How Do You Guys Feel About Kids?

[OneforfreedomParticipant 930]

Yeah let me be clear guys- To those of you who are citing overpopulation and having to have a wife to have kids, I think you may have misunderstood me. I’m wondering about existing kids who are orphaned or don’t otherwise have a home…

Maybe not adoption, but fostering kids for a short period of time could be rewarding. The cost is nearly negligible (in fact, I heard they reimburse you for many expenses), you’re giving a soul a home, and it’s a short period of time (many are a few months only), so it doesn’t destroy your freedom.

I’d most likely do this once I were financially independent and did not need to work for a living anymore…so around age 40.

I’ve been exploring the idea of having sons.

The main problem is that they would have to live in this turd called society.I cannot leave them to live in such a place with a clear conscience.

And you know if i where to have kids i’d have to get close to those t~~~s…hell no.

In ten or twenty years, when I’ve saved up enough money to f~~~ off and live like a prince for the rest of my days, I may sire a child through an artificial womb or a surrogate mother, or I may adopt.

 

But I won’t have a child by “accident” or commit to that responsibility without proper planning. It’s too much of a burden otherwise.

Same here brother. I also have stopped caring in a genetic sense. The future beyond my own lifespan is not something I consider anymore.

There’s moments when I think it would be awesome to be a father. Just a single father, not part of a larger family where everyone interferes and tries to muscle in on the kid (several people I know well and a few family members too tell me they think I’d make a good one as well). But before I’d ever think of it I’d want to be in a good position financially and geographically to devote the right amount of time and attention to my kid – and a stable environment is a must. It would have to be a whole lot better than it is right now. So I doubt it’ll ever happen.

Then there’s moments I don’t think I would be good enough because my childhood was kind of f~~~ed up by other people. If you don’t have a good model of family to go on, you have to figure it all out from scratch and there’s always that doubt you won’t meet the higher standards you set since you desperately don’t want to repeat others’ mistakes. Mistakes that might even be in your own genes. Ugh.

That said, I’m someone who can easily live without it and probably will. If I do end up in TESOL work there’s a strong possibility I’ll have to teach kids and I don’t mind that. Sounds great actually, since I could be useful to these kids, enjoy time with them, but give them back at the end of the day.

You do realize that this is the absolute worst possible time in human history to be having children……

Not only that, it’s the worst time in history to consider any kind of happiness comes from intimacy with a woman! Therefore it all goes in the s~~~-can!

Thanks feminism, LIFE’S GREAT!
