Do You Have Kids? Do You Want Kids?

[RKS]

We have 2 boys ( 5 & 7) and I am 41. I wish we would have had them earlier but I still keep myself in good enough to run around with them everyday.

Different strokes for different folks. I have a friend, 26, who has been married for a couple of years, and they just had their first child. They are very happy.

/shrug

My above mentioned friend was with his wife for 3 years before they had their first kid, and they were pretty happy.

They divorced at ~6 years. He had an affair with a married woman and now they're married to each other. The whole situation makes me LOL so hard, but I do feel bad for him. How could either of them think that a relationship that starts that way could ever last?

I am 35, have two girls, and another child on the way due in August. But that's it ... no more will be had by us

Very happy (though would have stuck with 2 if my wife hadn't really desired otherwise) ... wouldn't trade them for the world.

No kids. Vasectomy scheduled for later this year.

Almost ended up with a kid though. Wife got pregnant on birth control in Feb. Luckily she miscarried after a few weeks. She doesn't believe in abortion.

At one time, I would have said that I wouldn't take a million dollars for either of my kids...but I wouldn't give a dime to have another one...Looking back, I should have taken the money.

Luckily she miscarried after a few weeks.

You may get flamed for that line, but I would feel that exact same way. I bet the sense of relief was incredible. Luckily my GF absolutely believes in abortion.

Where is the "I have kids but don't want kids anymore" option?




I keed, I keed.

I dont, and we dont.

Though I can understand your feeling of relief somewhat, that's a pretty horrible thing to say.

You should move up that date lol. a close scare like that would have turned me off sex for a while

For now, no fucking thank you. I'll buy a dog.

Only reason I see to have kids is to try to balance the equation with you wackjobs who do have them.

I can't wait until you have kids, just so you become one of the wackjobs you berate. it will happen, I guarantee it. Kids have a way of doing that to people.

2 girls, 5 and 8, i am 40, wife is 45.

they are the most awesome, time-consuming pains the ass ever.

Yeah it was. I've been on on a roll this year for things "working themselves out."

I was waiting a few months to be sure that's what I wanted to do. August was the next available date when I booked it last week.

We've been together 8 years or so without incident so hopefully we can be accident free for another few months.

Maybe horrible, but lucky nonetheless.

I've told very few people about the incident and everyone has been like "I'm so sorry", etc. My response has been always been "Don't be, I wasn't."

Did she feel it was lucky too?

47 with a 10 year old. I hate other peoples kids.

If not, someone may get lucky down the line.

Happy B day.

Somehow I doubt it. Most women wouldn't consider it lucky regardless of whether the pregnancy was planned or not.

Happy B day.

Thanks

26. No kids. No interest in ever having kids.

Haha nice. I'd go take a picture for you but I would feel too emo doing that

 

[hanoverphist]

i have 3 kids, best thing that ever happened to me. made me grow into a real person instead of the kid i used to be. im really glad i started relatively early as well, my older bro is in his 40s with 7 and 4 yr old boys. hes having difficulties with that. mine are in their teens.

 

[nickbits]

Did she feel it was lucky too?

She was pretty horrified she got pregnant but I wouldn't say she felt lucky she miscarried. The duration between the time she found out she was pregnant to the time she miscarried was very short, so she didn't have much time to process. I suppose I would classify her response as "quiet relief".
