented or want to be.

I know greg probably means this as economic competition, but it reminds me that for many at my city job* (which is overrun by conservative racist Catholics), having a family and making more white babies is one's duty to God and Country, and those who don't go along are heathen "nigger"-loving traitors to their race. This is not an exaggeration.

*NOT the police dept., although I'm sure the same attitude exists there.

Dude, I'm not stupid....children come out of the butt. Everyone knows that.
