Everytime I am invited over to have dinner at my parents house they keep telling me that once I grauduate(which is less than in 2 years now )they would love to see me married and with kids, and I tell them WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT ? And they give me this look "WTH?", I know it sounds wierd but with all honesty I can't find
this joy people get out of having babies and being stuck with another person for the rest of their lives. Things can turn out to be good and that person might become your soul mate, well that's all good, but what if things go bad, and that person becomes your enemy like most of the relationships I see aroud me. Wow children can bring joy to you, but that's not all of the cases that I have seen

I have explained it to my parents over and over, I have no girl in mind I never did and I hope I never will, I am waiting for graduation and then I'll shift things aaround from pushing my self hard to focusing on making myself happy and get all of what i deprived myself from before(I have 18 credit hours each semester and I have hard job but good paying though ) I might also go for a masters degree too. But really I love being alone knowing that I have myself is just more than entertainment for me (yes I love myself that much but I am not selfish ,I do help alot of ppl out too @ college and my neighberhood...family etc)

What's wrong with my logic ? I just want to live, and be alone and my parents don't understand that, I have lots of friends and I am really a normal guy, but it's just as I was growing up I lived for a long period of time on my own and I loved it and loved being responsible for myself.
I would appreciate input from you married guys out there and fathers too, according to what you have read so far and from your own experience why should I get married ?

Winnar. Try having sex with the same woman for more than a year and see what you don't start thinking about

it's all about having compassion and knowing that you will always have someone who loves you and you love no matter what. on those days where life couldn't seem any worse, you remember that you have someone to come home to and just know that you two share that love and kids make life more entertaining.

Good try, but if they put me in a nursing home then I don't think I would want to see their face ;)

I don't believe in pre-marital sex, next.

But you don't believe in marriage; ergo, you don't believe in sex.

ime, i cant imagine not having a wife and kids. they teach you so much about the world and yourself that you just cant learn by being alone.

besides, when the children get a little older, they can take out the trash, do the dishes, mow the lawn, wash the car, etc. etc.

No I didn't say that, if I reached one point where I found the perfect girl and saw that there is no way we can not get a long and be happy then why not we will settle down and get married.

In order to understand why people have kids, one must look at what couples do who don't have kids. I know a couple who don't have kids because the wife can't get pregnant, and they decided not to adopt. In order to 'make up' for this they got several dogs, and have quite a few expensive toys.

People desire interaction and love/affection. Kids fit the bill when it comes to that for obvious reasons. And kids give the most bang for the buck vs. expensive toys. You can't get any better than a concious/thinking human being for fun times.

If you would rather have pets/expensive toys then so be it and have fun. But most people choose kids over that stuff for the reasons above.
