Are You Ready for Children?

Toy Test: Obtain a 55-gallon box of Lego's. (If Lego's are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles.) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream. (This could wake a child at night.)
.

LOL. I remember standing on those darn things...hurt like hell.

 

[Gazer]

Why not? Kids are awesome. I think you'd be a great dad.

 

[Gazer]

Yea well I don't have a complex about my penis size anymore. So it's not something I have to lie to myself about. It's just something I know.

I bet you're the only honest guy here. Most guys are average but they won't admit it.

Hey Acid, I respect you and everything but here goes.
Please do not take this at heart mate

I think you immature to have kids, do you know what type of responsibilities kids are?
Changing nappies, feeding them every 2 hours, waking up middle of the night and the baby is crying and what impact is this going to bring on your love life for 2 years until the baby can at least walk and talk. Hand feed the child, him or her wanting. No more going out to public places until ur child is old enough.


This is not like a PSP,XBOX,WII, this is real life - you've to be a role model towards your child.

My suggestion is if you are serious about having a baby.
1ST) Learn to Save R2 grand at least per month and another R500 put towards studies ect.
2ND) Equal Responsibilities - I know some friends that do not even know who their fathers are.

I think you'd make a great daddy Acid rock on man!

WTF? How much experience do u have with kids? They don't feed every 2 hrs, they walk LONG before they're 2..if they only walk at 2 then there's something wrong with them. Impact on lovelife??? - most people continue to have good sex lives with little kids. NO more going out in public places??? Have you never seen people with babies and kids in public?

You're talking such rubbish. Having kids is instinctual and a normal part of being a human being.

yeah, I think so too

 

[|tera|]

yeah, I think so too

I know it, he's a cool guy with l33t skills and one of those is being a cool guy

 

[Maelly]

It broke off a number of times bak in the days while I was at varsity.
Ya, have entertained that thought of having my own mbambila for a while now... Hhmm

Having a kid means commitment and not just being there when it suits you.

For the most part I'm going to have to hang my hat in RichardG's corner.

 

[|tera|]

I may sound like I'm a real brown noser, but I totally get where Acid is coming from. Behind the story of having it slip, he just wants to experience being a dad. He's not an irresponsible guy from what he's presented so far and I'm sure fatherhood would suit him, pretty damn well.

I think Acid would make a great dad, he fits the job description.

 

[risingtide]

I know. I'm kind of at that stage where I'd want a permanent commitment like that. Even if it's out of wedlock i guess.

I'll respect any decision she makes. It's her body afterall and I don't really have a say in the matter other than I'll be the dad.

She may fall pregnant, refuse to marry you (why should she, you tricked her), move to another city. You'll see you child once a year for a weekend and the only permanent commitment you have for the next 20 years is to pay maintenance.

Where is ShannonS LOL!!

 

[Ou grote]

I randomly thought this the other day when I was... well... busy

If it slipped off and I came in her and she got pregnant. I don't think I'll mind becoming a dad.

It's sad but yea... seems like these days you'll have to knock up a girl just to get her to marry you, and even then it's a 50/50 shot.

I'm at the stage where I envy people in relationships and having kids...

to make up for it I am giving all my recently married friends 12 months to make me an oom... OR ELSE

Go for it Acid.
Don't worry about the negative vibes about babies here, you can get an au pair.

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys

bwana & RichardG. My sister has 3 kids. Sure I'm not a part of their lives constantly but I know what it means as I've been there the first couple of months. I take a leaf out of my friend's book as well.

I know it's not like buying a car or getting a puppy. Thats why I said I think I'm ready for a more permanent committment like that. I'm kind of afraid I'll never get the chance to be one and experience everything... doesn't mean I want to do it because of my fear though.

Where is ShannonS LOL!!

lol, don't start!

Go for it Acid.

Haha, thanks man.

To the other people who posted as well. Obviously I won't just choose to impregnate just any girl. I know their reaction might be negative and shut me out of their lives and constantly want money etc, but I'd at least try and choose one mature enough that wants to commit... but just speed the process up somewhat. My cousin has 3 kids. With 3 di...wait. 4 kids. With 4 different girls. All he ever wanted was to be at the birth of one of them. (The last one he was there, they're still together and they've been like that for close on 10 years now)

His dad and step mom is in contact with all his kids on condition from the women that he doesn't know about it. How sad / bitchy is that? He was a policeman. Great dude. Just poor choices in women I guess? (Women with controlling parents etc)

I know what it takes. Sure I'm a little immature at times but that is mostly because I get bored out of my mind that I need some kind of *thing* to entertain me. And sometimes it's by pissing people off and just being illogical at times.

If it meant I need to "grow up" then I'd rather not. I won't know what it takes until I'm there. there's no book or video you can watch or read to tell you what parenthood is all about. You just need to wing it. Sure there's advice all around you but in the end advice only gets you that far. Raising a unique little person who you see grow up in front of your eyes and learn about the world. From conception to birth to their first tooth to their first heart break to their first day at university to their engagement to their wedding and their first born...

I won't mind being a part of something like that... doesn't look like I will ever be though.

And that's okay too. The point of the thread is just that if a girl I sleep with comes to me and says she's pregnant I don't think I would freak out and dissappear. I'd actually be happy...

you must have very expensive kids!! R1500pm is more the norm. If you are spending R1500 a week, you have spoilt brats....

 

[mercurial]

Acid, I think you're longing for companionship and falling into the cliche of modern society where people get pregnant and get married, except you are longing for the feelings of love and the feeling of being wanted. If that's the reason for you wanting to have a kid, then it won't work. Get some hookers and relieve yourself. You'll probably think you were crazy to think about having kids shortly after.
