I've already started putting away money to pay for all the flights/hotels and tournament fees for future Brayden or Ashleigh

wise move, it will reap huge dividends when that first round signing bonus money starts raining down on you

Plus I’m not interested in going to immediately caring for a child after 7 years of Undergrad/grad school. I want to be selfish for a while

So you're open to the idea of kids in the future?

What the frick is the point of this thread then?

PS: kids fly for free the first 2 years of their life. It's great!

And now I'm curious. What specifically is on that bucket list.

I've done a lot of shite wrong in my life but one thing I've done right is not have kids. I'd be a horrible father.


I can PROMISE you that I was a frick up in my past and used to say the same shite. Then I got married and have two kids. It comes natural to you, man. You might think that now, but if it came down to it and you got a girl pregnant (wife or whoever), you'd be ok.

My wife and I decided to have kids right away and leave time later for just us. When my 4th, youngest, and last child (due in October) is 18, I'll be 48. Plenty of life left.

As other posters have said, outside of my bride, there's nothing that I look forward to more than coming home to my kids who are still at the age where they actually love seeing me come in the door. We'll see how long that lasts.

Nothing wrong with not having kids. You are, in my opinion however, missing out on one of life's more amazing joys - regardless of the exhausting first 4-7 years of their lives before they become more self-sufficient.

You don’t need to start a thread for every stray fricking thought that passes through your skull

We always try to be courteous and book in the very back of the plane. Ours has done really well on all but 1 or 2 flights.

The more we travel with him, the better he does at travel days.

I'm more interested in having kids than i am in getting married, but it seems somewhat irresponsible to do A without B.

I'm 27 with no kids currently, I feel like when I finally settle down I'll end up with like 4 of those little shits

Been saving a nest egg and I still feel like it won't be enough, idk how people in poverty just plop out kids left and right. It's always on my mind if I'll be able to provide for my child.

I know I would be but it's a scary proposition to me. I have a few nieces and nephews that live next door, I can bring them hunting/fishing etc and then when it is time to feed them somebody else pays for that lol

I'd much rather seat near an infant on a plane than a 4 or 5 year old kid.

Especially after having had a shitty day at work. Or better yet, hearing them say funny stuff that cracks you and your wife up. The holidays are fun again. Seeing your little boy get his first hit in coaches pitch baseball. Your little girl in her first dance recital. You can't buy anything that surpasses those feelings.

The idea of being married without kids is very strange. Idk why anyone would do that

You were in grade school when you first starting posting picture of you and the Dutches of York.
