How is your baby? I remember you posting about her being in the NICU in that other thread that poster started about his baby.

That's not at all what I was talking about.


You are healthy and slim and you don't smoke or drink to excess. You'll be fine.

I really hope that will be the case

I am a worrier by nature so I instantly think of worst case scenarios with anything. It's part of why I seriously considered not having children. I just have to trust that things will go the way they should for me.

Pedophile question.

I don't care why they want kids. It's inappropriate.

I am like you OP - no children, with no intent to ever have them. Never had the desire.

I used to think that most people just did it because they felt obligated by society. Like they just thought it was the natural progression of things (high school -> college -> marriage -> kids -> retirement), that they were completely obligated to follow that path or risk being weird.

I have since changed my mind.... I can absolutely understand why people want children now. It took my brother and sister and cousins all having children that I could spend time with for me to understand. Seeing them with their children, it just made sense to me one day.

I still don't want them. I am too selfish, I enjoy my money too much, I enjoy my personal time too much. I do enjoy my nieces and nephews - and that is enough for me. Hats of to those of you who do it/did it - but it's not for me

I have to have a son with my middle name bc it's was my great grand fathers and grandfathers middle name and my brother is a hippy homo who won't deliver so I have a family obligation. that's the only reason I want a kid.

I understand you are female from the user name but almost all men really don't want to do anything else except propagate their genetic material to the maximum extent possible.

work, jobs, money-- all of that is done just so you can breed a lot. its just a big game. one thing Utah has going for it is that they get this.

there are some males on this site that don't want children. they post on the cuck board and the politics board. no surprises there.

if you don't mind, how old are you? this is a strange question you have asked.

I have two sons, 25 and 21. I couldn't imagine my life without them.

Hopefully they will take care of us when we are old and won't shack us in a nursing home.

That's why I'm a diiionnnsssaaauuurrrr.

Always get a chuckle out of the parents who think DINKs are missing out. I'd argue you don't know what you're missing. But I certainly respect your decision to have kids. I just never felt paternal.
