Why have kids?

I figure since our daughter was born just a couple days ago, I'm qualified to discuss this. And I figured I'd share with ATOT, since a good portion of you guys seem to have the attitude of "ick! Never!" on the 'why' of having kids.

Frankly, there is no reason why. #1 reason you're going to have kids is because you want to get laid, and it's about the only way any of you are going to reliably get any action - "You my babby daddy!" The #2 reason is going to be cause you fucked up due to your lust for liquid courage or whatever. The end result of #2 is gonna be #1.

Myself? Growing up I was the last of 6 kids. I hated other kids growing up. I grew up around adults, and couldn't STAND the way other kids behaved. I resolved never to have kids of my own, and further more to get married. We all see how well that went.

Now specifically, why have X number of kids? Well, either you love children or you're a masochist. I found out I'm a little of both. I love me kids (even though they drive me nuts), but as a whole I still abhor other people's kids.

I hope this helps. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
 
Love my kid.
Dislike others, usually greatly.
If I had never had my kid, wouldn't know that I was missing out on a great gift. It's like life going from black and white to color.

Honest answer:

Kids are awesome. They're a lot of trouble too, but most of the time you get so filled up with love for them that it's worth it. I don't have children of my own, but I have a brother and sister that are so much younger than me that I practically helped raise them. If I can feel even close to the amount of love for my own children as I do my brother and sister then it has to be worth almost any hardship.
 
I would be a terrible Father, so no matter the good stuff, it's not going to happen.

It makes more sense in terms of #2. Hammer a bottle or two, then reread it (not like you'll care at that moment, but that's exactly the point!).

Not for me.

When I get drunk my dick doesnt work.
Which is actually a blessing in disguise. No liquor babies for me!
 
i have no idea. i'm still young and have intention of having kids any time soon. i'll get back to you when i'm 30
 
- why have x number of kids...
cause only one is just fuckin creepy, and more than 2 is exponentially more work
 
Because they give you grandchildren eventually, and grandchildren are one of the great things on earth.

Yeah I think something happens to grandparents that fucks up their brains by that point. My cousins are little shit heads, but grandma loves them anyway. I suspect by the time you are in your 60's you could probably get the same effect with a cat or dog or canary.
 
Kids are over rated. But it sure feels good when they look you in the eye and tell you that they love you. And mean it.

Your kids destroy your brain. One of the coolest things about grandkids is that you can just sit back and watch your kids deal with the same crap you did the generation before. Revenge ha! Nothing against pets, but it's not the same.
