adam, trouble at home? :(
friends who become parents usually cease to become friends usually because i have to be friends with their kid too and the parents themselves turn into these gigantic fucking douches.
"my kid did this"
"my kid did that"
good lord, i know i sound like a selfish prat for saying that, but it's nothing compared to what has happened to the people I've seen become parents
THEY HAVE MADE FUCKING MYSPACE PAGES FOR THEIR KIDS AND THEY MOVED ALL THEIR KIDS TO THE TOP EIGHT AND MAKE POSTS AS THOUGH THEY WERE THE KID
WHAT SORT OF IDENTITY SUBLIMATING CRAZY ALIEN PARASITE BULLSHIT IS THAT?
are these parents Japaneseno, sadly. they are white middle class suburbanites who all of a sudden since they crapped out kids have had their politics radically shift to fascism/authoritianism.
I often lol whenever I see (usually) a woman asked the question "what are your hobbies?" and she answers "taking care of my kids" or a variation of that.friends who become parents usually cease to become friends usually because i have to be friends with their kid too and the parents themselves turn into these gigantic fucking douches.

I'm sort of trying to make the kid be more like me, as opposed to the other way around. But yes, it becomes sickening when you hang out with other parents, and people talk about kids. Their kids, my kid, other kids, kids. Kid shows, kid toys, kid everything. Blargh. I think to many people, kids are the only important things to have ever happened to them. And that's sort of sad.
I played Crackdown together with my kid yesterday. She isn't old enough to "get" how to play video games yet, but she, and I, had a lot of fun with her directing where I should be jumping next.

You shouldn't be allowed to fuck if you don't think you could handle a kid.

Just wait til LBP comes out. I can't wait to play that with my kids.

Why? You can just use rubbers and birth control.
I have long maintained that children are filthy, unnatural creatures. I could never see myself being a parent, much less a good one because at heart I am a really, really selfish creature. I don't WANT to think about other people's needs before my own, or even put them on an even footing with my own. This is also why all of my relationships have failed. I'm probably a sociopath as well, but at least I know it and have taken the necessary steps of removing myself from most interactions with society at large. It works to everyone's benefit, imo.:lol
But yes, kids. They are the second worst STD you can get. Just one letter off from the first worst, too- AIDS will kill you, but KIDS will take away at least 20 years of your life and make you forget who you are. Blecch.

I agree. I'm a nice person, but I'm also a rather selfish person in the sense that I prefer my own company, shun social events, etc. I'm not the marrying/dad type until proven otherwise. I'd much rather be that Awesome Uncle that all my nephews love. Like my uncle who let me watch R rated movies and read Bond and Vietnam novels, always telling me the exact pages that I could find the sex scenes

This reminds me of something David Cross said.
It also makes me think of Lordmaji. Yeah, that's right LM. :punchspoiler (click to show/hide)j/k LM. It makes me think of Brody's father[close]

Maji's son sounds like a badass. Less disturbing stories on little ms drinky gein, more stories of Maji Jr :bow

The brat has more charisma in his pinkie finger than I do all together. Couple years ago I let FA watch him for the day... FA sat him down and they played Dead Rising. :lol He was like 2. :lol He still talks about it.

My kid came home to the sound of God of War. For a while, she wouldn't fall asleep with the game playing in the background. Between that, Gears and a flurry of shooters, I'm certain the kid is going to later in life face revelations of a previous life as a soldier in World War II.
no kids for me
:heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat my wife :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat
My wife doesn't like kids. She doesn't even like holding babies, and on more than one occasion she has gotten in trouble with family/friends for amking fun of their kids. Her mom is the same way.
Raising kids is the worst experience in the world.
Something that isn't uttered in polite company, something a parent can never say aloud. But the truth is that children sap your vitality, your energy and ultimately your identity.
You will never love anything more than you love your child. More than you love a spouse, more than you love even yourself (which isn't hard to fathom because most people are self-loathing.). Which is what makes parenting most painful of all. All of their shortcomings, failings and pain that a child experiences will hit you ten-fold. The constant balance of giving your child enough room to grow, but protecting them is a constant battle you never feel you get right. Lots of regret.
Maybe that's why parents don't tell us this. They want us to suffer and torture ourselves in the same way they had to endure years past. A passive-aggressive revenge plot to make us appreciate them. Or maybe they just forget.
So, I'm giving child-rearing a thumbs down. Later in life, when you come to the same realization .. remember who told you first.
to the guys that do have kids -- is there anything rewarding about it that you do enjoy? it's easy to be all doom and gloom about raising a child, but there's also the beauty of seeing them develop and helping them learn.
:o
i try to never talk about my kid unless she did something odd or disturbing
and i was on the "child-rearing is soul-crushing" bandwagon before you, ta! i have a bunch of gaf posts griping about it.

i'm definitely the nurturing type and i've always wanted kids
no kids for me
:heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat my wife :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat
Man I wish I could find a woman like that. Every girl I meet, it eventually always turns to "eventually we're gonna have kids, you know" and I'm like "eventually YOU'RE going to have kids, bye lol".
adam, trouble at home? :(
