Would your life be more fulfilled if you had children? - Click HERE for Original Thread

REFLUX
Or for those who already have children:
Do you feel that your life is more fulfilling now that you have children?

:blink: If i had a kid right now that would EFFING suck hard ass . that would be like dropping a nuke on my life. Or the ice berg that sank the titanic .

iam depressed now even thinking about it you are crazy terry!
but thats just me lol

STiPWR
Not that having kids should be a decision made in attempt to "fulfill" your own life, but if you are financially and mentally prepared for kids, I do think that they will make your personal life more "fulfilled"

BUT........If you bang a whore in some alley on 118th and she sends you a letter for child support.... I think your life will be pretty fucking miserable.

Are you looking at have mini post whores of your own Terry?
I would love to have kids, but right now I am not financially ready. Plus I have to find the right girl not some random whore.

alright if i wanted to fullfill my life children would definetly not be the answer. espically not right now.. if i were to fullfill my life it would be living on the beach somewhere rolling in my rs4. Kids would just make that impossible. i would have no money for the car. definetly dont want to have a baby seat in it.. The beach maybe not so bad.. chicks to dig little kids.. other than that i dont beleive having children would fullfill my life.. Maybe when im ready though. who knows.. tough question to anwser until u actually have them. who knows maybe you will hate the little bastards.

I've been wanting to have some kids of my own for a long time ever since I discovered that I seem to enjoy being around them, and they seem to like me. All my friends that have kids always comment on how good of a father i would be, and I'm just itching to have a chance to do better than all these retards that are pumping out kids by the dozen and dropping them off at the ghetto daycare so they can learn to be losers like their fathers.

I have a son that just turned one. And while a child is great and gives you a feeling I don't think you can get from anywhere else, I totally don't think someone should be having them thinking it will magically make their lives better.

I definitely miss parts of my life from before we had the baby, but that is not to say that I am not happy now. But things are definitely different.

As the father of a 4 1/2 boy, I could't have said it better myself.

I absolutely despise kids. I've got a 2 year old niece and everyone said that would change my mind about littl'uns, but it didn't. Not a bit.

arabian_ryda
it all depends on age. if there young like under 14 then no it would suck but the older kids yes i would. haha they could run my business and id retire early

14+ is the worst age.

You got to deal with a lot more shit.

euro777
only if they made more money than me:lol:

At the right time I would say yes. Right now I would feel like its a death wish...but someday I do want children. Whats the point of life if you can't have a family and all that?

Terry,

I believe you can not be fully complete unless you are truely happy with your self and happy from with in. I realize it just sounds like some verbal diarrhea that dr.phil would spew out, but it is true.

Myself, having kids will not make me fell more complete than what I already am.

true. Being 20 and watching my little sister at 13 it makes me never want to deal with the crap that a teenager puts parents through but its just a stage. for most people at least.

i'm pretty sure that all kids give there parents greif at some point, but it can be all diffrent levels or ages, like 14 for some kids depending on how there raised could be great other kids start being little shits at that age because of they examples they have followed all there life. i'm just going to say it even though its an opinion but alot of things come down to how you were raised, because some religious family will pump out a way diffrent kid that a mom that had a kid at 15 years old.

The first thing you have to ask yourself if you have patience. Because if you do not then don't even think about it. My sister is 14 and like Prudz_lude said its retarded how they can act. It is a phase but one I would like to not have to deal with.

I had my little boy when I was only 21, It completly changed everything in my life (was into clubbing/booze/drugs-nothing hard).

Now I cant even imagine what kind of mess I would be if I never had him. I also dont think I was ever as happy before I had him . I completly belive now that without kids a man isnt fully complete.

Im sure people without kids wont get it ( I know I wouldnt), but everytime I come home and my boy says "hi Daddy" and gives me a hug im the happiest person alive.

*note* I am aware how corny that sounds but its the truth.

Prudz_lude
at this point not at all. In the future yes.

Having kids is the reason why I'm home at 10:30 on a friday night. Building forts out of couch cushions, coloring, and watching Toopy and Binoo. And I wouldnt trade evenings with any one of you.

i believe whoever feels that they require children to make their life complete has skewed perceptions or an unfulfilling life to begin with.

note, i have helped raised children, so i do know both sides of the argument..

This is actually a difficult question. Personally, I think that as long as one doesn't have kids for the sole purpose of achieving a sense of fulfillment - that it will enhance their life. I think it would be hazardous to acquire a sense of fulfillment from only one vice (be it kids, hobbies, jobs, accomplishments, etc). It is a combination of these things that put your life in perspective.

Those who do not have children or have no interesting in having them would be inclined to say no. Those who have children or want to have kids would usually say yes.

Most younger people (not all) would immediately say that kids would cramp their style. And it would. Maybe they haven't chalked up enough life experience or aren't at the stage to be considered prepared enough to have kids. Basically anybody who says no, wouldn't know until they had them.

On the whole, just about everybody I know said no until they had kids themselves. Now they can't imagine life without them, or will shake their heads or scoff in disbelief at the way they used to think. My thoughts are in line with this philosophy (no, I don't have kids).

My 2 bucks.

X2 man same situation.crazy.and for input, i voted no.

Yes having kids changes your whole outlook on life. All of a sudden they are your priority and everything else takes a back seat. I love hanging out with my son and playing hide and seak, wrestling and just holding him in general. My daughter is too young yet to toss around like my son but I love bonding with her as well. And no I'm not posting pics of her you sick bastards!!!
