Don't worry people I don't want to know the whole of your personal life, I was just wondering if any other board members have any kids!

I have a daughter 13 years of age called Petra

And having kids is hard work at times lol :rolleyes:

So is anyone else on this board a father or mother?

:D

Nope, I have all my future kids with me at this time, and let 'em out when I feel like having fun.

Yeah I never actually planned to have a kid (sounds a bit awful :( ). She just came along with the stalk ;) lol :rolleyes:, but I don't regret/or want to change any part about that! ;)

Some people think your "free-time-days" go when you have a kid(s), but it don't I still get up to all the things I used too :hatsoff:
 
I don't have any kids, but I really wish sometime I will, just because I have a niece who is my eyes and soul, I haven't seen her for a while... now she's 7 yo, and I miss her a lot, I'm feeling proud to realize by phone conversations that many of the things I taught her still remain, and someday I wish I can teach a kid of my own the way I see things and show him/her the world as the really beautiful place I have experienced in my life despite the bad things.

After all... your kids are all that will remain from you later... so... try to give them the best!!! and definitely build a better world for them that you have now!

Cheers! :glugglug:

So you have a 13 year old, Fellowes? It's stork. You mean stork.

I don't have any kids nor will I ever. There are too many in the world already. The love of my life has three and they're almost grown up now. She doesn't need anymore, only wants them if I want them - I don't want them, so we're all set. Call me selfish but I have too many things to do in the next 20 years to devote as much time and effort and love as is neccessary to raise children properly. Plus I like living in the United States and if I had a child I would never ever raise my child in the United States, so it would mean I would have to move.

Fox

Man... I simply don't understand...
1. you like living in the US but you don't want to raise your child in the US? Now is that a contradiction or what? (even with that little explanation sentence it deserves some thinking)
2. You say the love of your life has three kids already (please excuse my rude question), but are them your children? I ask it because you seem to be upset by something, and believe me, kids not the ones to blame.
3. "There are too many in the world already"... Ok... do you want to condemn your offspring to nonexistence because of your own prejudices that some other's children are the ones who will remain in here after you pass out? that's named competitive advantage... have you ever heard the term "competitive advantage"?
 
Well then... I thought you wanted to post here because you wanted to hear someone else's opinion, however, I see that you're only posting for yourself, which I respect.

Sorry for disrupting your thinking

Cheers

I have a 6 month old girl, she means everything to me. She's what makes me want to change the world so she can grow up with everything she wants.

She gives me purpose and is my inspiration.

I call it a cop-out. It's hard work just to have a kid, but it's life's purpose to propagate. It's our responsibility as adults to make our world a better place for our children. Why do you think I'm against violence? I don't want my daughter to grow up seeing as much as I did. And I want to raise her so that when she has my grandchildren she will have lived a better life than me, and will have done more to make the world a better place.
 
nope.....soon though

Damn that's a bit mean isn't it? I'll answer your questions but do you have to be so hostile?

mean? hostile? *laugh* no way man! I'm just trying to have some conversation here, since I've been away from the freeones board for some time! but if you want action you have to give action... don't you agree?

Anyway, if you want to answers the "questions" go ahead, or not, you know... whatever :)

cheers again!

I've got kids, but for once I'm gonna defend **********. That's not a cop out, that's a wonderful decision if that's how he feels. The absolute worst thing in the world is for people to have children that don't really really want them. We've got enough parents who don't want to be parents, cause you're right, it's tough to be a parent. My immature ass struggles with it, and you just try to do the best you can every day.

Cudo's to you fox, for making the responsible decision.

(1) I love living in the USA but I think it's one of the worst places on earth to raise children. I think the country inspires capitalist selfish thinking and implants it in its young. I think teens in America are twice as materialistic than anywhere else and a lot of them treat their parents like absolute shit, more than anywhere else. I think most of it is down to the media and culture, and down to schooling: Universities in America are awesome but high school in America can be hell - it's about cliques and learning that you have to be one of the boys/girls to belong (a bit like this whole thing about me not having kids)... I hate American schooling. I'm very glad I went to school in England. I'd raise my kids in Europe, and since I don't want to live in Europe anytime soon, it would be a huge sacrifice to have kids. I would feel like if I had them in America, America would be raising my kids and there would be nothing I could do about it other than holding on too tight, keeping them reigned in, and that only ever pushes children away.

Fox

Mr. Fox, you're right that a lot of our children are materialistic, but that has nothing to do with capitalism. Yes I'll continue this debate anywhere. :) It has to do with parenting. Same thing with kids respecting their parents. I'm a huge fan of capitalism, yet I respected my parents even as a teenager. High school is about cliques, yet so is a lot of life. I hated high school more than you can imagine. I was on the outside of EVERY clique. Yet I learned a ton, not only in class, but also by the sheer fact that I was marginalized. Maybe I'm odd, but it taught me how to be emotionally self sufficient, and it taught me how to not have to depend on others approval. Capitalism aint the problem, it's parents that believe their kids self esteem is more important then teaching them discipline.
 
fox, you fell for it, Hook, Line and Sinker!!!.... and in the process, you turned this into another political debate.:2offtopic :bs:

I dont have any kids yet, Im only 38 and my Lady is 26....

we have plenty of time!!!:)
