Who else here doesn't have children?

Doesn't your wife teach?

Yep, wee tots.

[Ketchup]

I would take on someone elses kids.

The girl i am seeing has 2 kids, they are great kids, but their dad is a waster. If he wasn;t around i would probablymarry her and adopt the kids, but as he is around and they go there every other weekend i couldnt do that.

Why not?

Why not?

1) Because I would not feel like part of the family and would not know what my role was with regards to discipline etc.

2) I would like to have my own kids, and i think it would be a strange dynamic to have 2 out of the 3 disappearing to their dads every weekend and 1 staying behind.

3) If i did have a child with her, while her 2 were still seeing their dad, i would always favour my own one.

4) They have to live close to their dad in central london, and i would like to be further out in the country

Sounds like the future is rosy!

I agree with your first point.. must admit I haven't met many people in your second point but there is another set I cannot stand. Those that need to analyse why I don't have kids.. in great detail. They can't understand why I haven't so try and make up excuses for me while asking loads of questions. Very uncomfortable and annoying. I just haven't would enough of an answer for most, but not this set..'Do you not want them 'do you regret it' blah blah..

I had a female colleague a bit like that. She genuinely couldn't understand why I hadn't got at least married, though with her I simply took it as a compliment that I was a decent and likeable bloke.

The answer is a simple matter of never meeting the right bird at the right time. I also fancied foreign birds more than British ones, and that brought cultural differences which didn't always work out. That was particularly noticeable with a Brazilian bird. She was incredibly cheapskate on the food side of things, probably out of historical necessity, but every time she came to stay I would find my cupboards full of crap that I would bin as soon as she went home. Have you ever seen a grey mince dish? (soon resolved with some canned tomatoes and tomato purée, but you get the idea.)

Or putting it another way, the birds I really fancied weren't available and I am not a marriage wrecker.

Work has got in the way too much and living out of a suitcase didn't help when I was younger.

She wanted to sleep with you, by the sounds of it.

That was my conclusion at the time. She had undoubtedly been quite a looker in her day. Nice figure but too many wrinkles.

I don't like this getting old bit

How old are you sysman? I don't like it, either.

PS. I read that as 'hooker'.
