Just play roulette. Stop the BC and go about your lives for a few years. If kids happen, they happen. If not, get fixed and start shopping for your beach house.

I’m 34 and having another one doesn’t appease me much. I really like where the 3 of us are now. 
Starting over with diapers and formula and stuff is no fun.

My wife and I always planned on having 1. We had a girl and I'm the last male on my dad's side so I told him that branch of the family name ends with me. No way I'd want to have another one at 40 with an 11 year age gap between them.

Once you are financially stable, the decision will be easy. I cannot imagined having my kids in my 20s. I was quite an idiot.

You have no influence over this decision. Wife makes it.

Being a father of 16 month old twins, I can promise you that you won’t regret having kids. If you choose to not have kids, I’d be willing to bet there’s a greater than 50% chance you will regret it.

We did and so was I. Talk about something that will straighten your arse up quickly.

I know if I had kids I wouldn't regret it, but it's not high on my priority list. I really want to save money and travel and if I have kids I know that will never happen.

28 isn’t that old man. Y’all still have time. If you aren’t sure, don’t do it yet.


If/when you have kids you absolutely won’t regret it.

Yeah, but I'm against murder, so it's kids for me.

You don’t need anyone’s advice on this. You’ll figure it out.

You’d regret it later on. Plus you would lose most or all of your friends to kids. So you’d probably be pretty lonely, or always having to make new or younger friends

I always said I’d never have kids, especially step kids. At 38 I married a woman with 2 boys. At 39, I had my first and only child. How wrong I was. Love the stepsons like they’re my own. Love my 9 year old like you can’t imagine. I was told this once and now I know it’s true. You really don’t know what Love is until you have a child.

Nope.

Maybe it's the Mercedes, the Rover, multiple boats, different woman weekly, living in a castle,.. etc, that keeps my "regrets" at bay.

I've never wanted any kids interfering with traveling allover and basically living a carefree life either.

I was married once, and that was enough for me to give a huge sigh of relief when we were divorced that kids weren't involved.

But hey, if that's what you want go for it. There's plenty of poppas in this thread who can give you tips and tricks on changing diapers.

Also, watch for having a "special" kid. That's gotta be fun.
