god i wish i had children
- lolGnash
- lol yup, perfectly sums it p._niko
- Hahahahahahahapango
- I always think of that when I see my tax return. xDsea_sea
- Me and you alike Scarbs...Between the good luck for upvoting the money pigeon and no children, I'm not living like a pigeon.
http://i.imgur.com/e…utopian - I love this notion some have that having kids means you have no disposable income.ETM
- what is your opportunity cost with kids vs without?dorf
- kids are expensive.ApeRobot
- My kids are worth it.Morning_star
- My kids aren't.... wait I don't have kids!
YES!!! LOLpango - how much does a newborn cost in these days?drgs
- On average, US hospital deliveries cost $3,500. Overall, it is aggregative costs & a long term living commitment combined w/ investments for multiple futures.imbecile
- my problem with kids is that they're detestable boring little fuckers with no boundaries. but i don't have money because i choose to work 3 days a week an dkingsteven
- ... spend what i get on drugs, booze and synths. and yet somehow look 10 years younger than any of my school mates. children are BS.kingsteven
- kingsteven "they're detestable boring little fuckers with no boundaries." They need to learn, like you did. Or got bad parents.ApeRobot
- Having one changed my vision of kids and humans in general.ApeRobot
- And the darklord knows how much i was "anti-kids" before having one myself.ApeRobot
- says the person who has kids.
lolpango - kids aren't BS, they are the only path you have for ensuring the survival of your direct bloodline, unless that isn't the kind of thing you're interested inmonospaced
- yeah, let me end the bloodline my parents and ancestors worked so hard to maintain, and all of this for money, lolGeorgesII
- Hey mono, stop writing what I'm writing before I post it :)GeorgesII
- "$4K to start. Subscription rates vary with program involvement. Edu & health plans available. Minimum 18 year contract. Options to extend. Color may vary."imbecile
- ;)monospaced
- hahah, srsly... who the fuck wants to maintain their bloodline? i have honestly never heard anyone say that outside of royalty.kingsteven
- have you considered donating sperm?monospaced
- also georges, not for money. i get to choose my work based on its social impact and not $$$. i have money and haven't felt like if done a days 'work' in years.kingsteven
- i don't walk around yelling BREEDERS btw. I just think kids aren't that great and parents are usually a bit brainwashed by the turmoil of their situation...kingsteven
- ... i know this because i'm the one they call when it goes to shit. i mean, justifying kids via 'bloodlines' if folks used that logic anywhere else they wouldkingsteven
- be called animalistic, selfish principles. but yet the most reasoned logical people are totally doo-lally when it comes to their kids.kingsteven
- You've never heard a man say he wants a son to carry on his name, or a child to carry on his line? I find that hard to believe.monospaced
- I'm certain that experience in this particular arena is absolutely necessary. (FWIW, All kids are shits apart from your own).Morning_star
- and btw, we are animals ... passing on genetics is the strongest driving force behind most human activity ... so it's not something to be ashamed ofmonospaced
- rubbers. never with out it!
LOL "color may very"pango - not at all, it's good parenting that makes good people above all else... bad genes don't make a bad person, the name passing on thing just 'proof of splurt'.kingsteven
- i meant to write 'bad' genes, because it is kinda moot these days. i've seen my (otherwise exemplary) parents run.kingsteven
- I'm not even talking about making good or bad people here. It's about legacy. All life on the planet strives toward procreation and survival of the species.monospaced
- We're not exempt. Also, respectfully, I don't believe you've never heard people say that they want children to pass on their bloodline. It's pretty darn common.monospaced
- As a father having children is far more rewarding than continuing ones own bloodline lol but I get his point. Thing is I wasn't crazy about the idea until itfadein11
- happened. Best experience ever despite the relentless hard work :)fadein11
- And an ongoing experience which gets better I have found so far. Early bit is pretty traumatic haha.fadein11
- kids are fucking awesome, especially if you have cool ones. I'd live in a cardboard box and eat out of a dumpster just to have them. One bighappy hobo family lo_niko
- Hey _niko, you have a Cardboard Box? Man, you're lucky.Morning_star
- Kids can be cool. But some of us have no desire to reproduce or bring another human into this already overpopulated uncertain existence.sea_sea
- I get its a natural step to follow when you are young and coupled up. but it also takes strength to make the choice to stay childless.sea_sea
- sure there are only bad parents. No bad kids.
Let's just say don't ever let me baby sit your kids. Lolpango - good point, sea_sea ... I respect that wholeheartedlymonospaced
- mono, of course i've heard people say it as a sentiment. and fine as an afterthought in a "well done, your dick worked" kinda way. but kinda meaningless unlesskingsteven
- you've got a hereditary title or sthg.kingsteven
- you do have a hereditary title ... your name and your dnamonospaced
- that sentiment isn't coming from a "well done your dick worked" place, it's a real one many people feel very strongly, and why kids are so important to manymonospaced
- it's why grandparents want to live to see grandchildren, and why most parents are particular about who you're with, and so much moremonospaced
- meh. we have 3 boys under the age of 7. expensive, yes. but worth every penny. they give me something that money just can't buy.kona
- I pay ~$20k per year on daycare / preschool, and about ~$10 per month on tissues for tears / snot.Cosmodrome
- My family were upper class snobs, I was the last male to carry on so yeah I heard it a lot...continuous bloodline running all the way down from records...mugwart

- ... They got a wonderful mixed kid and me waving two fingers up at them!mugwart
- Gave him a Japanese name as well.
Any way having kids is the best, hardest thing in your life!
My kid is the fucking greatestmugwart - Lol my parent freaks out every time I bring home a none Asian girl. It's really fun. Lolpango
- I got the "you're going to be alone when you're old" scare from my mom for a while. Seriously that's a shitty way to try to get me to want kids.sea_sea
- Had to be very direct and clear once and for all. No grandkids for my mom, I understand her feelings but in this case have to honor my own self.sea_sea
- sea_sea, I consider you a unicorn. :Dimbecile
- "you're going to be alone when you're old" no you won't, you will have more old fuckers around you than any other generation in human history.sted
- @sea_sea -- tell your mum so will she ;-)mugwart
- Sted I thought you were going to say I was going to be surrounded by all of you here. xD oh and <3 @Imbecile! lolsea_sea
- Mug, I'm an only child, so in my mother's culture, I have the "responsibility" take care of her. To be honest that scares me more than having children.sea_sea
