HAVING KIDS: YOUR OPINION

Kids. Are they definate life-ruiners, are they necessary as vessels for continuing on the legacy of your brilliant genius, or are they something else entirely? Sure, babies are cute, but would you want one of the repugnant little shits?

VOTE AND DISCUSS.

They are neccessary for the continuation of the species. Otherwise, we would all go the way of the Dodo...

Yeah, but some other jerk can continue on the species. There's six billion of us, so I mean, don't take having kids so seriously.

It depends if they are planned or unplanned. From what I gather there are a hell of a lot of benefits. It's good to have someone take care of you when you are older without having to pay them?

There's no way that I'm having a kid (unless I somehow become a billionaire), my plan is to spend all my money & time on myself and live a happy life.

But you will have to spend a lot of money and time on them in the first 20 years of their lives or so, so technically, you're paying a lot for having them take care of you as you become old and senile.

Someone else can have the kids, I'd rather not.

That said, many people end up with kids whether they like it or not.

i prefer to taint others offspring then deal with the reprocussions of dealing with my own.

i would never have kids unless someone else raised them for me but hell, i may want some later in life. gotta pass my twisted genes onto another generation.

My old lady and I are planning on having a kid in the not too distant future. He/She'll be a Little Extreme.

Being only 17 and having kept my dick in check so I donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t end up with any unwanted children like some of the dumbasses at school the whole idea is kind of far fetched for me. Admittedly kids can be annoying bastards, but they can be fun too. I spend time with this neighbor kind who just moved in named Wesley doing a little babysitting sometimes and even with his pro-digimon agenda and habit of repeatedly asking how old I am its fun to play baseball with him sometimes. I guess it comes down to me either raising a family and being responsible, or living lonely in a dark mansion while I wander my gardens in a smoking jacket contemplating the bouquet of my Havana cigar.

Kids good later.

Kids are good. Fuck the six point two billiion or whatever we're up to. Have you looked at the kids these days? They're all idiots. They need to get the shit kicked out of them, and shoved back into their parents for having sex as a fourteen year old... then again as a fifteen year old... and sixteen... etc etc. There are tons of kids, yes, but few GOOD kids. Have some kids. Raise them well. Do the world a favor.

Yeh, they can be trouble but only if you're a pussy at parenting. I'm gonna have kids just so I can raise a couple kids right.

My parents were bastards to me, and I hate them for it, but I like how I turned out so lather rinse repeat?

The whole idea of "My mom scarred me for life by never letting me get every toy I wanted so I'll lavish my kid." just turns them into little whining bitches that live to annoy people. I can't even tell you how many times one of my three five year old cousins does something retarded after I tell them to stop, just because I told them to stop. That shit wouldn't fly with my kids, damn.

A good, good reason to raise them. They'll be more productive than the sycophants that inhabit the job market these days.

I was raised pretty poorly according to all the "standards" parents are supposed to follow. I never had curfew, I had no rules. I was alowed to do drugs in the house, smoke, drink. Basically did whatever I wanted.

I've held the same job for 4 years, and I'm 5 classes shy of graduating college with a 3.8GPA with only a very short police record. I think I turned out pretty damned good.

Kids today need a good beating. Parents don't punish children like they used to. When I really fucked up, I got the shit kicked out of me. Just the fear of a shit-kicking kept me in line until I was old enough to drive away. Plus, if I fucked up at school, I got paddled. That kept me in line at school because the designated paddler was this evil old woman with a giant muscular arm.

Bring back corporal punishment at school. That'd set us right again. And let parents kick their kids when they fuck up instead of labeling it "abuse."

Most kids are dipshits and aren't raised right. My 11 years old brother turned out OK, because I was there to kick the shit out of him when he listened to sbluc7 or the rasmus, or to slap him for any disobediance. When I look at my younger cousins though, it just get me pissed, these little shits don't have any respect, they don't say hi, they can't look at you in the eyes.

Anyway, I don't think I'll have any, not now at least, I'd rather waste my money on my personnal pleasure. My woman will probably convince me though, and I'll end up having like 3 kids.

Edit : Some kids do deserve a beating, but it's not necessary in all cases, I never had any curfew either and I'm still doing whatever I want. If I get into shit, I deal with it alone, my parents were always confident that I could deal with my problems. Some kids can't though, my little brother needs support and back up.

After our first, my old lady and I are getting our junk cut out. Tubes tied all around. WOO!

Raising a child couldn't be that hard... They just have to learn the right things.
They need to know that being disobedient hurts. Screaming hurts, and generally doing anything hurts.
And then one day, all you need to do is glance at your trusted cane and suddenly all is caln, the dishes are washed and the house cleaned.
Raising a kid is almost like training a wife.

Seriously though, I suppose haveing kids is a necessary evil, what I fear the most though is the pregnancy, all moodswings and such.
There should be a place where one could leave ones pregnant wife and then pick her up when she has given birth or something.

My parents never punished me when I did something wrong and I turned out okay, but I can't say the same about my brother though :/
He is 11 years old and is a fucking pussy, cries all the time when there is something he can't watch on teh telly or a muffin he can't have.
I suppose that I'll have to use your tactics: toughen him by kicking his ass when he does that stuff, or something.
