I guess I'm a weirdo. I really like being a dad. My kids are cool as hell.

As a fellow DINK, I recommend upgrading your status to DILDO - double income, large dog owner
sagelobu
period, as in hope you're still having one.
IPoopInTheDark
I take care of my sister two kids for 4 years now I don't want kids for myself later in life. Kids suck the life out of you. My family 1/2
IPoopInTheDark
Thinks I'm joking but I'm not I don't want kids.

Our last one just moved out, it's nice to have my wife back again.
MrPredator
Funniest thing I've laughed at is a mom getting asked, by her kids, if she was a virgin. Priceless.
BugJuiceComesFromWhoYouAre
I'm a nanny & I know everything about babies already without the commitment. I honestly don't want my own kids. Love em. Don't want em.

Kids are worth it, because they will make you appreciate the little things.

Like quiet, and food that is hot, and not having fucking gummy bears in your shoes.

I actually look forward to a house full of kids toys, that shit looks so fun nowdays!
Harvestkitten
I'm getting married and people have been asking me when I'm gonna have kids..."Uh, I'm sticking with just the two cats..."
wittyandcharmingnamenoonehasthoughtofyet
Mean while you have my mom told me she doesn't want me to have kids because of how bad of an experience it was for her.

41 and no kids...but I do have some disposable income, which is nice.

Thanks guys, I just got a positive today for kid #2. Wouldn't trade this for the world. :)
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
I love one of my children and I am so happy we have her. The other one is a flaming bag of shit and is for sale to the lowest bidder.
melveys
Are your kids adults?
pizzaparty
Maybe they are aware of your resentment and that's why they increasingly behave that way.. Negative feedback loop.
miados
I always thought (even as a kid) I would rather adopt instead of have kids. part of it to skip diapers part because it seems sad.
smokerockpunchcops
The selfless way to have kids. I'm with you.

I actually get told it is selfish, but nobody can ever explain how it is so.

My impression of having children so far: "It's terrible, but we love it, but it's awful, but its't the best thing that ever happened to us."
CrowDeMorcerf
That reminds me of the words my father said to me one day.
seanmcthornton
I was cradling my 8 month old at 4:30 this morning trying to get him to sleep, as annoying as it was, I realized it felt great holding him.

Basically what my sisters say everytime I ask them about being parents
Mandoca
Accurate
HisDudness
That's the dichotomy between what the parent wants and what their biological imperative keeps telling them to keep them sane.

I have a 6 month old, and this is so true. I'm so tired, but he's absolutely precious to us; The light of our lives. But yeah, SO TIRED.
mccar7hy
I wish you luck!
Amp21
Ya we had to get used to it as my daughter never 'grew out of' that not needing a lot of sleep thing. She's 6!
reters
Yeah, as a teacher in training, fuck that. I do NOT want my own "children" aka money pits.
octabeck
this seems like an awfully negative attitude for a teacher... if they're "money pits," wouldn't your salary be part of the waste?
reters
Nah I don't want my OWN children. In general they are great because they will be the future leaders of the world.
littlegoatherder
I switched majors because of this.
Oteneo
If that's how you really see children you might be going into the wrong line of work.
reters
Being a teacher is great because I get to give them back at the end of the day. I realise children are the future I just don't want my own.
lily10110
Just because you don't want your own kids doesn't mean you can't enjoy educgatin them.
lily10110
Educating* Cause. I'm not smart.
Oteneo
If you enjoy educating them and see value in nurturing them then they aren't "money pits" Doesn't work that way
lily10110
But raising kids does tend to cost a lot of money. Some of my favorite teachers never had kids due to the costs.
Oteneo
of course they are expensive, that doesn't make them a "money pit" The term money pit means you are just throwing money away.
Mohalkien
I aaked my mom what made her decide that she was ready for kids, she said her birthcontrol decided for her
aSlaveToChaos
It was my mother's lack thereof, lol. She was barely 18, my dad 19, when I was born. I'm now 23 and expecting a little boy :)
Mohalkien
Congrats! :-)
aSlaveToChaos
Thank you! We (his daddy and I) are very excited! :D
MasterXehanort
If i ever get married... no kids for a while.
TurtlePee
Until you get married for having kids.
DaltonWStrong
My parents' advice is to newly wed folks is to wait at least a year after getting married, even if you want kids soon.
MasterXehanort
Im talking like 5 years minimum. I'd like to enjoy my life for a little while.
Dispari
I'm married. No kids ever.
setarii
Good job, you're saving the planet.

Mostly just my pocketbook and sanity. And marriage! Kids are a lot of stress on marriages.
Borednstalkn
It is a law of marriage that if you both agree to something at first, one of you WILL change your mind within a year. Source: Married man.
ClandestineLibrary
That's how I feel. My big concern is that I want enough time with just my spouse before we have to make more spaces at the dinner table.

That was what I said. My daughter is almost a year old now.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
My mom was saying that she doesn't want me to have kids if I get married and I just cackled and said, "yeah, if".

I asked my mom is kids were worth it because I'm on the fence. She replied "Meh".

