Ages? Do you want to/plan on having them or not?

28, 25. Not sure yet. If we do, not for a few more years at least.

11/15/2012 4:20:31 PM

poast

26 and 24

we're both strongly against reproducing

11/15/2012 4:26:41 PM

I am married and have no kids.

30 and 31 -- are considering the possibility of having them in the near future

11/15/2012 4:30:04 PM

Married, no kids. I'm almost 32 and she's 30. Neither one of us are sure if we want kids, so probably no.

11/15/2012 4:36:22 PM

Engaged...me 29, she 31. Will be 30, and her 32 on wedding date. She can feel the biological clock ticking and will no doubt want a kid before 35. I'm going to be pushing that date (further)...but we'll see.

I'm for kids...but I'm getting closer to being indifferent. Pretty sure I'll definitely want one (or two)...just not in the next few years.

11/15/2012 4:49:49 PM

I'm 28 and she is 27.
We plan to have one attempt. Twins are prevalent in our families, and we are not going to have 3 kids.
We agreed on kids at age 30, but there is always room for change.

We both enjoy the freedom of being able to pick up and go anywhere/do anything. Plus we like having disposable income.

11/15/2012 4:54:29 PM

27, 28

and absolutely not

11/15/2012 4:56:04 PM

28

My wife keeps getting promoted and shit so she keeps putting it off.

11/15/2012 6:11:29 PM

26 and 26. Not for a while... a long while.

11/15/2012 6:26:49 PM

29 and 29...we're planning on rugrats when my wife finishes school in a couple of years

i've always wanted kids...though sometimes i think i'd be okay not having any and just enjoying having disposable income and plenty of time to do whatever i want

11/15/2012 7:23:19 PM

Hey married people where is the best place in the Triangle area to get an engagement ring

11/15/2012 7:26:38 PM

i went to Diamonds Direct. i don't know or care enough about diamonds to know if i got a good deal or not. she was happy with it and it didn't break the bank. the folks were easy to get along with.

11/15/2012 7:30:04 PM

diamonds direct blew me off completely when they found out i was bringing in a diamond and that i just wanted the ring itself (and them to set it, of course)

the few times i got attention, they kept pushing me to buy a more expensive ring than i wanted and told me that if i couldn't afford it, they could set me up on a payment plan or some shit

ended up getting her ring at reed's and they were awesome...i actually liked jared's better (they had the same ring i wanted), but the price at reed's was much better

11/15/2012 7:32:17 PM

they don't make money on rings. they make money on diamonds, so that's not surprising.

she had already picked out what ring she wanted. diamonds direct didn't have it, but they ordered it and sold it to me at cost.

11/15/2012 7:37:06 PM

yeah, i know far more people that had a good experience with them than didn't

jared's "vault values" (if you find the perfect thing) are a stupid good deal

11/15/2012 7:39:56 PM

jared's has a good return policy
I aint married, probly won't be for a long time if ever. kids are a similar sentiment

11/15/2012 7:41:17 PM

26 and 25

we're both strongly against reproducing

11/15/2012 7:47:09 PM

we're both 27 and pretty sure we aren't having kids.

Judging from reactions we get when we tell people that we're like 99.9% sure we aren't going to have children, I would have thought we were in the minority but it doesn't look that way from this thread. Is "we're never having a kid" just something all couples in their late 20s say and then eventually change their minds?

It's already getting annoying hearing the "so when are you going to have a kid?" type questions.

11/15/2012 8:10:12 PM

i'm tired of folks laughing at me and telling me i'll change my mind or that she'll change her mind. if she changes her mind i'll be hitting the road. fuck that shit. i can buy a new boat every year for what i'd spend on a fuck trophy.

not saying that people on here have high IQs but still they must be higher than other people in NC.

11/15/2012 8:19:40 PM

yeah it's annoying. I wonder what age the "oh you'll change your mind" stops. 35? 40?

