Didn't read through all the pages, but the best part for me was seeing a replica of me in my son and his enthusiasm growing up. Not only that, I get to change things for the better by allowing him to have things I never experienced when I was young. My son is 3 years old and I was amazed when he brought memories of trips we took when he was a lot younger and the fun part was Me trying to remember too. After you remember, you chuckle to yourself and kind of shake your head.
We never planned to have kids till a little later but it happened by coincidence, thank goodness though. Because I can't imagine coming home and not seeing him.

On another note, with immigration and the spread of Islam, in maybe 20 years Canada and it's main religion right now will be overtaken by Islamic beliefs. This is due to us having on average 1.6 or so kids and Islamic families having 7.~kids per family. I know having kids is your choice but how do you safeguard yourself and your beliefs when later down the road you are the minority to Islamic culture. It's already happening in Europe, even in the stronghold of Germany. So, I hope you guys get the bigger picture.

^ Yeah thats it, lets go blow $700k (a Canadian average) to raise EACH kid for fear of Islam, brilliant logic.
Lol, fine by me. plenty of new friends to be had, seriously, Ive met probably two dozen awesome people in the last year that share the same boat as me.... and I couldn't be happier.... Also, if my family is that disenchanted with that HUGE life decision of mine, not going "their way" I dont need them either.Originally posted by Xtrema
That's a major influence of why people have kids. Because if you don't, you will be isolated from your family and friends that do. Eventually, you won't be included in their circle and have to make new friends that made the same choice as you.
^ I know that last bit sounds cold, but Ive always been completely there for them, no matter what.. Its just how it is. For them to completely revoke me because I dont want to have kids is a pathetic insulting low blow. To which, I dont need to be a part of any further relationship.
Im just absolutely stoked my parents dont ever want grand children, because they sure as fuck aren't getting any.

Interesting read
I'm 46 and my spouse and I are expecting in December, it will be my first child. Always wanted to have children but just haven't found the right woman until now or rather 3 years ago. I know I would have regretted not having any. I also don't believe your life is over once you have a kid it's just drastically different. You can still do things and go places as you should, otherwise your child will live a sheltered life and not experience anything. I look forward to it

Not really. Like I said, having children is a personal choice but what happens when that personal choice will potential affect a nations outcome in the future. I guess what iam saying is having kids is a luxury of some sort now but when does it become a necessity later on.Originally posted by 403Gemini

OK...I'm 50 now. My kids are 16 and 14. Yes, there have been times that I say to myself "why the f&ck did I have kids?" I think that is normal to say from time to time. Same thing could be said about getting married. There have been times where I felt my kids getting out of control but they have been getting better lately. I think it is just that they are maturing and are better able to make their decisions and see the consequences of poor decisions.Originally posted by Xtrema
IMO, any question on regrets should not be answered for anyone under 55.
People rarely regret 1st year ownership of a new car.
Since most kids show here is under 10, we will revisit this thread in about 10-15 years. That's usually when kids slowly get out of your control.
Even then, I doubt anyone will admit regrets on a forum. Most of the regrets I heard is usually after a couple of beers or after major pissed off by kids event.
I have friends that never had kids. Some by choice, some not. I think the point is no matter what you decide to do just own your decision and embrace the lifestyle you choose.

Such a polarizing topic. Its so funny to see the parents vs non parents in this thread. Very few fence sitters. people on either side are getting their feelings hurt.

It is not selfish to not have kids.

But it is selfish to regret and be unhappy about having kids.