Kids are all joy and no fun.
melveys
I dunno, my kids are starting to be fun now that the oldest is almost 12.
Quigonjinnandjuice
I'm excited for that day. My first is only a few months old. I love that kid more than I imagined...but I wish he would just sleep...
rapestork
As a mom, 10/10 would do again. But also it's a GIANT pain in the ass for YEARS. Choose wisely.
Sholan
I just had some recently, their cuteness is the only reason you don't murder them in their sleep...oh, and brain chemistry
allamericanigneousrock
Only reason I would consider it worth it is because my grandma always says how grateful she is to have them in her old age
globexcorporation
I genuinely like my kids. They're pretty fun to be around, even though they're also a hassle sometimes. They are both very sweet and loving.
icebare
Then you hold them for the first time.
sonyablade
My mom said if she could do it over again, she'd totally rethink the marriage and kids thing. "But I love you both!"
thewildplum
Thats a good honest answer.
TheNamesTalcJamesTalcSpecialAntiCakedayAgent
My mom of 3 has some pretty solid advice. If you have to ask, the answer is no.
Adrilidexus
Thanks mom.
SirsMadeline
If you're on the fence, don't do it.
dustbowldano
My dad (and Grandma) told me they wished they never had kids. Best advice I ever got.
eggmuffin
Analyze the matter dispassionately. Are there really any reasons to have kids beyond biological imperative? Any good ones? Or any at all?
Leoxcr
I don't think I'll ever had kids but if I want to for some reason, I will adopt.
InLoveandUnderPaid
I'm adopted (22 right now and graduating this May with a job offer) and I can't imagine how different my life would be without my mom<3
InLoveandUnderPaid
I strongly agree that adopting is an amazing option (I'm adpoted from El Salvador). You really will have a huge impact on that child's life
kickpass
samsies, there are so many kids who need help, why would you ever make more?
twominutesforhighsticking
Adoption is pretty damn hard. It's expensive as hell for private, and most of the kids you can adopt from the state have serious problems--
twominutesforhighsticking
--which is awesome if you want and are able to handle that. I could afford to have a child and raise them, but I can't afford adoption. :/
LadyMcCormick
same here bruh. Its much cheaper to get knocked up.
wittyandcharmingnamenoonehasthoughtofyet
My mom told me she doesn't want me to have kids because of how bad of an experience it was for her.
walterpeck
Really wanting to be a parent, I've learned, has no bearing on how good of a parent you will be.
pizzaparty
Guess I pulled the short straw then. Mom didn't want to be a parent and then wasn't good at it (I was treated as a burden).
pizzaparty
Luckily, our relationship recently turned around. She apologized sincerely for being such a shit parent and is making it right. I am 28.
WhatDoYouSeeOnTheHorizon
Good for her. I am also 28 and I'm learning I just need to let go of my relationship with my Mom. I will never be a priority for her.
pizzaparty
I'm sorry. When I approached my mom about our relationship I was ready to close the door once and for all. She surprised me by owning up.
walterpeck
Sorry your mom sucks. No, not like that.
pizzaparty
She's really turned it around lately and I'm proud of her. I'm still pretty messed up, though. That'll take a long time to undo.
walterpeck
Some people get unwillingly put into raising children and excel at it. Some people really want kids and learn they are shitty parents.

Atalung
I have a kind of duty to because my sister doesn't and I have no close cousins, I'm the only potential progenitor of my family left

I should note that that is not my only reason for having children someday, as I think that's why I'm getting downvoted

My mom said it was the best decision she made in her life. People are different.

always has to be the centre of attention. Anyways after my sister popped that kid out my mum pretty much lost interest in my child and 2/3
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
never followed through with any of the help she promised us, like baby sitting etc, so if you don't have any support its hard but worth it 3
IPeakedinSecondGrade
That's sad:( similar situation in my family. You're right, it would be great to have support but it's worth it.
asotzen
Hate to say it but your mother is a horrible person. Who picks one grandkids over another? Kids maybe, not grandkids. P.S. Trololololol
DirtyLittleBirdyFeet
Mine said "well if you're just that bored with life and too stupid to find anything better to do"..thanks mom.

Imgur teaches you to write good Twitter-sized summaries.
dpidcoe
Which is why you should adopt, rather than have your own. It's been said for years about pets, no reason it shouldn't apply to humans too.
melveys
Agreed but humans are a lot more complex than pets. The problems some older kids have can't just be loved or medicated away sadly. 1/2
melveys
I was in the foster care system and I saw some pretty messed up kids who would need parents with very specialized skills. 2/2

Or we're too inefficient with resources. The surface of the Earth is largely human-free.
mmurrbles
As an economist I like your thought process.
thanatos777
It takes more than just a couple square feet of personal space in order for a human to survive.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I know, but less than surface of earth / 7*10^7. Our main problems are resource consumption and waste generation.
thanatos777
Right, and fewer people consume fewer resources and create less waste. Especially in the developed world.
maymay1588
Exactly, except the wrong types of people are overpopulating it. A lot of the time, the worst examples of humans have the most kids.

TrippingPocahontas
i asked my mom this, and she said it definitely was -- because there is nothing like going through childhood again while you're an adult.
matthevv9801
As a current adult I have younger sisters, I don't want to relive childhood as an adult any more.
HelpfulHomo
Or...or maybe she wants you to have children JUST LIKE YOU. Who she can sugar/caffeinate up before sending home to your sleeplessness. >.>
bangbangbangbang
Unless your parents were like mine, and control everything in an attempt to relive it through you. ohgodsendhelp

Also, she thinks I'm the light of her life. I was a shitty teenager, too.

Exect it is not care free, your actions will shape a humans actions for ever. Every little thing
bromanbro
Apparently by the mid to late childhood years, parental influence is much lower than outside influences (teachers, friends, media, etc.)
subnaree2
That's why it's even better to act as true (and that is, childish) as possible. Clenching your ass about everything breaks little humans.
