Life without kids??

Is there not a lot of people who have kids but as time goes on look back and think that maybe they shouldn't?

I hear quite a lot "don't get me wrong, I love my kids but if I had my time again I probably wouldn't"

Also the most stress free and happiest people I know are either childless or their children have flew the nest.

Lots of people have kids without really thinking about it, the cost, the lack of freedom, the potential lack of intimacy with their partner, the lack of time to do anything other than be a parent etc etc. But the thing with kids is that there's no turning back.

I'm not saying you're incorrect by the way, just that what you've said can be reversed to those that have kids too.

The hardest decision i have had today is do i cook the dogs offal or pasta and tuna, beyond that tinkering with my sat setup and a bit of hoovering, bit of washing the pots then some bbq.
I can't deny it is lovely not having to keep an eye out for 3pm for the school run, doctor appointments etc fuck that xD
 
I'm another that,doesnt have any,doesnt ever want them,and cant be arsed with others talking about theirs.

And i detest leeches who have them,planned or otherwise........with no other intention than expecting taxpayers to look after the fucking things.

We knew you wouldn't have any! Goes without saying.
 
Too many people on the planet as there is, if you want a kid go down to the kiddy pound and get one that isnt wanted by its own parents. Otherwise put a johnny on the end of your cock.

That's great, but people saying "you'll change your mind" is bullshit. And for all the reasons I've stated.

I don't want kids. I hate the fucking things.

No one can tell you or anyone else what they will do. I can say with confidence that people do change their minds and people that you never expected to have kids do so; although I am damn sure the urge tends to be stronger in the female of the species. As for hating kids, I know people who said that and meant it but still ended up having them. I think I spotted out of corner of my eye that someone else has already said, and I'm sure you have heard before, other people's kids and your own are two very different things.

Just to reiterate, I am not suggesting you or anyone else will or should change their mind. In fact, what I would say is do not have kids unless you really want them and are prepared for the worry and sacrifice that comes with them.

As I said to SWP, I would not recommend to anyone to have them if they don't really want them. My daughters will, for instance, have cost my wife and me a small fortune by the time they leave full time education and that equals a lot of sacrifices but if I could turn the clock back, I would not change our decision; my wife, she'd have had more.

We had kids late so we'd been married ten years and a couple for over 15 before we had them so we had got plenty of things out of our system, as it were, before we tackled family life.

Definitely going to have to get Mrs Riot and Mrs FI together to keep them as unbroody as possible!
