Good point.

But celebrities' jobs keep them so busy I don't think they should have kids.

How do they have the time to be a parent?

How can you have a normal life when you go through life with that label from a young age?
Most celebrities' children go to school with other celebrities' children.

Despite your uneducated opinion, most manage to parent as successfully as those parents who don't have celebrity status. I guess if your knowledge on the subject is derived from tabloids which regularly chronicle the misadventures of SOME celebrity children you can be forgiven for having reached such a conclusion.

If they can afford such a private school like that. Some celebrities are famous but not rich.

All I'm saying is if I was on the road 300 days a year, it would be hard for me to be a parent. Hell, it would be hard enough for me to be a parent as it is.

Especially with the lack of sexual intercourse...

I know someone that used to go to the same school as Erik per Sullivan (Dewey on Malcolm in the Middle). Not all celebrity children go to a special school for celebrity children.

Erik per Sullivan's parents also own a Mexican restaurant that I've been to (good food).

IMO its a choice we make as individuals whether or not to have kids or not. But to rule out the possibility at 19 is not a very open minded stance.

It's highly unlikely that you will ever reach celebrity status. You obviously have no concept of what hours celebrities work in any sphere. You have already decided not to either marry, have sex or children so what's your point? Your uneducated opinion is irrelevant.

Yes!

I only wish I could have more, but I'm getting on in years. My wife made us wait far too long to have a child.

Actually, I've heard a celebrity say on an interview he had to leave his band because he became a father and he couldn't be a father if he was on the road touring 300 days a year.

And I've heard bands say they spend 12 hours a day in the studio when they're recording.

And a lot of celebrities say they miss their family, friends, and being home.

I may not be a real celebrity, but I'm a city data celebrity. And you never know what the future holds. Don't write off the possibility of me being a celebrity someday.

I've been ruling out the possibility since I was 14. And I think the closed minded people are the people who can't accept the fact that a young person made a decision and they tell said young person he should/will change his mind.
