5 of my friends are going to have kids soon, it's crazy. It must be caused by global warming.
|
33 too and no kids. Guess it's not the right time, yet :)

i have three boys. It is a lot of work. I wish i had them when i was about 25. Just because of the energy required. I have to workout just so i have enough energy to keep up with them.
IF i could do it again, i would try to have kids at around 25. |

All my friends are having children right now, my brother had a baby 12 weeks ago, my entire social circle is having kids and I get the same stupid comments every time, "You guys are next" or "Makes you want to have one, doesn't it"?. I love my nephew more than anything and I have only met him a handful of times but it doesn't make me want a baby now, I like my life too much and am far too selfish to bring a baby into my world. |
25 and I think... hope I'm ready.
When I asked my significant other the "what if?" he plainly said: "Well, you're gonna have to quit smoking." For some reason I've been calm and cheerful about it ever since :) I'll be very happy once it happens. Oh, and yeah - many of my friends are either going to or have given birth within the past year. All of them are happy (yet some under-slept and extremely tired). This weekend I visited a friend of mine who gave birth to twin girls in February. Sleeps for 40 minutes 4 times a day since, poor girl. Two kids at a time is brutal. I think one feels ready once they find the right person to have kids with. |
Our son turns 2 y. old next month. Can't believe I even say that, but I'm now 35. Time passes FAST.

that's green light for you..that its time for you either

It's casual conversation. When two people are together for an extended amount of time or when two people get married, it's extremely common (as in, just about everyone in the world) and even human nature for those two people to have a child. Nobody is prying, nobody cares that much about any particular persons choices and desires, it's casual conversation. In reality, it's you that is the weird one for not having kids, not them for asking. So? when are you two having kids? PS. I don't want kids either. Not an attack, just pointing out that we are the odd ones. :winkwink: |
35 .........

watch out you party friend are getting less now

A question like that is more than casual. Do you want to be lied to ... or hear about someone's medical issues that they probably don't want to share -- and possibly ruin their day because of a dumb curiosity that could have been kept to yourself? I can't think of any other "casual" conversation subject that could be more sensitive and loaded ...other than asking someone how their childhood rape went. |

Amazing, are you a robot? You meet a girl you love you'd be banging them one by one, Jeez. |

Something I will never have to deal with (no kids here - I spoil my nieces and nephews)... :) :stoned ADG |
I had my kid at 32. It changed my life.
|
I was 20 so was my wife. I am now 39 and my wife and I are going to be empty nesters soon. Kind of nice because we are obviously more financially secure than we were in our early 20's.
Party time! |
I was a RAGINGLY single manslut until I got married at 43, then my son was born 5 years later at age 48. He is almost 3 years old now, and, in a life that has been filled with all kinds of crazy adventures all over the world, this is the best adventure of them all.

By the way, how DID that childhood rape thing go for you? Do you still have those weird dreams? :winkwink: . |
I had my first at 25 and my last at 43, I'm fixed now, but with 6 kids, ranging from 16 months to 19 years old, I'm done.
Some people aren't meant to have kids and some don't think they are meant to...until they do. World changer for sure. Before kids, I never thought I'd ever be a dad or have kids...boy did that change. So far, things are going pretty good...only one that doesn't want to talk to me (not counting the 16 month old ;-)), but she's 17 and thinks she knows everything, and guess who got the call the other day when she found herself in trouble that her mother couldn't bail her out of? Parenthood is a bitch. I can't think of anything that is equal parts maddening as well as rewarding. My oldest is just a couple weeks away from his post-high school education and on a nearly full ride education for multi-media design. Rochard makes a great point about that love. even when they are pissed at you and swearing you up and down, wishing they had "another daddy" you still love them with all of your heart...and they end up coming around to not hating you so much. It's one hell of a ride and not meant for the squeamish or a bunch of pussies. |

as for kids: http://i.imgur.com/B8cyH4B.png :winkwink::winkwink::winkwink: I am a person who loves his freedom above all. I just came back from a half year trip around the world and fortunately I am financially free enough to do that. I love travelling and doing what I want, when I want (with certain limits of course). I would have to give up a huge portion of that freedom for having kids. Doesn't sound appealing to me. Also I have 7 nephews and nieces and dont have a really personal relationship to any of them. I know they say that would change if it was your own, but I'm not eager to find out. One thing I do know however is that the only constant in life is change. Maybe I will think differently in a few years, who knows. As for now I dont think I will have kids ever. |

It's just that as a parent... I feel sad some people will never know unconditional love, the kind you can only get from your child. And it really does change how you look at the world. |
