Children are Pointless

I don't have children, therefore I don't pay child support.

I wasn't spoiled as a child.

I absolutely love my parents.

The house my woman and I pay a mortgage for doesn't have a basement.

The house we are buying has lots of guitars, video games, weed, and 2 very nice cars less than 5 years old in the driveway.

My life is awesome. My idiot friends who have kids can't say the same things about their lives.

You'd probably get along with them really well. You guys think alike.

You are wrong. Sorry if I called out your life without even knowing you, and that you took it that personally. Interesting how that works, huh?

 

Chances are---you are going to have a child. Or I should say---your woman will probably get pregnant (unless there is something wrong with her fertility or yours). What are you going to do then...providing she decides to keep the baby?

 

It has got to suck to be you in that hellish, castrated, misery filled Debt Slavery existence

you speak of. I have been married since 1978 and my wife is still a Little Hottie, she works out

every day. We have both always had good full time jobs that paid well, we haven't owed on anything since

1999. My wife makes home cooked meals every day. Our daughter is 21 and she is in the 99 percentile,

some of the happiest memories of my life are from when she was just a little thing, I wouldn't take a bazillion

dollars for our life. Life is what you make of it, kids turn out like raise them. It sounds like you have made

a mess of it all.

 

Some people don't measure the value of their life by the cars or guitars they own.

 

Being almost 26 and with no kids...

I think its (*)(*)(*)(*)ing awesome. Part of me deep inside enjoys seeing people complain about bills and not having time because they decided to have kids at 19 or 20, and when I do see people who say their life is awesome, I know they're lying. As far as money goes, I am pretty well off, but I couldnt imagine having to pay (on average) $18,000 per year more just so I can complain about my life.

 

On a side note, Im glad the parents in this thread enjoy it (or say that they do) but the memories and experiences shared here... just sound awful.

I just dont think Im a kid person. My girlfriend wants kids at some point (dont all girls?) but I told her at the very earliest it'd be well into my 30s. Looking for more financial security and kinda hoping that by then I wont cringe at the idea of having a loud obnoxious pooping machine running around destroying (*)(*)(*)(*) while Im trying to watch sports with the female friend (who is a bigger sports fan than I).

Dont know if it will ever happen, but who knows.

 

OK, you sit around thinking about dark dumb (*)(*)(*)(*) and post it on forums. Got it.

 

We've already dealt with that problem.

Neither of us want a child.

 

Pooping out useless feeders that suck the life out of you are MUCH more valuable and a much more productive use of one's time, I guess.

 

That was an interesting contribution to this thread. Much appreciated.

The thing is, most people have their OWN kid for one main, stupid reason.

They do it because they want a "mini-me".

I find that horribly egotistical and pompous.

 

I've found that it's easy to have fun AND to have kids. Since when did it become either/or? Ah, I see, it is either/or in your tiny little world. But it is nice to know you won't be procreating.

 

I couldn't imagine going through life as miserable as this guy.

 

Gauging from your OP, it's a good thing you didn't. I commend you for recognizing that you don't have what it takes to raise a child. Too many who think like you have little 'accidents' that they resent. We don't need that kind of people having children. I hope you and your significant other have self sterilized.

 

I enjoyed my Kids, still do. Went to all my sons Ball games, my daughters school events, the Beach, Picnics, all of it. Now they are older and I play Golf with my son almost every weekend, and my Daughter still enjoys going to the Movies with us, and cooking with her Mother. They added a quality to my life you cant put a price on...

Of course much of this depends on the time you have spent with them when they were younger. Banks are the same way, no deposit, no return...

 

I'm so glad I'm not this^ miserable guy.

 

The size of ones world is definitely reduced, once that baby anchors you steadfastly in place.

 

There's a witty retort.

 

No, the riches in your life increase dramatically. But then my kids were and still are a blast to be around. Your parents probably couldn't say the same.

 

I agree, but at least those people thought about it (it's all about THEM) as opposed to the dopes who have kids because they think they're supposed to.

 

Yes the OP should be commended for at least THINKING about what it's like to have kids as opposed to the DOPES who just pump them out without a thought to whether they will like being a parent or be a good parent or whether they can provide their kids with a decent life....

 

I find just the opposite true. My children have greatly expanded my world and now I have grand children that expand it even further. Unless one has children, one cannot realize the way one's world can expand to include vistas, ideas, etc. never even considered. I will agree with you that it takes work to raise children and it is not always fun and, for those (such as yourself) who don't want that kind of existence, an 'accident' could be tragic for both you and the child.

 

Don't let 'em get you down.......you will never overcome the idea that some people have that people were put on earth to breed and it's all fun and goodness and light and if it isn't it's wonderful anyway and if you don't there's something wrong with you.


You have to realize a lot of these posters KNOW what you say is true but they're STUCK with KIDS so they have to put YOU down because YOU escaped their lifelong fate...


There is ALWAYS an element of JEALOUSY that you did escape...they can't.......

 

Those are generally the 'parents' supported by the liberal left.

 

""Unless one has children, one cannot realize the way one's world can expand to include vistas, ideas, etc. never even considered""

Poppycock! That may have been true for YOU but that doesn't mean child free people spend their lives in a dark cave....SOME adults can think for themselves....
