If you have kids, are you happy with the number you have? Are you satisfied with the age you had them at?

If you do not have kids, do you want them? How may? At what age?

[Bill]

sounds like someone is concidering getting pregnat......

Got 3 kids 2 of my own and one from the wife's prev.

they all hate me and the feeling is mutual. wish the little fuckers would hurry up and turn 18 so I can kick them out....

for really, kids are great, but I don't want any more...and glad I had them now...I'm 29.

[ClayRock]

i can see myself having a kid in 2 or 3 years. I only want one, I would rather have the money to spoil the shit out of one then barely get by with 3 or 4. Plus, I'm a selfish bastard and still want to have a little fun, I don't think having multiple kids will permit that.

[Banana]

Well, I was engaged when I was 19 and emphatically DID NOT want kids (it may have been because of the potential father :S it wasn't Jimmy). But then, I didn't get married until I was 27, and there was a bit of clock ticking. Now, I can't even go to a pub with friends without them asking the dreaded question.

We want kids......we just don't know when......and not now......so, I don't know when. :S And we want two - I think.

[PurpleHaze]

Ooooh, good question for me! I'm baby crazy.

I've got one girl, 17 months old. I had her when I was 23, and I'm very happy with that age. I always wanted to have kids early so I could have a few and be a young mom. I want to be done having kids by 30 or earlier.

I plan on having at least one, maybe 2 more. And I want my kids 2 to 2 1/2 years apart. So, that being said, I'm probably going to need to try for another one very very soon.

first to clay...

I'm throwing all the shit out the window....so don't think I'm bs'ing here. this is the serious bill. You can spoil the hell outta two still have funds left to spoil yourself. My kids go without nothing....and I just bought a 6000 dollar 4wheeler. and nothing is better for child development then sibling rilvery.(sp?) the first one was a bunch of hard work...the second is kinda doing eveything on his own, only because he's trying to keep up with his sis. I have alot of "only kid" friends and most wish they would have had a sibling.

Nana...

Kids are great. my happiest moments happen with mine. and I'm glad i had them when I was younger® so as I can have some time to myself when I'm old®.

Ya, I agree Bill, but Jimmy's 30 and I'm, 29 - we're not going to be "young" parents. So, now, it's just deciding whether we get all of the travelling and spending, etc. out of the way now. All my friends want kids, but we all sit here, hearing the clock tick and no one is willing to start the trend. :$

i can barely spoil myself now...hell, whiping my own ass is a challenge, i think one will be enough.

[Beaucephus]

I have three boys of my own and two girls and a boy who belong to my second wife. Yes, It's a fucking Brady bunch. 16 year old stepdaughter, 14 year stepdaughter, 12 year old son, 10 year old son, 8 year old stepson, 5 year old son.


I'm getting a vasectomy.

[PurpleHaze]

Clay you'll have so much fun with your kids. It kinda makes you act like a kid yourself.

And if you have family nearby, you always have a babysitter. Believe me, I still go out and throw down even though I've got a kid.

And Bill is right, nothing compares to the happiness you get out of spending time with your kids.

[ClayRock]

i've gotta get married first :mellow:

[leucetios]

Got no kids.
Want no kids.

[Charon]

Would love to have another one even though my patients grow thin with this one.
I had my fun, had all the toys and had the adventures already now I get to enjoy them again with and through my kids. At times it does suck and your life is changed. If we have another now I would be almost retiring when they started to drink legally so you have to factor that stress in.
So here is a pic form this weekend, she is 4 y/o broken arm and still playing hard,
yeah I'm proud

[leucetios]

I need to amend my earlier statement. My wife and I unofficially adopted our 15 yr old neighbor 5 years ago. She has more psychological problems than mankind knows about and we got to help her through that. At 15 she was almost two years behind in high school and going to a school for troubled kids where they kept saying "you don't have to graduate till your 21, don't worry about it" (cause that way they get money from the state until she is 21).

We worked with her, she graduated on time and started college this year. She's struggling a little, but she's doing ok. Working part time and studying.

That was enough parenting for me in this lifetime I think.

Currently the only motivation to have kids is so there is someone to change my diapers when I get old. But I don't plan on living that long, so I'm cool.

Not anymore you don't.


Seriously... I am 27 and have a 6 month old. The wife and I dated for 7 years and we were married for 2 years last may. I am glad we did it the way we did. We both finished college before we did the marriage thing and now we have a great baby.


Kids are great. Don't plan for them though. Take them as they come. A few of my friends are "planning" to have theirs and they are having trouble. Just enjoy the ride.

Here is a pic of my wife, three stepchildren, and the little boy to the bottom right is my son with her. 5 years old and three open heart surgeries later, he is indeed my true inspiration in life. They all are though.

Great family Pic Beau.


I'm 27, married, and have no desire to have kids right now. I'm very selfish, and until that changes, I don't see any kids coming our way, unless the wife stops taking her pills (sneaky). I like to travel, sleep in, and play with lots of toys. Kids will pretty much end that for me.
