Posts: 7,480January 25Interesting article.
And hard to judge people who probably had the best of intentions but it's a hell of a wake-up call having a baby. Your self and your life has to go out of the window. Male or female.
You only have to watch Supernanny (where did that come from?!!) to see how many parents struggle with bringing up kids, rich or poor, intelligent or otherwise. It's enough to put anyone off!
There's no manual. Only your own parents. For some that's good, for others not so.
Maybe the article is correct in saying that more people should just admit to themselves that it's not for them. And others should not even consider it at all. It's no longer 'unnatural' to not want kids, as it once was.
It can only be a good thing if more people are thinking more seriously about it.-----------------
I know this goes against me earlier post, bu' this is one of me favourite poems from Philip Larkin, seems to 'ave the ring o' truth in some regard like:This Be the VerseBY PHILIP LARKINThey f**k you up, your mum and dad.They may not mean to, but they do.They fill you with the faults they hadAnd add some extra, just for you.But they were f**ked up in their turnBy fools in old-style hats and coats,Who half the time were soppy-sternAnd half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man.It deepens like a coastal shelf.Get out as early as you can,And don’t have any kids yourself. -

Posts: 909January 25 The lads who've said they're too selfish... they're actually really smart for thinking about it like that... I wouldn't ever have classed myself as selfish... but four months into fartherhood I can genuinely attest to fact that you really do have to drop everything at times... and if you didn't think about it beforehand and only realised afterwards... then I can see how people could end up regretting it... not me though.. she's ace... and I wouldn't change her for the world!!!

Cute.But I'd rather not spend the rest of my life looking after a kid.... I like to do what I want, when I want.... Not having no kid stopping me do anything. -
Posts: 122January 25 3 kids, love them to death//........... but if they stay after 16 years they're fkers. I want some life back.
And if they're not earning, disown them

Posts: 1,306January 26 I'd love to have kids someday.
Now I just have to find me a baby daddy.

Posts: 726January 26 I've been saying I would like kids for a few years now, still don't have them. And yes, I am far too selfish with watching/attending sports events for kids. My wife reminds me of this everytime I mention it.

Posts: 16,299January 26 I love the feeling you get watching the kids in the park.
Another parent coming over saying ' which ones yours ? '
And you reply ' I havent decided yet ' -
