    This is nature ... maybe listen?


    I have been. Our "plan" is to start trying in the spring when I finish grad school. But until then, please give it a rest. I know you want kids. You don't have to remind me every 3 fucking hours.

    Sorry, this is a sensitive subject for me.

    Oh congratulations on finishing grad school, that is wonderful!
    superb!
    I know she is very proud of you. Great plan, great to have a plan.
    She will be thankful for this one day.

    The best things in life are worth waiting for, your baby will be living proof!

    Sorry I can't help but be excited for you ...

    and do not worry if you are not as excited as she,
    Daddy's sometimes take awhile to get comfy with kids, even the idea of kids.
    Best wishes to you all :D

    Proud papa of two kids, boy 7 and girl 4.
    I too felt like many of you about the burdens and inconveniences. So I waited until I was older.
    I wish I had them sooner. The amount of joy your own children bring into your life far outweighs the burdens.
    You will never experience that joy unless you have kids.

    about 80% sure that I don't want any...definitely not in the next 10 years at least. Plus, I'd kinda need a father for them as well. :lol:
    Thankfully my friends have only just started with the whole getting married and having kids thing, and having one baby around will be fun (finally I get someone to buy all those cool merch things for!), but I dread the day when most of them will be mums and we can only talk about kids...I'm not going to pretend I'm into their babies though, they know me well enough to see through it anyway. ;)

    If you value them as friends then you will have to put up with them talking about their kids. They should know not to do it ALL the time, but you can't expect them to cater towards you and your lack of caring about kids every time you hang out. That's not fair. People who seem to have a vendetta against kids kinda weird me out (and I'm not saying you are one of them). No-one should ever expect you to "be into" their kids. But you have to understand that most new parents are elated at their new addition and want everyone they know to meet the baby and, even if you have to act a little bit, ooh and ah. This is a major change for them. If you are a true friend, you should find some way to bond with the child, even if just a little bit. No-one is saying you need to fall head over heels in love with them, but at least make an attempt to be a part of the whole thing. That is, of course, if the friendship truly means something to you.

    People who have kids change. That's just how life goes. I've seen it happen where people have kids, and then single friends complain that the parents changed too much, are never there, and only want to talk about their kids. They always blame the parents without pointing the finger at themselves (and I've been there myself...becoming a father at 33 after most of my friends already had kids). To remain friends with a newly married and new parent couples, the effort has to come from both sides. I make an attempt to still hang out with my single friends...but they don't make it easy sometimes. My best friends remained my best friends even after they had kids and I was still single. They made an attempt to keep the friendship going strong, but I too had to make an attempt to adjust to my new role in their lives.

    I make it a point not to let my daughter dominate the conversation with my single friends...but it's impossible to avoid the subject altogether. You can't expect to.

    My kids don't have kids yet but they just love the kids of their friends.
    They are fun! It brightens their day to interact with them.
    Kids make ya feel like a kid again and they say the damnedest things!
    Innocence teaches much.
