I dont have any chil'ren and never wanted any babbies. I did help raise my nephews and niece back in the mid 90s though. The stress of four chilren gave me stomach cramps. :oops:

Nevertheless, I wonder if I missed out on a chance to have a babby while I was still 'young'. Sure a man's seed is good until forever, but unless you are Donald Trump, dont expect many women of child bearing age to take you up when you are in your 60s,70s,etc.

Oh well. :|

I guess you never heard of Charlie Chaplin.
Or Hugh Hefner.

Granted none of us is them. But the point is the same. You got money, you got girls, at any age. In fact we just had this issue in the L&R forums. You will not lose many women chasing money, but you will lose a lot of money chasing women.

As for the issue at hand:
I dont feel bad. Too many guys I know wanted to start a family young (or it happened accidentally) but now they are all messed up. They couldnt deal with shit and they either drink or fool around. And they dont appreciate their kids. I wonder what they'll be like when they grow up.

I'd rather be settled with a good job and decent house before I even think about a family. I'd want enough money that I could start saving for college before they're even born.

I'm EXTREMELY happy that I don't have any kids and will never have any. I don't understand why anyone WOULD want kids. But let's be honest, most people don't plan to have kids. They just fuck up and are stuck with them and then pretend that is what they wanted.

But hey, to each their own. I like extra money and cool toys, others like to add extra stress to their life by having kids and then complaining about them. Whatever floats your boat, but don't come to me whining about your life. You made your bed...


Now if you are depressed because you DON'T have a kid, adopt one. Plenty of kids that need good homes.
