If you are worried about the financial and social burdens of having a kid, you aren't fit to be a parent.
I think people should not have children if they can't afford them. Just because you got pregnant accidentally does not mean you can afford a child or are fit to be a parent.
Telling people that they forcibly cannot have children, for whatever reason (whether financial or genetic), seems to me as being very close to eugenics...in other words, not a good thing at all, and in fact, very insidious...

You can weigh in the pro and con or facts to the cows come home. Things happen. Everyone needs to look at their own family who had them. They made it work. And people say well I'm not my mom or dad. Right they are. It's your choice no one's but yours.
That is just dumb. I am not saying that someone who does not want kids is going to necessarily be a bad parent. The lack of desire may impact the effort that goes in. But who knows. But comparing a dog or part time interactions with friends' children with parenting is idiotic. I love my facebook friends who complain that they had to stay home from work with their sick dog and complain that their work won't let them take a sick day because their employee handbook uses the word family. Shmookums IS my family. Oy.
I'm not going to spend an hour telling you everything I know about the man, okay? I've known him for several years, and I know enough about him to suspect that he would be not just good...but an excellent parent. He's not a complete wacko dog-freak either...like plenty of other people I know. Those people I have no tolerance for either. Dogs are just pets - my kid is my family.

The thought of being a mom has never scared me the way the thought of being a wife has. That's why i chose to be a mom, but not a wife. It not necessary to do both anymore. Actually in my case, it's probably best that i didn't do both.
People who have children intentionally are selfish people. They're willing to expose a human to all the horror on the world just so they can feel fulfilled and have someone to care for them when they're old, can't stand people like that. If you want kids, be a decent human and adopt
We get them on the Parenting board. They come in waves. Someone pops in to resurrect a thread or open a new one about how kids are noisy and how being around screaming brats all the time must be such a drag. There are the typical accusations made back and forth about brainwashing, who's more selfish, that each camp is secretly envious of the other, and so on.
It's a very frequent topic.
Exactly.
We should merge all of them with the threads about whether or not tattoos are hideous, how overweight women are jealous of thin women, and how none of them give short men the time of day, and let them fester in their collective cesspool of snooze-worthy predictability.

Because adopted children certainly are immune to exposure to the horrors of the world, and never expected to care for aging parents.

Interesting...I find the prospect of being a wife FAR less intimidating than the prospect of being a parent.
