I think every prospective parent (man and woman) should take home one of those little robot babies for a couple of weeks just to make sure they can handle it.
Are those little electronic babies the best thing since sliced bread of what?!! In the high-school here, the teenagers take this course in grade 11. They have to carry around those "babies" every where they go and feed them at certain times etc...I think it should start say in grade 7 or so, as this is when a lot of teenagers become sexually active (sad to say..but is a fact). There would more than likely, be a lot less teenage pregnancy, if the children were demonstrated how much time and money goes into raising a child.  | |

Posted: 8/28/2005 4:06:54 PM | As Jerry Seinfeld warned recently, "Kids are here for one reason...to replace us!"
He's right. This is the greatest threat to our civilization since communism. And they have every intention of taking over.
I say we settle this now.
If we band together, Catholics and non-Catholics, we might be able to stop them. Who's with me? | |

Afraid not...still being taught in some churches. Many believe that they should have a biological son to "carry on the family name". | |

Posted: 8/28/2005 7:18:27 PM | Well, even being someone who doesn't want kids, I do see the value of the continuation of the species due to the biological imperative to procreate. I mean, I am not anti-child. I just don't want any of my own. I'm glad not everyone feels the way I do.

Posted: 8/28/2005 7:26:09 PM | | I don't know what's so puzzling about it. I do have a daughter (got pregnant when I was very young) and, while I love her dearly, I absolutely do NOT want any more and, if I had to do my life over again, I would choose not to have children at all. (Do NOT misconstrue this to mean that I don't love my daughter, because I do, and very much so.) YOUR most primal instinct might be to procreate; mine is to maintain my peace of mind. And having a bunch of rug rats around is detrimental to that. | |

Posted: 8/29/2005 12:17:55 AM | I think it's sad really. children are such a joy in life. I don't want twenty. I've lost my kids to divorce. (in Europe)
It's sort of like seeing the world through new eyes. fresh.
I'd like to have that again. BUT it's also these days a fianance thing. sadly enough
Should be out of love really. | |

Posted: 8/29/2005 4:45:16 AM | Personally I find it very sad that it is still so difficult for so many people to understand that there are those of us that just don't have that overwhelming urge to procreate. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. My nephews and my niece are wonderful little beings. I just don't want any of my own.
I get asked a LOT why I don't want children. Apparently as a woman it is supposed to be ingrained in my make-up to want to have a child. Maybe I am wired wrong.. who knows. But here is how I look at it.
If I am mature enough to recognize that I am not the type of person that would make a good parent (even if most my friends disagree), that raising a child is not something I want to do, then I feel I should be congratulated (as well as others that feel the same way I do) instead of having to contiually justify my decision. There are too many children that are brought into this world without thought. Too many people that have children that don't understand the commitment, the work, and what exactly being a parent means. And often times it is the children that suffer in the end.
If it makes me selfish because I choose not to have children, then so be it. I can handle that. I would rather be seen as selfish, then make a decision that negatively would affect the life of a child in too manys ways.
If you have an overwhelming urge to have children that great! But respect the fact that not everyone feels that way. You don't have to understand it, just like you don't have to understand all kinds of other lifestyle choices, you merely have to respect it.

Yeah I saw those little robot babies on some talk show a long time back. They were doing on show on teens trying to get pregnant. They sent these little robot babies back with them for - I think it was a week. By the end of the show EVERY single one of those teens said they ABSOLUTELY were not ready for a child. I thought it was great!
My ultimate goal is to have some of my own, as well as adopt some. One of my brothers adopted, and is currently working toward being a foster parent. I'm learning a lot through his experiences. The only thing that worries me about adopting is you never really know what genetics the child comes from. So when a doctor asks for a family history, you really can't give them much info. But that's not enough to stop me! | |

Posted: 8/29/2005 5:10:30 AM | Financial consideration wasn't the reason I chose not to have children. They are a huge emotional, physical and time investment. I have other things that I want to do with my life. I don't need children to complete me.
