Maybe, but I'm still not convinced I want any.
Fully understand. We weren't either. But there is absolutely nothing better than your kid crawling in your lap and saying,"Love you, Daddy." Or any of a hundred things that they do.

I still don't like other peoples kids.

I did not know what truly loving another human being was until my child showed up.

I noticed a lot more people these days seem to be more focused on jobs, advancement, and money than on raising a family. Our network admin brags how he will never have kids because he wants "an Audi R8 by the time he's 38".

I hope his car will come visit him in the nursing home when he gets old

I don't really care that much about jobs, advancement, etc. There are just many other things in life I want to do and I don't want/need the responsibility of kids.

Nope. My aunt went on some very strong antibiotics. She has a 3 month old son to prove it isn't a myth.

Anecdote does not equal evidence. There have been actual studies of this (not stories about relatives ) which show that most antibiotics don't affect the effectiveness of birth control. There are a few exceptions to this though.

I already asked her that. Apparently she is pretty sure it is.
Also, as a note, when your wife is having a breakdown about being pregnant, not a good time to ask that question...

so when are you going to tell her that you've been snipped and that it can't be yours?

I kid I kid.

31 is late? My plan was married and kids by 30... and only because of birth risks as she gets older. Hope you had a lot of fun in your 20s first, but you said you have older kids. I mean, I have 3.5 year olds right now and haven't been able to do anything fun just for us for... 4 years.

It's great being retired early but you also likely sacrificed some getting there. Not for everyone.

Your last point is the chicken and egg argument. If you don't have kids you don't need to worry about daycare.

Travel for starters. And I don't like the idea of my kid being in daycare.

Where do you want to go, and when are you planning on going?

I'd love to go to Rome, but probably won't be able to go until I'm in my 50's.

Mainly European travel. We want to go over every couple of years. I've been several times but my wife has only been once so she is eager to see more. I've been to Asia and South America as well but I don't believe she is very interested in going to countries in either location.

I'd like to personally pull a puffff and peace out.

Grandaddy always said the races shouldn't mix, that's what ur sister is for


*sarcasm*

Yes that totally has some relevance to fatal heritable genetic disorders like I have...

Please note it is only slightly fatal but all the same it means a life on way to many medications and possible organ transplants.
