I love kids..its amazing how their minds and imaginations work like little sponges...

Its too bad that we as adults have let our own imaginations be stifled by the pains of "growing up"

Sorry but I do not have enough patience for kids. I do not know how people do it especially when they have several kids (like 4 or more). They must have nerves of steele.

I am not planning on having kids anytime soon but definetly will have a couple. I have an uncle who doesn't have any kids, is married, (probably a good think since hes also a cokehead) but hes getting a bit older now and just seems kinda depressing to be old w/ just your wifey and no kids. Dont get me wrong me neices bug the shit out of me sometimes - but there are times when Im like WOW, howd you remember that or think of that, they are refreshing.

Kids are always fun if you are around them a couple hours a day, but when you spend crazy money on them, and change their diapers all the time, I'm sure you could get sick of them pretty quick.

I like your attitude Dlady27. My nephews are cool but no way do I want any of my own. Guess I'm selfish too. I like it when people say "Oh, but who's going to look after YOU when YOU get old? Talk about selfish! Besides that, I shouldn't have any kids cuz the worlds got enough twisted fucked up people without me adding to the list.

There's just nothing like looking into the eyes of a child that is your own. As each year goes by I get to enjoy watching my two boys get bigger and brighter.

Sure there are tough times but like anything worthwhile, it takes patience, effort and love.

Wood_Rooster ya say it right. I have two kids and would never go back, I love them and having them to death. For those who think you would never like to have kids, try holding YOUR baby for the first time, watching them sleep, play soccer, or 1 of a 1,000,000 other joys we get every day and say you would never want kids. You are all soft and would melt at the chance. They add so much to you life, you never knew you needed adding to, but take them away and you know where the emptiness is. Mushy, ya ya ya, but you asked.
On a side note, just over a year ago, my son who was 5, said "Dad, your getting fat", and he was right. I had gone from a 30 waist to a 32, and was starting to bust out of those. Started light workouts, joined a club 3 months later and my first attempt back at the bench was the bar + 10lbs per side (a whole 65). Well today i benched 225x3 for the first time, and am bigger and stonger (growing everyday) than I have ever been & I'm 39 years old.
Moral is that without kids, I would most likely be well on my way to Blimpville, instead I can look in the mirror and say WOW.
Do I like kids, you bet.

I like kids...when they are my own!

Note to kid owners: Stop pushing your kids on other people. No one, I repeat, NO ONE finds your kids as adorable as you do. No, it isn't cute how he takes everything off the shelf and throws it on the floor. NO, it isn't cute how he and his sister run all around the store and restaurant singing and yelling. Keep your shit in check cause no one else wants to deal with your kids. Have some common courtesy to others who are trying to go about their business without your children taking up all the space, time, effort, etc...

Kids are are nuisance. I'll take my freedom over kids anytime. Some here are so in luuuuuuv with there little baby, Awwwww. Well guess what, most of them will grow up to be teenagers and learn to hate you! When they become adults they will come see you only because they feel obligated for all the years of wiping their ass. Don't feed me this bull about how great kids are!

Under my skin is nothing but 100% grade A beef, baby. Just kidding :-)

It just never ceases to amaze me how parents seem to not care about how their kids are breaking shit, touching shit, pulling shit, dirtying shit up, and fucking with other people's shit and they don't care or do anything about it. You see this all the time at the malls, restaurants, grocery stores. I walked into a restaurant and almost stepped right on a 2 year olds head who was fucking crawling right in the middle of the hallway!...I have almost run over 100's of kids whose parents are nowhere in sight. Keep your possesions under control is all I am saying.

Mighty dog, You said it! and I have thought that way since I was 13 years old and told about the birds and the bees. Too many things changing in this world today, not so much good either. Why bring a child into this place we call "life and our world"
When 1/2 of the people have no idea where they will be 10 years from now. If there were a massive world war would i want to worry about where my child is? Hell no!
Not to mention, having their teachers call you cause they were bad, or the neighbor cause they hit their kid. for as much joy they bring now in the early years they bring just as much pain in the later years!
Who cares about "who will take care of me when I am old"! Plus, i never want a fat stomach cause of baby living in it for 9 damn months. it is all just gross to me!

Right on Big Papa! See, some make the feeble attempts to raise kids right just to have them sent to the god forsaken public school system just to get mixed up with the little shits that were raised in a barn. You can't win you people with kids!

Kids can be fucking annoying, but then there are a lot of people out there with well-behaved children. I remember helping out my aunt with my little cousin (he's 13 now); he was a real cute baby, and he's still a nice kid. Children who misbehave, break everything in sight, and just wreak havoc IMITATE their parents. The kids are not the problem, it's the parents. Too many people don't give a fuck about their kids, they treat them as if they're some sort of a burdensome commodity. Well guess what, children are much more intuitive than adults. They can feel that kind of shit and they will react. So, whenever I see a kid throwing a tantrum somewhere in the mall, I don't think he or she is a spoiled brat, I think ill of their parents. Almost all kids are good at heart and capable of behaving like little angels, it's the fucking parents who fuck them up. You know the attitude, "children are so difficult to raise", well then don't have them! For those of you who think all kids are lame, it's a good thing that you don't have them. Children are just exact copies of their parents. Will I have kids? Yes, because if people with similar attitude to mine won't have children, this country will be run by complete morons with severe emotional problems in about 30 to 40 years. (It's already pretty bad)

Peace

Believe me, neither of my kids would ever get away with throwing shit or talking back!

The problem these days is with parents who never cease to amaze me with their lack of responsibility or sacrifice when it comes to raising kids. For some reason, it is politically incorrect to spank your kids after they have broken a window, punched another kid for no reason, or stolen something. The parents seem more concerned with themselves. It's me, me, me,me and more me. Fuck the kids, I going to the CC for dinner with the Andersons.

Does not work that way folks. I respect everyones opinion. If you dont want to have kids, thats your choice.If you do though,remember:

They are an expensive investment that requires the patience of Job, the intelligence of Socrates, and the disclipine of Chesty Puller.

I love kids...in my eyes I don't see how you can't. I'm a pre-school teacher and i swear everyday they do something or say something that makes my day...and job worthwhile. Whether it's understanding a lesson , (which makes me feel great) or walking up to me and giving me a hug for no reason or a picture they drew for me, (which makes me feel even better).

I feel being a teacher is great experience for when I decide to have kids...I definitely see some bad parents and some great parents and I learn from them what to do, and what not to do when my time comes to be a parent.

My parents never took shit from me and i appreciate the fact that they didn't now b/c that taught me not to take shit from anyone. I think kids are cool, but I'm afraid I'd break them if I did something wrong. but they're pretty resilient people. Anyways point being some kids are cool but others piss me off b/c they get. Especially the ones that are spoiled by their parents...damn my younger step sister..damn her to hell. Prime example of why I'm pissed.

My step sis missed 18 days of school and fucked up my fam's chances at goin away for vacation durin the school year b/c she couldnt miss any more days. Well what do u know the bitch gets to miss 5 more days to go to the shore with her dad. Totalling 23 days missed, and fucked up my Vay K.

So now I'm the middle child since my dad and step mom moved in w/ each other. Which sux cause ya have to act lie an adult an get treated like a child. Any other middle children here, that feel what I'm saying?

Kids are great, most of the time. I have 2 boys. There are times when they get on your nerves, but when you take a couple seconds to think about what your getting mad about you usually end up laughing. Well I do anyway.

I have to agree with BigPappa though, parents should keep a grip on their kids. Teach them some manners and not let them run wild. Nobody finds it amussing or cute.
