TheNewGirl 1,094 Posted September 29, 2006 When I got back from Singapore my wife and 3 kids knew that my body clock was focked up and were very supportive (and quiet) about me sleeping when I wanted for how long I wanted. My kids and I do what we can when my husband has been working a lot, or is sick/tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,784 Posted September 29, 2006 The very best reason not to have kids is that you don't want kids. So, good for you for not having them. well yeah, and that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty_thor 115 Posted September 29, 2006 I live in a house that is big enough so that i can't hear the kid crying downstairs when i am upstairs with the door closed. So, I can sleep when i need to and the wife can take care of the kid. I think a house is another concept that EDJR does not get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GutterBoy 2,537 Posted September 29, 2006 i'm a better dad than you could ever hope to be Do you tell yourself that every weekend when you're at the bar drinking and your kid is at home hoping her Dad comes home, or maybe she doesn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GutterBoy 2,537 Posted September 29, 2006 i dont go to bars anymore. You just start a thread every Friday entitled "WHO'S DRINKING TONIGHT?" for the hell of it, right? Tell us more about how you're Dad of the year. Is it ignoring your family while you are glued to the TV watch another KC sports team lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it ignoring your family while you are glued to the TV watch another KC sports team lose? Drinking does not equate going out to the bars to get smashed. I also don't watch TV, just chiefs and royals and jayhawks, and if it werent for that I wouldnt even need a TV. Why are you trying to challenge me? I'm confident in my parenting skills.

Team Revell 0 Posted September 29, 2006 if you don't have kids, who is going to look after you when you are old and can't pay your own bills and can't wipe your own ass and stuff? This is the main reason people do in fact have kids. Wanting someone to care for them when they get older and a need to leave something behind in the world. Fear of death, immortality, giving their life meaning, yada yada yada. Since I'm going to die of AIDS or liver failure when I'm 38, none of this really concerns me.

Team Revell 0 Posted September 29, 2006 That's bullsh!t. You are right. I left out the biologically programmed need for reproduction. Everything is about the propagation of the species. It is why sex feels good. It is why babies- be they baby humans, kittens, puppies whatever- are so cute. To give the adults inclination to care for them and nurture them. It is biology buddy. It is unnatural not to love your children. Unless of course, you name is edsr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't find it cute. In fact I crushed the little guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AirRam 3 Posted September 30, 2006 If only edsr would have felt the same way as edjr does about this topic... Also I'm going to be going for 3 days with little sleep to get home. FIRST thing I'll do is kiss the wife and play with Ram Jr, regardless of being tired. Having a kid is the all time sh!t IMO. And like gutter and jerry mentioned, if you need to crash your spouse is the one who is kind enough to take care of the munchkins. So don't harbor any distaste for the kidlets. Maybe you need to re-evaluate your choice (or potential choice) of mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
