Why are you worried about it if both of y'all are so anti-kids?

Doesn't sound like you have much to worry about. You don't have to understand it.

perpetuation of yourself, your family name, and your family line

Producing and raising a worthwhile or even invaluable member of society

Hot Damn you sound like a miserable frick! Honestly.
There is a secret here and it's whats so ironic about having kids, you will NEVER KNOW the Pros until you have one.

So if you really want to know what the Pros are, have one, until then STFU because you have no clue.

Lastly, based on your post, you don't deserve kids because you aren't capable of handling them and being the man you NEED to be a father. Congrats on being mediocre at best.

Anyone who compares a fricking dog to what its like to have children is ignorant.

Kids aren't for everyone and that is perfectly ok.

They can be super annoying, but when your two year old says hi and gives you a big hug it will melt your heart.

If you both don't want to have kids, then don't have kids.
It's not that complicated.

You and your wife sound WAY too selfish to have kids. In fact, if that doesn’t change, you’ll be divorced soon anyway.

Sounds like you shouldn’t have kids. Lots of people are probably too selfish to do so and you’d likely be a shite parent.

Also the “I call BS on a kids love but yeah this dog is the greatest ever” is extremely played out. It’s a fricking dog it would love a suicide bomber or serial killer if they fed it and gave it a scratch behind the ears every once in a while.

It’s better you go through the list now and come to a decision that is best for you as opposed to just churning out kids like many do because they feel like it is just what you are supposed to do as you get older.

You're correct, a-hole. Nobody should ever have kids. Let's see how that works out for the world.

True

quote:

Annoying



Depends. My 8 year old is awesome. His 5 year old brother is annoying sometimes just like the 8 year old used to be. Im sure he'll grow out of it too

quote:

They smell



And dogs dont?

quote:

They constantly break and ruin things



Maybe as toddlers, but if you're kids keep doing this as they age, then you fricked up raising them.

quote:

Huge burden on your life

And a dog isnt?

quote:

Extremely risky that they will make a huge mistake later in life and you are left to deal with the mess.

Gotcha, so you're a coward that's recognizing you'd be a shitty parent and have shitty kids.

quote:

High pitched screams in public

They grow out of this fairly quickly and only complete heartless assholes like yourself think bad thoughts about a crying baby.

quote:

Temper tantrums

Again, they either grow out of this or dont, depending on how shitty a parent you are

quote:

Can potentially be the reason you and your S/O get a divorce

This is bullshite. You were getting a divorce no matter what. Kids bring couples who love each other closer together. If you're worried that you and your wife might get a divorce because you have a kid, then you're likely getting a divorce anyway.

quote:

You can forget about any kind of travel alone

Wife and I take a week-long trip just the two of us every year and a couple long weekends just the two of us. We also take a week long trip with the kids every year and a couple long weekend trips

quote:

They are on the payroll for at least 25 years

If you raise your kids properly that number can decrease substantially.

quote:

Destroys wife's body for good

You're right on this one.

quote:

Lack of sleep

Its a phase that they eventually get through

quote:

Dirty diapers

Absolutely suck, but again, if you're kid is shitting in diapers at 15, thats on you, not him.

quote:

No more hobby's other than kids hobby's

My sons and I watch football together, play golf together, go camping, watch movies together, go to LSU games. Hell I've probably got more hobbies now than I ever did because I'm trying to expose them to tons of stuff.

quote:

Daycare
School cost
College
Vehicles
Insurance
Doctors visits
Oh, and did I mention how expensive they are?


Yes, these things are all very expensive, but you make sacrifices in life for the people that you love

Also, evolution has programmed women to want to have the child of the partner they see as strong, smart, protective, attractive, etc...

If I were you I'd be worried that your wife doesn't want to carry your child.

quote:

when we see a child we cringe and run the other direction


On second thought, don't procreate.

The pure love that you have for your children overcomes any con on your list. You can't truly understand that unless you have one. You sound like an extremely selfish person who isn't even close to being ready to have one, if you choose that route, so please don't.
