Do you think men would like to stay child free for life? (jealous, sexy)

[kronenborg]

i actually said i sort of knew. in the same way that i sort of knew that one day i would graduate, get a job, buy a house, get married etc

i'd never really spent a great deal of time dwelling on whether i really wanted to be a parent until i started having serious conversations about it whether we should start a family. i had lived over 30 years of my life before then.

if i knew then what i know now, i would have been 100% certain i would would want to be a parent.

True, but at least they're easier to stop. You can't just say to a 6 month old baby "please stop crying" and he or she will.

You have a lot to learn about people

Heh, asking college kids to stop being obnoxious will likely just make them louder after they tell you to F off.

Haha, yes you're probably right!!

I guess what I meant is although they may not abide by them, college kids can at least acknowledge rules, whereas a 6 month old cannot.

I agree. And unfortunately, it's the idiot parents that create the horrible behavior in the first place. We took our son everywhere when he was a baby, even out to a nice restaurant occasionally, with no problems. Never would I tolerate having a screaming child somewhere like that. If he had pitched a fit (which would have been very out of character for him) I would have taken him and left the establishment.

That's called projecting.

It would be "projecting" if I was nurturing--but I'm not.
