WTF: This is the most terrifying thing I've ever read

I'm I fan of the IUD. It leaves me completely out of the picture. I prefer to keep everything factory original.
 
Well, I never wanted kids, but my wife did, so I obliged her... I love my boy, but I think there is a particular evil in all kids between the ages of, say, -9 months to about 110 years...

I know how he feels.I don't like kids either. I do my best to avoid kids and places that cater to kids.

Granted there are some down sides but there are many up sides. It would be interesting to hear the reasons why people dislike kids. I can understand it in regards to someone else's as parenting is not always done.

To the "just get snipped" guys...

Don't they give you local anesthetic via....a needle when they do the procedure?

I'd have to imagine that the recovery time for a vascectomy is a lot longer than the recovery time for a single shot.

Unless the needle is 1/2" in diameter, I have to think the shot to the johnson is far less invasive than the snip.

While you are probably correct, the thought of that one inch needle (from the pic) entering ones member just don't seem right. Working in the medical field it is tough just to see the instrumentation used for cysto procedures - TURP's look worse. On my one hospital stay I was blessed with having a Foley cath. Never ever thought that I would get one in my life but I did. That Son-Of-A-Bitch hurt going in and hurt coming out six days later. I am sorry no needles in the Johnson - if so, I better be out - fully anesthesized.

Even with Saint Jr. going through his "I am 18 years" of age hormonal rant, I would have still wanted him plus a few more which never happened.

Worst argument ever, yet the one that I always hear. Just because I was a kid it doesn't mean I want to have one and I really didn't have any say in being born. :embarrassed:

But when I go down the checklist of reasons why I'd want to have kids I come up empty. I work with kids so I get all the cute moments of them making me pictures or saying funny things, but at the end of the 30 minutes they go home with their parents, who have to raise them, feed them, keep them in clothes, provide emotional support, and pay guys like me to teach them important life skills. I get to go home, drink beer, play guitar, and hang out with my dog. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the winner there.

Not an argument, just wanted to hear your reasoning behind your choice. Please expand on the one item I am confused on: "pay guys like me to teach them important life skills". What skills do you embrace them with? I only ask because I too taught guitar for a living and also taught in junior college.

Truth, we didn't even allow kids at our wedding.

I consider learning music a pretty important skill. It's a creative outlet that fewer kids are learning in schools these days, as art and music programs are being cut left and right. I have students who until they started playing guitar hadn't had a music class since third grade! :eek: Regular practice requires dedication and focus that hopefully finds it's way into other aspects of their lives, while performing in recitals and group classes challenges them to play their best in front complete strangers and their peers... the best kid in the class might crack under the pressure and the kid who is in the middle of the road might suddenly steal the show.

I went to private Catholic Schools and we never had music classes. There were after school music programs like jazz band or whatever, but it wasn't part of the curriculum.

I understand all of that bro, but you still haven't broke the plane regarding your dislike for kids. Sorry to be dick on asking. People who generally hate kids avoid them like the plague.

That is understandable.

That is too bad - really.
 
I don't hate kids, I just don't want any of my own. Mrs. P may actually hate kids.

At this point in our lives, we're on the verge of being too old to really change our minds about that anyway.

I said I'd hate to HAVE kids. I used to think that I hated kids, but now it's more like a mild distaste. The majority of my students are either late middle school or in high school. I've got a couple of younger students, but unless I'm in financial duress I don't take students younger than 10 and I never take them younger than six.
 
I don't hate kids either, I just on comfortable around them. I feel like I have to watch what I say and do around them. It's like walking on eggshells.

My son used to watch that show - he dug the chicks. I would just leave the room and go do other things.

The youngest I taught was 7. As the father and I discussed, it was primarily a trial period (one month) as the girls attention span was really 5 minutes. It wasn't financial duress at all. Her father wanted to see if his daughter would be interested in learning as like many kids, want to try it out and when it gets to hard, drop out.

In regards to what your statement was earlier:

I wanted to hear what your reasoning was as you are in constant contact with the youths of the future. Usually people who are in constant contact with kids like being around them or can't have them themselves. To also note besides teaching guitar I also coached youth basketball for a number of years. Coached my sons teams for from 3rd to 8th grade and coached some youth girls 5-7. The girls were a blast to coach as some of them were like the daughters I never had. Such a treat and pleasure while yes, some of them were difficult but that comes with being around the young generation.

Never said you did. I felt uncomforatable too in the beginning as my siblings never had kids due to choice by illness. I did want kids so it was a pleasure to have my boy - greatest love of all. As for watching what you say around them, they are sponges. You learn, respect them and they in turn return the favor like a dog or a cat. The major difference is that their personality changes as well as they age. Heck one day my kid will be putting diapers on me.....I hope....lmbo

I don't teach because I wanted to work with kids. I teach because I love music. Honestly, I'm obsessed with it. I spend pretty much every waking hour at least thinking about it even if I'm doing something else. And yeah, that even includes sex. If the world's smartest monkey wanted to learn how to play guitar I'd teach it.

Having kids would be unacceptable, because they would get in the way of music. It's really that simple for me. I don't know any other way to explain it. :confused:
