So they are fuckable roommates, I am not sure why you think you are obliged to have kids with these women.
Baby number 6 is only a few weeks away...
Why didn't you snip after the 3rd... oh god why.
I wanted 4 kids....until I had number 3 and I thought to myself, We're good but then...number 4 popped up the next year and I was like:
Ever seen since my girlfriend's sister got a kid 2 years ago, it gave us the push we needed to want one... But we're both in our mid 30s and been having sex every 3-5 days since August last year without a condom and still nothing... :( I don't want to go to the hospital to test myself, but it might come to this soon enough.
Yup this is pretty eye opening once you start to go through it. It is even worse when you overhear shitty people talking about how they regret having kids and seeing others treat their kids so poorly.
It just happens but kind of hit you quickly like bricks.
Did the whole travel/go out/waste my money and time on stupid shit tour for 10+ years of my life. Those things got old and plus our friends started having kids.
BAM 2 kids now 2 and 5. I'm adamant I only want 2 kids so I'm set.

My son is almost 8 months.
I'm happy at the moment but we'll start trying for #2 around when he turns one.

Who says you have to give it up? You take them with you. My three year old has probably been to more countries than most people on this board. And alternatively, take breaks with your partner or by yourself. I'm thinking Svalbard this year. :D
The world is in a weird place and I want to focus on my projects and honestly, I don't want the responsibility of raising a human. I actually love kids though.
3-5 means you could still be missing the fertile window. However given your age I'd say try for six months max with timing, temping, opks. If still nothing, definitely go see a reproductive endocrinologist. I wouldn't even waste time with an OBGYN honestly.
Thank you OP. I was walking to Atlantic Terminal (Brooklyn, NY) and saw a food truck with a 'tacos al pastor' sign up.
I gave the man $3, he gave me heaven on a warm tortilla.
I'm 27 so right now I'm 50/50. Like I do definitely want kids (I used to outright refuse the notion) but I definitely don't want kids now. I'd like to have my first one around 33-35 I'd say.
Nah not really. Things could change but I'm not a huge fan of babies and don't like dealing with kids for more than short bursts. Basically kids don't do much for me like they do so many others and I don't want the responsibility of a human life if I'm not into it.
I always found the travel excuse strange. You have to be doing A LOT of traveling to justify not doing something to travel instead. I could see it if you're a globe trotter who doesn't anchor anywhere and travels to a new place to live every 6 months, but folks be talking about visiting Cancun or Vegas for a week as their yearly thing. Can easily have a kid and do that.
Yo bro...you a Mormon? Is this like a natural harem through a lifetime of hijinx?
Kids are expensive - it's easy to see how that can impact whatever that poster is doing for travels or adventures or whatever
It's more about having to put the brakes on doing activities together while traveling. Can't surf together, can't mountain bike together, can't ride a roller coaster together, etc if it is just the two of us and baby on vacation. We travel and do things together a lot throughout the year. Plus the added cost of flying after they hit the two year mark...woof.
Depends on where you live. Lots of places having a child isn't that expensive unless you literally make minimum wage on that case you probably shouldn't be traveling a whole lot either.
You can still do lots of things with a child and when the child gets older you can do all those with them too. if you're relatively young IE 25 or so, you can be surfing or mountain biking with your child when you're 35. It's not as much of a hindrance as you think it is. I guess I just don't see the fulfillment in committing to a life of just surfing and mountain biking as the thing I will look back on as a good accomplishment / commitment / achievement.
I thought babies were focal points for funneling one's own youth into.
At 33, yes I want kids, but I'm at a point now where I know it isn't likely. I've always wanted kids even when I was in my mid 20's.
My brother and his wife are expecting in a few months, so at least I can be an uncle.

Got 2 and snipped so fever or not it doesnt matter.
Say it in all the kid threads...kids dont equal your adventures are over. I hit pax, and ran a 13 mile spartan beast only a few weeks ago, gone to a few soccer games (go Hartford athletics) and a bunch of other things.

33 here and having a Hella of a time in the dating game to find someone I would love and to have a kid with.
Want to start a family soon. 😢

I don't look at kids as an accomplishment or achievement.
I am not saying a kid is off the table, just that we choose not to have one at this time. And fuck having one if I was 25...holy shit that sounds awful knowing who I was at 25.
I don't know where you live or what your situation is but it is absolutely not only people on minimum wage that struggle to get by with kids.
That's true, but your excuses (regardless of how firm you are in having kids) are incredibly weak. It's easier to just say, "I don't even want kids", but to give reasons like it'll interfere with surfing, mountain biking, roller coasters, etc which are not intensive / demanding and also group activities is kind of weird, don't you think?
Not in the slightest. I enjoy my life right now and want to continue the life I am leading right now. No where did I say I never wanted a kid, in fact I used the term "for now" in my opening sentence.
Having a kid would 100% interfere in my wife and I enjoying activities together right now, that is a fact.
