Besides placating your own ego, is there a point? - Wed, 30 Jan 2008 3:05pm

What if you want your own band? Or baseball team?

Or simply someone to clean up your house when you're old and lazy?

Or play it like the lottery, keep having kids till you pop out a lawyer.

Maybe you're in a condo that doesn't allow pets?

So many reasons... - Wed, 30 Jan 2008 3:33pm

Look at Tony from Peruke. He had his son and now the kid is a blazing drummer and Tony jams with him probably more than anyone else. - Wed, 30 Jan 2008 5:25pm Edited: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 5:25pm

dammit i posted my reply in the wrong thread...
for starters, how is it selfish to want to conitinue your family heritage/line? It becomes selfish when you live vicariously through your child's life and create a false sense of individuality through that; otherwise your passing on what your parents GAVE to YOU... LIFE. Some use the excuse that our "world" or "way of life" is disgusting and wont dare bring a child into this earth... That's more selfish than actually having a child in my opinion. IF you dont want children then just say exactly that; you dont need an excuse to cover you insecurities. Deal with it. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 2:25pm

Sure, that's fine for those of us that are here. Just because I was born, doesn't mean I have to 'return the favour' that's ridiculous. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 4:03pm

I should add though that if you really want to raise a child/children-adopt! There are many children who need it. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 4:24pm

Freaky site. We might have gone too far, but that's no reason for extinction. We were nature at one time, and U-turns are always doable. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 8:08pm

Jesus, somebody touched a nerve.

Kids are great. My three-year old is driving me batshit right now and my one-year old chomped me on the shoulder last night. And I thought he was coming in for a hug, silly me. Kids (deep breath) are (deep breath) great.

But a ten-second cuddle from either of them makes it all worthwhile. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:18pm

If you think you need a reason to have children, then you're looking at this all wrong. There is probably nothing that can be said to convince you of the joy of having kids. My condolences to all of you.

I have a daughter and i dont think i am selfish to bring her into the world. I can provide for her and love her as much i can and she gets love from all of her family! - Fri, 1 Feb 2008 12:44pm

its good to know theres people out there still poppin'em out to the world! I would love to have a kid; but i'll be the first to admit we have to wait till we're a little more financially fit.
As Doc said, my condolences for those that use "excuses" to not have children... you really dont need to; just the mere fact you dont want to have kids is good enough for me. - Fri, 1 Feb 2008 2:19pm

I agree with the last part of the post above mine... I don't ever see myself wanting to have kids, but it's pretty childish (ironically) to start accusing people who do have kids of somehow being morally inferior to you. It's a pretty basic biological instinct, if people weren't drawn towards the idea of having kids needless to say none of us would be here. - Sat, 2 Feb 2008 3:23pm
