Won't have kids until I'm sure I can support having one.

It costs over $200k to properly raise one in Western Standards of living. :V

parallelzero June 17th, 2012 5:56 PM

I pretty much hate kids.

I'd probably like my own though.

But other people's kids are annoying. >.>;

Livewire June 17th, 2012 6:37 PM

It depends, I guess. I like good, well behaved children who don't irritate me all the time.

Mine will be fabulously chill so no worries there.

Then they come to uncle Livewire's house and play Xbox and eat candy all night.

I never really wanted kids primarily because I was always scared I would be a horrible mom since i'm a worry-wart and whatnot. But after being a nanny to two boys under the age of 10 for 3 years I CAN DO IT >:D Further down the line of course.

Shiny Celebi June 17th, 2012 8:49 PM

I dont really want kids, I never did. I cant see myself changing my mind.

Meganium June 17th, 2012 9:13 PM

I've had my fair share of experience with kids. I babysat my two nieces before and I just think it's enough for me to resist. xD Gives me the idea that I wouldn't want kids of my own.

But I just know for sure that I'll regret saying this in the future and will want one. Watch. lol

Pretty much me, right there.

Sometimes I find other people's kids cute, but mostly they just seem tiring, and I don't want my own right now, not at all. People always say that I'm good with kids, but that's only because I seem pretty young myself, that doesn't mean that I'd be okay trying raise one at this point. xD;

donavannj June 17th, 2012 11:31 PM

I like kids... sometimes. I could probably raise them if I had to, but I'm definitely not at a stage in life where I want any. I have a handful on my hands as it is with getting my own life sorted and off the ground.

Bolin June 18th, 2012 12:20 AM

I like kids, I just don't think that I would have my own, mainly due to the fact that I am a horrible influence on anyone's kids.

Otherworld9) June 18th, 2012 5:49 AM

I wouldn't mind raising my own child, but I'm not a kid's person. I was told kids copy what I do, and I'm a bad...influence on them.

I do get annoyed by other kids, especially when they're not well mannered or behaved, but that's just me.

I'm only a mere teen, so meh, my opinion could change.

igotpokeballz June 18th, 2012 6:52 AM

I have to hear 3 kids (2 my mother babysits) all day screaming...but I was really calm and quiet as a baby. I guess others are different :)

Dr.Kotov June 18th, 2012 7:31 AM

Simply not worthy of the brobdingnagian responsibility.
However, the feeling you experience when the children surrounding you select you as their role model, is...I don't know any other way to put it; it's special.

Netto Azure June 18th, 2012 1:30 PM

Wouldn't everyone be happy if we had children with a Houyhnhnm logical state of mind instead? :P

Mr Cat Dog June 18th, 2012 2:15 PM

Wow, so many Gulliver's Travels references... At least it's not the Jack Black film!

I don't mind being around certain kids. Probably about 50% of them, really. You've got your precocious scamps and your future nerds and the ones who won't hurt a fly. Those kids are all right. But then there's that other 50%... ugh. Don't want to be near any of them at all.

Morkula June 18th, 2012 3:59 PM

I either love kids or can't stand them. I want to smack the ones that run around and scream and just in general be obnoxious, but at the same time there are some little kids who are well-behaved and just awesome to be around.

I definitely want kids of my own though, someday.

Shining Raichu June 18th, 2012 6:56 PM

I love the people who are all "I hate kids but mine will be awesome so I won't hate them."

There is absolutely no way you can know that they won't be little terrors just like the ones you see running around screaming at the mall. Do you think the parents of those kids didn't also think their kids would be awesome? You have no idea that your parenting style is going to be the one that produces an epic kid lmao. Good luck.

Oryx June 18th, 2012 7:12 PM

My kids will be awesome and well-behaved because I was awesome and well-behaved so I'll just have my mother give me her parenting skills. :B

CarefulWetPaint June 18th, 2012 7:21 PM

My kids will be insane little crazies that run around screaming and acting up wherever they go!

Lol jokes!

My kids will be well behaved little champions, especially whenever I'm around. If they arent they will be tortured! (Loss of fun things to them.) This is because I hate those annoying little children and if I had kids that acted like that around me I'd hate them and I dont wanna hate my kids :(

Andys definitely going to be a dad, I can just tell.

Oryx June 18th, 2012 7:26 PM

Today I was in Wal-Mart and my mom was in the bathroom and I hear this kid let out a blood-curdling, heart-stopping scream in there. Not like pain or anything, just like little kid screaming. Her mom, sitting outside, just said "don't scream, honey" and then laughed like there was nothing she could do when the kid continued to shriek. My mom came out and said her ears were ringing.

Children of Wal-Mart, a subset of the People of Wal-Mart.

Shining Raichu June 18th, 2012 7:50 PM

LOL. Oh dear God, that shriek. I've heard it so many times before at the mall... and ironically it's usually the little boys rather than the little girls.

Algo Fonix June 18th, 2012 8:09 PM

Oh man. I was in Walmart on Sunday and these two kids were throwing basketballs at each other. Like, not to each other... but at each other. They were also yelling at each other which I guess is par for the course... but I just had to wonder how someone can think that's an okay thing to do. D:

Freakin' Walmart.

Cherrim June 18th, 2012 8:18 PM

Yesterday as I was helping my dad load groceries into the car, this parent walks by with his two kids and all I heard was the older kid say, loudly, "You mean if I ripped his eyeball out, he wouldn't feel it?!"

I... I don't even know if I want to learn what the context was.

Definitely makes me question the idea of ever having kids because I wouldn't know how to deal with them, especially in public if they were saying inappropriate things or throwing a tantrum, haha.

igotpokeballz June 18th, 2012 8:31 PM

@raichu XD i get chased by mall cops!

Shining Raichu June 18th, 2012 8:54 PM

igotpokeballz, I'd reply to what you just said but I can't because your font colour has blinded me :P

When people at the supermarket used to come up to my trolley when I was a kid and tell my mother how adorable I was, I'd say "You're ugly." Then Mum would say "ANDREW!" and I'd say "Well she is!"

That's a true story, I don't remember it but my mother certainly does lmao.

Livewire June 18th, 2012 8:57 PM

Oh god Walmart.

And if my kids misbehave, then they get to visit their Uncles for a little bit. >:D

HAVE FUN MWAHAHAHA
