oh totally. i come from a huge hardcore Catholic family, and for those who don't know, they reproduce like it's going out of style. I've been saying it all my life, and all that time they've been kicking back the same thing- a holier-than-thou laugh and a "just wait until you're older" or more recently, "you'll find the right girl and that'll change". No it won't. It's NOT gonna change. I hate kids and everything about them. IF it ever happens, it's because the girl i want to be with wants kids, and I love her more than I hate kids-- and I hate kids A LOT. I'd basicalyl be giving up my future happiness just to stay with her.

Great responses, keep them coming.

Laws on tubetying may vary from state to state, but it's a generally accepted view that Doctors should not press upon patients their opinion. So what your OBGYN told you is soo out of line. At least, that's how I see it and I'm sure you do, too. I want to get my tubes tied, too, but I'm going to wait a little longer to do it.

Eventually I definitely want to have some kids. I have some mad genes to pass on..........

I was such a fucked up kid that it'd be a shame if the world didn't get to experience another one.

I'd love to have children and God willing one day I will. The question for me is though, as Prince once put it in a song, "is my character enough to be/one that deserves a copy made".

I don't hate kids, but I know I don't have the patience to deal with them.
I'm in no rush to have one, though it's hard to imagine NOT having children. But on the other hand, there's just no way I could deal with it.

It's an awesome experience. Don't miss out on that in life!

I'm gonna have kids so they can be successful at all the things that I wasn't. That way I can live through them, what else are they for...oh yeah, the grass needs to be mowed.

I'm having a child. It wasn't planned or expected, and I'm still not sure what I think.

My son is just over a year old.

We'll start trying for number two in about 2 years.

Where's the poll option for "Already got one!"

He is the greatest thing I have ever gotten to experience. No matter how shitty my day has been, hearing him laugh (and even for a 1 year old he has got a belly laugh) will make all things right again.

I look forward to having plenty of nieces and nephews from my slut sister ;) - Just kidding... partly.

A. I'm way too focused on MY needs and MY life to care for a child.
B. I can barely stand to be around them for more than 20 minutes at a time (My anxiety flies through the roof)
C. I couldn't afford them right now if I wanted them!.

I've considered putting some o' the baby-batter on cold storage and getting a vasectomy. No Dr. will touch me!

Great thread on a very personal topic.

Probably. I dont think I would want more than two though, and all girls would be bad too :D

If I could have it totally my way, I would want a son first, followed by a daughter.

Totally going to have kids one day...

I definetly want kids...as long as they aren't girls. I would be that asshole over protective father. Actually as long as they are healthy, I don't care what sex they are.
