Two is a good number.
Once you have that third kid, you can't use Travelocity to plan your vacation because most hotels/resorts/cruises are designed for a family of 4.

Puts a smile on your face when random strangers come up to you at a restaurant and compliment you on how well-behaved your kids are, don't it?

Currently, I don't have any kids, but always wanted no more than 2, however, after the cookout I went to yesterday, I was thanking my lucky stars that I don't have any (those little monsters were all over the place, literally, destroying everything and listening to no one), and made me actually think to myself if I really do want any at all. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

It takes LOTS of patience, let me tell you. I only have one but lately I have seen why ppl have more than one. I have to be a sibling, playmate and mommy. That being said, I am not having anymore, I am over 40 and I do not have the energy. I see why ppl have kids when they are young.
Now, 30 damn kids, that man needs a hobby. One that does not involve having sex!

Puts an even bigger smile when my older sister is forced to admit I am a good mother to my kids.
Everyone used to complain about my sister's kids and she would always try to dump them on everyone she knew.

This.
Having children and paying someone else to care for them is unethical, in my opinion. It's one thing to find yourself in a an undesirable situation and give a child up for adoption, it's quite another to willfully choose to make babies you have no intention to care for, even if you give money away for it to happen. |

It is great when others appreciate and recognise your hard work. My sons school tells me all of the time how good he is all day and how he is a pleasure to have around. I usually check to make sure they realise which boy is mine in the class. Ha! Got to have a sense of humour when you are a parent. | |

So much hate for children on this damn thread.
Any man would love to be able to fuck that many women. And if he manages to have children from these unions, it means he's reproductively fit. But really, many couldn't care less for the consequences of their actions.
And you'd be surprised that as much as 60% of college aged men don't even use condoms. So...they're not either scared of producing children...nor are they scared of getting an STI.
Children are NOT supposed to be mistakes or nuissances. They should to come into a home full of love and preferably should be planned. At least one person needs to take responsibility to make sure those children are raised well. That man who fathered all those kids doesn't care. Their mothers apparently were nothing more than disposable pleasures. And the women are no better to let themselves be used in such a way.
Speaking as a woman...I'm not one of a harem of women. I'm a one man type of woman and he better be exclusive solely to me. Whatever children we have will be ours and we'll raised them together. That's me.. [Edited 5/30/12 8:09am] The salvation of man is through love and in love. - Dr. V. Frankl

I would love to fuck ten times that many women if it was 100% guaranteed I would catch no diseases or create any offspring. Fuck a children!
I do, in fact, hate them. Not one child, including my relatives, has ever brought any kind of joy into my life. As my niece and nephew are approaching adulthood, I'm starting to think they're pretty cool, though.
I've said this MANY TIMES over the years; some people are not meant to have children and the world would be a FAR better place if they could figure that out BEFORE they started producing them. Some people are better at other things and they should focus their time and energy in those places. Some people feel perfectly "complete" without spreading their seed around, or getting married, or complying with whatever other social conventions society feels they need to take part in.

Hmm no one hates children... I hate folks who think having a bundle of kids is cool then running off not taking care of them being irresponsible. "But that's just me."
Raising children is a 9 to 5, 24/7 job. Believe me, my mother raised seven children (two of which were her own) and she had some problems with some of the eldest children. It's not as beautiful or ugly as it may seem.
I don't know why it seems like you're championing assholes fucking women just to have kids. Or at least that's how it seems to me. If it's not, my apologies.

Plus I guess I can't be surprised that some folks have the attitude that if a man has that many kids, good for him (uh what?)
Yeah... but what about THE MONEY!?
Money... support...

Shit there's too many stories of folks leaving babies out in fucking cars leaving them to steam to death, there's some who leave children out to do any damn thing and then end up dying, you got mothers (and fathers) dealing with kids who are autistic, or are preemies, or become mentally handicapped and it's nothing but stress. Then you have those who just have kids just to have them and then, in trying to PLEASE THEM (believe me I was one of those kids), they'll buy the kid all the toys they think they want or the clothes they want or the games they want. You got parents spending $150 to buy someone a game set for Christmas, the VERY next month after getting it, they've stopped playing it because it was "boring". Some deal with it alright while others forego paying their own bills just so they can give their 12-year-old son some new Jordan's that cause $750. | |

Some are just shit, abusive, asshole parents. They get by well enough that nobody notices, but just barely. Trust that I speak from experience - it runs in my family. | |

My cousins, some of them started having children as SOON as they got to 18 or so. One of my elder cousins has five children (with three different women, including one who was still in school) and half the time they leave them off to their mama's house or their sister's house. And the kids run amok around the house. Sure they get discipline but for some, discipline wasn't enough. Ironically enough one of my cousin's kids started having children recently and he now works two jobs to take care of them with his girlfriend and the mother of those kids (they're not married) but they still live with his mother. I can't imagine doing that especially when it's already hard enough that you were once a child and sometimes you see things that make you go "man that ain't ever gonna happen to me." I don't think I'll ever have children anyways because as fucked up as the world is, why would I allow them to see it even though I know I would raise them the best of my ability (because that's what a person is SUPPOSED to do) but it'll be too much. They sure weren't asked to be brought here so why would I do that? | |

Yep!
However, for me it started before that. I basically raised my sister and did a terrible fucking job of it, evidently.
I'm not really one to talk about my personal life too much, but all of the above is stuff I've said before. So no big there. I will say that when I got to be about 17 and my friends from age 16-19 were already having kids I was freaked the fuck out! It just made no damn sense to me. None of them were ready, they were all shit parents and, as you say, most of them ended up dumping their kids on their parents for the first few years of their lives. Then, when my sister got pregnant at 17, I just about lost it
Anyway, all that is what it is, and I'd be stupid to say that my upbringing and experiences with friends having kids didn't shape my own decision. But it was also something more than that. I just KNEW, deep down in the core of my being, that I was not supposed to be responsible for another life. I was at peace with it much sooner than the world around me. I still get surprised reactions from people when I tell them I've never been married or had kids. People still ask if I'm gay... and then I fuck their girlfriends.
Some people are not meant to have kids. They are destined for other purposes, they have something else to contribute to the world. It's just unfortunate, and to me unfathomable, that somebody would look at a guy whose had 30 kids and think it would be OK if he was taking care of them, but think something is wrong with me because I don't want anyway.

Right. And then when they end up having a child with said man and he up and bounces got a nerve to act upset because the man left someone with a child and yell up and down the street that "the no good idiot need to see his baby and pay me my money." It's like "well didn't you diss me for not wanting kids? Don't get mad at just the guy, look in the mirror!" | |