I think if you make it to late 20s still saying that, the chances get slimmer and slimmer every year.

I want to know this too. But because most everyone else agrees having kids is the right thing to do, I bet they'll just keep on asking.

This.

My wife is more opposed to it than me, so I'm gravy.

11/15/2012 8:37:18 PM

i'll at least hold a baby or play with a kid until it starts whining. she won't have anything to do with babies. it's awesome.

[Edited on November 15, 2012 at 8:43 PM. Reason : we figure we'll be a cool aunt and uncle]

11/15/2012 8:39:01 PM

So. . .who takes care of you when you're old and senile if you don't have children?

Serious question.

11/15/2012 8:58:45 PM

the huge stacks of cash i'm sitting on

11/15/2012 9:01:02 PM

*lol*

Who keeps your aide from stealing all of your fat stacks of cash right from under you?

(Trust me. It happens.)

11/15/2012 9:02:07 PM

if i can't get out of the chair and go fishing and shit i'd just as soon be dead

[Edited on November 15, 2012 at 9:03 PM. Reason : i especially don't want to burden my kids just so i can spend a few more years shitting myself]

[Edited on November 15, 2012 at 9:04 PM. Reason : that's about the lamest reason to breed]

11/15/2012 9:02:42 PM

It's not a reason to have kids, but it doesn't hurt.

11/15/2012 9:07:19 PM

26/25...will have 1, possibly 2 but not for a couple of years atleast. We will prolly be 28 or 29 before we discuss having one.

11/15/2012 9:08:16 PM

It's less likely that an aide will steal your cash than you'll give it away via a fraudulent mailing.

haha, I was about to say the same thing.

11/15/2012 9:21:06 PM

29 & 31, no kids cuz we just got hitched on the 10th.

11/15/2012 9:28:26 PM

Well, apparently, you'll have one if I wait six months.
Bitch.

28&25, were probably 3 years away

11/15/2012 9:29:38 PM

GODDAMNIT WHITE PEOPLE! Whites are the true minority worldwide and the disparity gap is growing wider by the day! Start breeding or the advanced western culture will disappear! We are being breeded out by intellectually inferior hispanics, blacks, and arabs! All advancements that have happened over the past 400 years have been due to the achievements of a white western society! Do not fall for the jew's multicultural agenda! There is nothing to be gained from race mixing and multiculturalism!

11/15/2012 9:53:10 PM

I think that's what the Quiverfull movement is for...

11/15/2012 9:54:16 PM

Both 28, and I'm happy with nephews and nieces.

11/15/2012 10:07:55 PM

^^ No damnit. it has nothing to do with retarded conservative evangelical Christians.

We need reasonable college educated people to start having larger families.

11/15/2012 10:12:19 PM

Well TWW is fairly well represented due to qntmgaggle.

11/15/2012 10:13:43 PM

Married no kids

23 and 26. We still have a longggggg time before we start thinking about little ones.

11/15/2012 10:27:55 PM

31/31 here. No plans for kids in the near future. I imagine we will probably revisit things at 34 or 35

28 and 27, we were not planning to have them right away after marriage but thinking about it now, two years after getting hitched. This thread makes me concerned about the future of educated America. What are your reasons for not having kids/having them into your forties?

11/15/2012 11:26:50 PM

33 and 31 and planning on having kids, just don't know when.

There's no guarantee your kids will be up to the task. They might mismanage your money or turn out to be greedy pieces of shit who stick you in a crappy rest home and forget you ever existed.

There are too many people in the world as it is. As for being into one's forties, the older you are, the more complications are introduced into the reproduction process.

Quote :

"This thread makes me concerned about the future of educated America."

Here's an idea: let's worry about the future of our society as a whole, and educate ALL the children, instead of only worrying about our own snot-nosed kids. Educating your own children is great and all, but you can do a whole lot more good helping an underprivileged kid transcend poverty and lower the birth rate.

11/16/2012 12:33:50 AM

Someday, yes. Not now.
