Life is good when you dont have any kids

[Zippy]

Fast forward fourty years.
- you're parked in a nursing home in Bournemouth
- you look forward to the Tuesday afternnon bingo and an iced bun
- the kids are circling around every other weekend waiting for you to snuff it

Does that sound good? Blow it all on coke, champers and hookers now!

Because all those other things only affect you. Having kids isn't a choice you make only for yourself.

Creating more people you are responsible for "because I wanted a kid" is not really taking it very seriously.

Having a kid if you don't want a kid is a lot more irresponsible.

All kids are conceived either because someone wants a kid, or because someone was careless/drunk/unlucky.

He means some people have kids because "that's what you do", not because they want them, in the same way that some people go to university when they finish school because "that's what you do"

Exactly

I had kids because I wanted kids.

I'm not sure I understand your 'just what you do' comment?

Most men I know had kids because they wanted sex, and happy accidents happen you know. Its strange how after one or two happy accidents they seem to want to have the snip to prevent any more happiness.

Our first was conceived as we were careless, carefree even. We then had 7 glorious months planning for her arrival and every day since has been wonderful. We lost a kid in 2004/5 and were devastated, especially as my wife nearly died too. We've had 2 since, and I'd have a houseful.

My brother once said he'd kill a paedo if he touched his kids. I said it wasn't a rational thought, and maybe he's just saying it. He told me quite openly, I had no idea, that I couldn't objectively comment, until I had kids. I used to think that was a kop out. But no, your complete political and social spectrum gets adjusted once you have kids.

I hate saying it, but you can't really say that not having kids makes your life so much better than having them, as you don't, and could never, know.

This is general. I will be as childish as I like until banned. Either ignore me or stop making dumbass posts that are irresistible to an immature joker like myself.

You have the right to be a jackass. I have the right to tell you not to

That's because it's obvious your milieu is obviouly chavtastic and lower-class. Posh people do more planning.
HTH.
