No idea at all.
Being a parent is a huge pain in the ass! Take it from me, I have 17 days of experience.
Seriously though, nothing is more worth it. But I say this as a 34 year old. 5 - 6 years ago, I probably wouldn't have been too happy, caring for a baby.
I make no decisions. I buy a jar of condoms, take out half, poke them with holes, put them back in the jar, and shake.
Let chaos sort it out.
Don't worry Benny. It gets easier once they're sleeping through the night and you're no longer having to take turns getting up at bugger-all AM holding the little peanut until he goes back to sleep.Quote:

I, too, am way too selfish. I actually get upset at my friends when they have kids because it means that our friendship will change. Especially when 2 sets of friends have kids, because then when we get together all they ever talk about is their kids!
Heh.
It's becoming harder and harder to find and make friends with people my age who don't have, or don't want children.
I think I need to start a Meet-Up. :)

I just... I dunno... feel completely different.
There's nothing extraneous in my life I wouldn't give up to have a child: books, movies, "me" time, sleep, weekends, vacations, etc.
When I make friends with someone who already has a kid, it's OK because I go into the relationship knowing what to expect. It's like, OK, so you're basically out of commission starting at about 10 p.m., and probably not available during the day time on the weekends. That's cool. We'll hang out other times.
But I do pop the question now with new potential friends. Just the other night I was hanging out with a potential new friend in my my new hood. I asked him if he and his wife were ever going to have kids. He said no!
:pritch:
I think our future will be a bright one.
;)
Yeah - I can't imagine giving up "me" time for a kid. Being able to read, play/write music, go out, sleep in, stay up, take off, and do whatever, whenever, is all really important to me.Quote:

I think people have an instinct about whether to have children, and when. It really bothers me to have that subverted (like people having children when they're indifferent or not invested, or people who want children and are ready for children, but for whatever reason can't have them.)Quote:

I used to feel that way, but I've come around a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I think adoption is awesome and people who adopt-- especially kids that are older or ill-- are absolute saints.Quote:

HEY-YOOOOO!!!!
I'm not sure what you're doing here. I mean, you know these are just lame, right?
