[QUOTE=yawmwen;31704995]if it gets him to not hit children it doesnt matter why he does it really. he could think the kid will sprout demon horns and worship the devil and thats quite alright if it means he doesnt beat his child.[/QUOTE]
If it stops him from beating his child, I don't care what his reasoning is.
well facepunch as a whole won't have to worry because they'll never have sex anyway

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;31703399]It's not always a bad thing to have a kid. I am again, however, mystified, that someone could have a kid as a teenager and [i]have another[/i][/QUOTE]
Quite worse really. She still believes this idea that she is 15 and can go out any night of the week and get wasted. Shes 24 with 2 kids, she isn't going anywhere. She constantly hounds my mom to babysit on an almost daily basis so she can go and smoke pot with her friends. She believes "She needs a break", and "It's not my fault I got pregnant". The blatant stupidity drives me nuts. The worst part of it all is that she only got pregnant the first time because (this will cause rage) "I was too lazy to drive to the drug store for my birth control", and the second time "I was drunk"
There is no break from being a father/mother. Once you have a kid, you are stuck with them for LIFE. Having a night out once in a while should be had, but to whine and complain you can't get high because you have no one to watch your kids is terrible. When I lived at home, she would even ask me to babysit her two kids. I have told her time after time "I refuse to watch your children on the grounds that A. I'm not canceling my evening so you can get smashed, B. I hate kids, C. You just had a "break" yesterday". Don't get me wrong, I love my nephews, but goddamn this women expects the world to stop because of her mistakes.
If you are really not fond of taking care of children 24/7 for at least 18 years, wear a condom OR go see your doctor and get some birth control.
Sorry to go off on a personal tangent, just thought it might be good discussion.
ITT people who don't have kids think they know how to raise kids.
I don't want kids, I'd be a terrible dad because I'm a fucking idiot.
This article seriously makes me angry. Why the fuck are they talking about kids as if they are an "investment"? Are we all so fucked up that we can only think in terms of money anymore? And more importantly, this article talks as if having kids is some sort of thing that only a minority of people should do. In case you didnt realise, if no one has kids, the whole species dies out. I mean, having kids in your teens or early twenties is almost always a bad idea, but the tone of this article makes me hope that other people dont think like this.

Hah, someone beat me to it. Not everything has to be rational, having children is usually an emotional descision, and if you want to think of it in terms of investment, then it's a biological one - to whit, you are obeying what all life ultimately seeks to do and that is to preserve and improve it's own genes, because you won't be around forever to carry them forward.
Me, personally? I'm looking forward to having kids in the not too distant future, I had a good childhood (If a little poor monetarily, but that DIDN'T MATTER because I, my siblings and my parents were happy), have a great relationship with my parents and extended family, and can't wait to bring my own progeny into this world, especially as I'm in a long-term relationship with someone who feels essentially the same.
Well, around 100% of kids under the age of 12 make me not want to have children of my own. Some of these kids are from strict families, but they can't do shit to control them, talking to them is impossible.
Well at least I can bring this up for my reasoning for not wanting a child.
[QUOTE=doomevil;31704892]My older brother ended up having a daughter. He was so stupid because he didn't even have enough
money to support himself and his wife and he is now living with his friend's house. And he wasn't even ready to have a child, that's pretty sad.[/QUOTE]
My alcoholic, chain smoking brother-in-law and his foul/loud mouthed, materialistic, immature girlfriend just had a kid. They barely spent time together as a couple before getting pregnant and they're both unemployed. I don't know where this idea that having a child is a good idea because they're wonderful bundles of sunbeam and gumdrop miracles sent from the lord above but oh well, it's too late for that kid now.
In other shocking news the sun came up this morning and grass is green.
I'm gonna wait 'till I'm thirty with having kids, but there's no way I'm not gonna have some.
I don't wanna become a lonely old fart who has no one in the world anymore, not even children. I mean, sure, kids are stressful, ungrateful and cost a lot, but they're the closest loved ones you'll ever get. As well as literally part of you.

probably written by a bunch of yuppie douches who would rather buy another BMW.
Worst i'd give my kid would probably be a clip around the ear or whatever necessary.
Now y'all gonna be all "omg omg child abuser if i saw u do that to YOUR child id fuk u up yeh u shud di u shud get castrated"
I have 3 months before mine comes anyways :smug:

If you have no children, your genetics will go with you to the grave. There will be no part of you in the future of the human race and you will have no descendants.
I don't know about you, but I want descendants.
everyone is saying these things now but that's probably because they've never been in love
I sure as hell don't want kids, but then again I'm not even 18 yet and I should probably work on getting a girlfriend first.
Half of you are making assumptions about an emotion you've never even experienced before, think a little more, you're not going to feel the same way in 20 years
You forget all that you were self kids

Completely meaningless if you're dead, it would be far better to save up so you can afford future immortality treatment.

Actually that doesn't mean dick. If you want to leave something behind when you die, you gotta leave it inside someone else's [b]soul[/b].
Be it your kids, or some friend, hell you could even adopt a kid and that would be something you can be proud of.

It's just as much of a baseless assumption to assume that I won't feel this way in 20 years.
