I don't think most people ever regret having children in the long run but they definitely do regret not having them. I think it's something I have to do.

I bet some people regret having children. Society just doesn't let them say that.

But I get the regret about not having children. Most of my peers now have launched their children and now are starting to have grandchildren, and it seems like that might be a nice situation if none of them are deadbeats. I can see maybe when I'm 80 that I might think, "It would be nice to have Thanksgiving with my hypothetical attractive and non-incarcerated children and grandchildren."

Sure, most selfish people shouldn't have kids.

Not once did I hear a car horn, a couple yelling, my downstairs neighbor's dog barking, or a gun shot. Not once did a homeless guy approach me and ask for money because he lives in Liberty and his friend dropped him off and he needs bus fare to get home, but really just needs to score a pint of Wild Turkey or a spot of crack. Not once did someone puke on my sidewalk. My car was not stolen, vandalized or broken into, all of which have happened multiple times in my current apartment.

I'm gonna love this shit. **** you guys.

Easy man, I was only gonna ask you for $10

LMAO You know, I'm sure this is absolutely true, particularly if your child turns out to be a deadbeat.

I'm at the age now where a lot of females I know had children young and are now single mothers in their mid-20s. None will say they regret having children but that they wish they'd have waited or found the right man first. That's just a socially acceptable way of saying they wish they didn't have a kid at the moment, but in 20 years they might be empty nesters and then, I'm sure, they won't regret it so much.

I'm proud of my self-awareness in that area.

It really is a shame that kids are so expensive and the best time, biologically, to have them is while you're young but finances at that time generally don't permit it.

Meh, we were broke as **** when we had our son. Didn't matter though because we were tied down with him and couldn't do shit anyway. Now he's 21 and pretty much out of our hair and we have both the disposable income and time to do whatever we want and I couldn't be any happier.

In my experience, shit tends to work itself out. And I've known tons of people far less capable than I am to do just fine.

nah

God has a way of helping us cope with it....the 1st month or two of diapers is completely harmless and doesnt even smell..its like play dough or a little tar..and youi end up changing a million diapers so it becomes like you can do it blindfold...

Then it gets kind of mustardy and just a little stinky, but its a bit easier to clean than the sticky play dough tar..

By the time they are taking real meat/potatoes/stinkbomb shits, youve become numb to changing diapers and it just seems normal...but you are only changing a few a day so it seems actually better than changing a gazillion.

Chick Fil A Drive Throughs are absolute hell on earth during anytime any normal person would eat. Especially when those damn soccer moms cut right into lane 2 instead of getting in the 1st line.

Now I do all the same stuff I did before, but I have taught my kids how to do it with me. Hell, I hunt and fish more than I ever did, and now my son goes to the gym with me. Your life starts AFTER kids, not before. Takes a man to make a man, as they say, until then.......

ROFL

I am sorry my posts in this thread read so serious to some of you.

But kids aren't for everyone and I wish more people would think about all the things that come with having a child. Sadly, many are accidents and many children as seen as burdens to many parents, they just won't tell you.

And for the record, I love kids. I like working with them and interacting with them. Stop bagging on my you asshats. I was thinking this thread was a rather non-serious thread if you actually read the OP.
