Thread for the childless

[Provost Harrison]

Well I do plenty of "practice runs" but certainly have no interest in having children. At least yet, not for another 10 years I reckon. I am enjoying life without a millstone around my neck.

[Provost Harrison]

The problem is women have a built in mechanism that allows them not to conceive if they don't want to have a baby. That's what's keeping you childless.

Spoken like a true Republican

When exactly did you go to Machu Pichu?

freedom's fine, unless you don't use it.

I have a couple more years until the kids are out of the house, hopefully, then I will have freedom, too.

ACK!

I'm working on it. It's not like I don't have the money. It's just I prefer not to go to a foreign country alone. I heard bad stories about those dirty foreigners. Even in the Navy they said you couldn't go out by yourself, and needed a buddy. It's a place I would love to go to. It's on my wish list. If only I could find someone to go with me... For various complicated reasons I can't go with my lady friend (her family obligations).


And not too likely I will have kids. After the longest wait, I finally do have a lady friend (although our relationship is complicated and we can't live together- but that's okay- more time for computer games) for my romantic relationship. No chance of having kids because of the IUD, and she doesn't want them. Neither do I. We both like having fun and sex (not in that order), and that's good enough for me. I'm getting to the age that having kids is near impossible (unless I marry young which isn't likely). I'm closing in on the big 40. But I'm still young at heart. In some ways, I never grew up.

Kids are awesome.

This.

Gross.

Having more disposable income due to not having to pay for kids.

I read something in a newspaper recently about a kid costing ~$300,000 before turning 18 just for the basic stuff. That's ridic. I had wanted 3-4, but now I might just stick to 3. My best friend wants at least 8. She only grew up with one sibling.

You can get more on the black market. Call me.

Not child less. Child free- or child un-hampered.

Unencumbered by crotchfruit, as it were.

Crotchfruit!

Love it !


Must popularize this in British gay circles as a neologism for 'packet' or 'basket' or 'bulge'.

By the way, have you ever seen the B.B.C. television series 'Bodies' or read the novel by Jed Mercurio ?

Bit of a busman's holiday for you, but it was good reading and an excellent drama...

Sounds quite a bit like "House of God", which I very much enjoyed; a Catch-22 for the medical set.

And I wish I could take credit for "crotchfruit", but I heard it first from my wonderful wordsmith of a wife. The very idea of having children gives her hives.

Enjoy your bumper crop of disabled children, courtesy of your decrepit sperm.

Excuse me! My jizz is loaded with awesomeness!

[Elok]

Maybe, but a recent study I'm too lazy to dig up and link to says that in ten years your jizz will also be loaded with defects. Lots and lots of defects.
