[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1410802, member: 4319"] Definitely not a strong desire. I could possibly be talked into 1 fairly easily, but I really wouldn't want more than that...ever. Barring multiples (terrifying). Kids, and more so women with a very urgent need to have kids scare me a lot. ([I]Especially if they don't see getting a puppy and dressing it in clothing as a reasonable compromise.[/I]) Probably why I usually end up single in short order and go to great lengths to avoid commitment, huh Doc? :sweat: Lots of women hit a certain age (surprisingly young) and they are scouting for a dad, not a partner. Uh, I think I left my headlights on. My neurotic personality doesn't jive well with being a parent. I've heard people say "You'll never be ready, you will never be able to afford it, and you'll never have the time to be a parent. You just have to go for it when you feel it's time." Yeah, I have a hard time with that. My sister is 11 years older than me and I watched her raise 2 kids when I was a teenager. Her kids are/were great, and I think I could handle good kids, but what about the crappy kids? Lets face it, I've known some great parents with kids that should have been lost at the mall.:D It's that unknown factor that scares me. Oh, plus the selfishness with money and free time. And the fact that I can't stand being around babies or kids under 5 for more than 10 minutes. Oh, and.... Yeah, no kids right now. Thanks for asking. :D [/QUOTE]
