Kids - 10 seconds of joy, 30 years of misery.

I absolutely adore children.

But I could never eat a whole one.

But seriously folks, I love kids. Can't wait to have a few of my own. Just the little details in the middle of that....

Children aren't any more or less obnoxious or useless than adults. They are just people like you or I. It's up to the individual.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #5 on:** November 03, 2010, 04:36:09 AM »

That's why we don't need any more of them!

I want kids.

Babies seem to be a hassle. Kids are fun (mostly) if you're a good parent. I've only met a few shit kids with amazing parents. Plus who's going to pick out my nursing home if no kiddies?

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2010, 09:03:06 AM »

I won't be making any.

Maybe I'm selfish and want all of my money to myself but I just don't like the low quality education and the ultra PC style of rearing children.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2010, 11:05:01 AM »

Awesome kids - kids that are well mannered but still have personalities and aren't ultraconservative robot children.

Shitty kids - the kids that run around at GameStop and knock EVERY FUCKING GAME off the shelf, ask 50000 questions and run behind the counter to do so when you have a full line of people in the store, and kick and scream when you don't give them what they want 100% of the time.

Guess which one I deal with more?

My wife and I are gonna start trying in May... still a little freaked out about it, but not as much as I used to be.

However, I get to raise a kid in the city. Screw the suburbs.

Glad you are giving a possible son a normal name. Some of the names that I see people giving kids today are $:-\$

White people are entering into Shaniqua levels of naming babies.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2010, 03:33:46 PM »

My middle name is my dad's name. My wife wanted to continue that tradition, but then our kid would be Jack Nicolas... all I'd ever think of is the golfer.

from what I understand, kids are mostly worth it for the long term

from baby to whatever age they aren't just crying, eating and pooping, it seems miserable. Then there is a cool period where you can you get away with playing Mario Kart and watching Disney films, playing catch and all that shit. Teenage years would be a nightmare. When they become slightly better in the 20s, they'll hopefully be independent and you don't deal with them until the holidays and whatnot (by this time you've probably aged at four times the normal rate). You're now depressed and have nothing to do because for a huge chunk of your adult life you were just providing for another person. Finally when you're really old, the kid finally pays off. Your best days will be having their kids over and playing Kinect Kart and watching Dreamworks films. And that's maybe the best case scenario.

Diunx do you plan to look after your parents when they get old?

To me it's too much responsibility. The other thing is my life philospophy (so far) is anything you can walk away from is good thing. You can walk away from marriage but you shouldn't walk away from your children.

Raising a kid gives you something to brag about. It's hard to gauge the value of that and there's no real point trying since you can't know how hard it is raise a kid unless you already have one in which case you'd never admit your own failures.

All three of those names were mentioned in Freakonomics. According to that book, "Shithead" is pronounced "Shuh-teed"

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #43 on:** November 03, 2010, 09:08:45 PM »

I've met two people who say that they know somebody who has named their child K-a (pronounced Kadasha). That has to be an urban myth.

Usually it's girl's names where y replaces 'i' for instance Alice becomes Alyce or the name is an almagam of two names for instance Alice and Tanya becomes Alitanya or something.

I don't know diux when you have kids would you still be able to do ittime and money wise? I mean I doubt you're kids would look after you the way you expect them to do since it's culturally ingrained in us and the world is becoming more westernised.

I've heard several people swear on the orangejello/lemonjello names, and it's always that they heard it through someone else they trust but didn't see it themselves. One is a good friend and now all these others have said the same thing, she's convinced it's a sick joke, either fake or not.

Anyone with a kid named Neveah should be shot. It actually may have been a name at one point, I forget the nationality, but it was super rare, but now... smh
