Oddly, handguns are relatively safe in homes without children!Children are like handguns. Fine for other people, but I don't want one in my house.

Handguns, actually any gun are also rather good for getting rid of children. Wait, did I say that.Oddly, handguns are relatively safe in homes without children!
I don't have any video handy and I do have one friend who is happily (most of the time) married...Let's see the never-married-with-no-kids version of this video. Would it be more spectacular?
I've seen more old people than I can count who are stashed away in a retirement home who seen the kids/grand-kids for a couple of hours a year at christmas and birthday time. It was quite shocking to me, but this represents a huge majority of the residents (I was told by a worker around 80%). Having kids so you can be taken care of when you're older is a myth.I got to know an old lady in her 80s who had more kids and grandkids than
she can remember. She had her homecare helper came in 2 times a week to
bath her and the other one 3 times to make her dinner. She must have been
grateful for the company of these helpers whom she has seen way more
often than any of her kids. 40 years from now it will be the weekly
outcall health care service that will keep my company.
Our society is a lot less family-oriented than it has been in the past and that's a product of our own advancements. Children grow up in families where both parents work and are physically and mentally drained by day's end. Few adults can spare the time they wish for their parents, or can't enjoy the time with them because they're so drained. Frankly, our society is about getting as much as we can as soon as we can and putting ourselves through misery to achieve it. Who has time for family...?I've seen more old people than I can count who are stashed away in a retirement home who seen the kids/grand-kids for a couple of hours a year at christmas and birthday time.

The farther I get in life, the more I think of marriage and children as a burden I don't want. It's just not as important to as when I was younger. That said, for the right person, I'd drop my lifestyle for her and maybe even spawn a few rugrats.
I would not have felt a thing, much like those dozens of my mothers unused eggs and billions of my fathers unused sperm.Gee wonder how you would feel if your parents didn't HAVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel the same way.I never want kids,mine or some elses kids.I might be open to common law,but would be very cautious.Are there many of us here? I've never wanted children, and never been much of a long term relationship guy. I am very skeptical of marriage, and am very scared of the woman taking half my money/home. I often work very long hours, out of town at times, and that is not conducive to a successful marriage either. I work hard to make my 6 figures, and I know I don't want some woman blowing my money. I don't like spending all my time with a woman either... I need my space. I don't mind spending a night at a woman's place, or vice versa, but the next day I want to do my own thing. I can be in a monogamous relationship (which I think is somewhat stupid too), but I just don't want to live together, get married, or most of all have children. Am I crazy/neurotic? Trapped in adolescence? Or am I smart for wanting to live like this?
+1...hobbies are so impotant in anyones live,married or not.I enjoy golf,woodworking,bike riding.Keeping active and occupied keeps your mind off be single.I'm single-childless and happy. You gotta travel and meet people and do new things.
Put that money aside for child care and take nice vacations.
I went to Washington DC for 5 days and then took Megabus straight to Toronto for 3 nights. I had a blast, yeah the first week back suck but it was fun while it last.
Get hobbies--not just hobbying--become a Best Buy freak.
Hit the beach and go jet skiing...I got a hot rod car for summer fun but Mich driving laws are cooler--I be without a license in Ontario, lol
You need to budget more time to have fun. Become a SC regular--but change what you do every so often..
Buy a new bed also, the more comfy you are it helps.
No, your not alone. Being single isn't viewed so bad by some of us--when I think of some of my neighbors wifes, it helps me out big time.
I hope never to father or raise any kids, don't see the point. Its work as far I care and if they get harmed, your butt is hung.
Something like this?If I was rich and could have a caretaker and send my kids to private schools and let them travel and bring them up very nicely and not much work on my end, then sure having kids could be great.
