Which is worse... finding out your wife cheated on you because you now have an STD... or she comes home pregnant and you know it's not yours because you're sterile?
The STD one would be worse.
In the case of the pregnancy and sterility you get to go on Maury and dance when he says you are NOT the father.

One vasectomy later and we are child free by choice for life /cheer!
Being childfree is a perfectly valid and great choice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! ^^
(The video starts off with a horror story about a different video on atheism, but it gets to the point of children eventually. I promise!)

I'm not trying to bust your balls, I have just heard that so many times I want to go punch a random stranger....
My friend had her first kid at 44. Things change, plans change, ideas change, vasectomies get reversed....

Headstrong do you really want to be one of those people../points at balliegrace
cheering about being child free...like it's some kind of accomplishment? Well then in your case it's probably a good idea. no offense.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news...wait, yes I do.. but there is a reason nobody "gets" that "child free is the way to be" point of view, because it's idiotic!
Having kids is a natural part of life. The desire to mutilate your own genitalia to avoid it on purpose is probably the all time ....
wait Darwin is interrupting me by putting his hand on my arm and shaking his head "no"
Maybe?
Unless you know....a man is genetically predisposed to a condition he doesn't want to pass on.
or....the wife finds out she couldn't conceive naturally if she wanted to...
Or...maybe the husband has children from a prior marriage that he has crippling child support bills to pay for...
I don't judge people for wanting or having children and I don't pay much attention to those who make accusations as to why I don't have them myself.

I know i wouldn't make a good mother, i honestly wish more people would think about it before they have children.

Yeah I agree with this... I can't believe someone just referred to you as "one of those people" lmao. To be honest, I can't see myself having kids either. There's too much I want to accomplish in my own life, and if I ever did consider a family, I'd be the adopting type.

The husband and I would love to do foster care/adopt but it is difficult when one is in the Military :\

I was all set to get a vasectomy. Kids follow finding my wife, which is proving to be very difficult.
Having said that, kids are shitheads. I'm told your own kids are different, but I'm sceptical.

STD is with you for life man...
That's exactly what I meant dude. The first is worse because you get an STD so if I had to choose I'd choose the second option because I could walk away without a "gift" from her.

You seem to pay enough attention to respond ^^ It has nothing to do with paying special attention to one post over another. Post about kittens or tacos or drinks and I will pay attention as well.
If you can't conceive naturally...you can do IVF. You make the choice.
If you have children from a prior marriage, the wife makes the choice to have step kids. It's still a choice.
For us? Our reasons for not having children currently were determined by us and outside agencies.
Later on, if we make the choice, outside agencies may make it a reality.

I'm glad it's proving difficult, because you are a perfectly fine gent which means that it's not difficult for lack of women. It's difficult because you are picky. And when choosing a life mate, you SHOULD be picky. ^^
I'm slightly skeptical that my own kids won't drive me nuts too, and sometimes I wonder if I'm ready. I like the thought of being pregnant, I hate the thought of labor. I like the thought of a newborn, I hate the thought of anyone 2 years and older. And I'm happy how I am, I don't yearn for a child.
In fact, the main reason that I am now interested in children is because my husband's grandmother loved kids and wanted so badly to have great-grandchildren, and she was killed before she got that chance. So now I'm more worried about "how many more people who I love are going to die before they meet my kids because I'm stalling" than "I want kids." And frankly, to be honest, it's a bad reason for me to want kids.
Well, we'll see, I'm concerned that if I stall too long I'll be too old by the time I decide. hard decisions are hard!

IVF costs money... money the couple might not have... it's also not 100%... when anything goes beyond natural birth it becomes about more than just "do we want kids"
if you get married to someone with kids whether you adopt them or not there is a very good likely hood that those kids will be in your life whether you adopt them or not... Choosing to have another kid also goes into something more than just "do we want to have kids" it's complicated because one party already does and well they may not want more and might be a thing that the other spouse has to choose to accept or move on....
You're getting into things though that go beyond natural conception and moving into adoption... so it's not really do we want to have our own kids then but rather do we want kids at all... which then contraception and vasectomies and tubes being tied play only part of the role...
I was just commenting that while you say you don't pay much attention to those that do what you perceive Nik did that you do enough to at least respond to them...

Anyone else ever get that awkward moment between you and someone else about a MMO or video game?
The one big thing that happened was Final Fantasy X.
Dated a girl that only did the bare minimal in each level and the battles were getting hard for her and she was getting mad. So one night I stayed in one area in the game and got tons of those spheres and level the characters a bit.
Woke up to that awkward pause, geez it wasn't like I was cheating with someone.
Then months later, one friend of mine was doing the same thing, so I leveled up his characters, didn't care one bit.
The Bro code, power leveling friends shows you care.
xD If someone leveled my characters up when I didn't want them leveled I'd me mad too :<

I know i wouldn't make a good mother, i honestly wish more people would think about it before they have children.
As much as Heado says she hates people, she's admitted once that I can think of, that she has a soft spot for some kids. I think it was around Christmas this year or last year when we were talking about buying gifts for kids. She was tinkering with the idea of buying a few odds and ends for a few kids. Maybe that's where she finds her fulfillment in regards to the kiddos, and that's fine.
I've been goofing off with Heado for a year or so (well, a lot less lately), but she's never given me any indication that she would not be capable if she actually wanted to have a kid.
I do agree with you that sometimes it clicks a little later. Guess who said she didn't want to have kids when she was doing the hippy-dippy thing while hanging out with a trustafarian clan in college?

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
