WTF Stories of the Week

[Capt Jack]

I can totally relate to that. I was married for 25 years and folks would constantly ask us "dont you want kids?" we'd sort of look at each other puzzled, as neither of us seemed to understand that 'want children' phrase. I still dont. I 'want' a steak. I 'want' to get laid. I "want" all sorts of things. not one of those seems to be "I want to create another life"

however I dig kids (Im not much removed from being one myself except for actual age), get along great with em and they do seem to like me (see the previous note, as I think kids recognize their own, regardless of age)

dunno. just not a thing I ever saw or see myself doing. and while I do applaud those that have, I fully appreciate the benefits of being one who doesnt

See: another reason to not shop at Wal-Mart. They're Nazis!

I LOVE children, especially with a nice Chianti.

But seriously: I see no "anti-child" attitude on this board. I know that many people on this board do not have kids, but that does not make any of us "anti-child." I personally spend a fair amount of time with friends who have kids, and have no problem talking to the children themselves. One family, who currently have a ten-year-old, a seven-year-old, and a three-year-old have been our friends since before they were married (actually, we've known the wife since before she even met her now husband). We've watched the kids grow and it has been a true joy. We've been on camping trips together and will often watch after the kids while Mom and Dad and get a respite.
