Nah. Not afraid. The world was a ****** up place and my mom raised me by herself. I know I can bring up a child in the right way. Now just isn't the time for me. There are way too many things I'd like to do before that type of responsibility beckons me.

I co sign with this. Man...this is going to be mean to say but I swear, some people should not be having kids. I have a friend that was on her biological clock and "accidentally got pregnant" with a one night stand. Granted her kid seems sweet now but there is already symptoms of how this kid will be reckless just like her mom. And she is hardly being taken care of since my friend still wants to party. It's just a bad cycle and I feel she just shouldn't have had the kid if she still doesn't want to be responsible for her kid. That kid is going to be crazy to all those other kids. They have no idea.
 
im scared. im 28 and am still selfish because there so much i want to do and accomplish.

cause i know when my child is born everything i do will be about and for them.  like it should be.  

i will come 2nd. im perfectly fine with this cause thats what it takes to be a good parent but i am just not ready for it yet.

people that 'shouldnt' be having kids, have been having kidssince forever. :lol:. Don't let that concern u.

I agree with the others saying that as long as the kids are raised well in a stable environment then there should be no issues.

ALL of these stats is due to (in my opinion) a combination of the following:

The food being produced these days. (Organic is a luxury now smh)
The average person's diet these days.
Mothers smoking/drinking while they are pregnant being more prevalent.
Mothers depending on that Enfamil trash instead of using their breast-milk.
Most people's attitude towards vegetables.
C Section births skyrockteting. (You can schedule a birth these days)
I have to stress again: THE FOOD
Social Decay (google it)
The grip that Allopathic Medicine has on our culture/country.

I could go on and on.

It costs roughly $304,480 to raise a child from birth to age 18.

People get upset when I tell them this fact. "You're not going to pay it all at once!"
Word? I might as well get a fully loaded Nissan GTR then, I won't pay it all at once, and its still cheaper and less demanding than raising a child.

You ever meet those people who reek of the "misery loves company" mentality, and ask you "Hey, you should have a kid too!" ? It is unbelievable how people don't see the immense responsibility raising a child is. To most its a milestone like buying your first car or going to College, very few take it as seriously as they should.

I want to provide the best possible upbringing for my child, if I can't afford that, then I'm not having any. Period.

For those who already have kids, if you're doing your best, then I salute you, keep it up.
To the NT'er who is getting pressure from spouses or family members: Do it because YOU are ready and only for that reason.

EDIT: Black Intellect knows whats up!

I'm only scared to have kids b/c I am not financially stable right now. Seeing and helping my mother raise my brother is soooooooo much effort.

Also feel I am a little to selfish for any young ones too, at least currently.

the problem with stats like this is they make it seem like everything is random

like your kid has a 33% chance of being fat

as a parent YOU have control over these things and you are able to create a healthy environment for a child to grow up in

Fax famb.



I want to be established in a career I want to be in or at least tolerate (right now my time in the navy is almost up and having a kid will definitely keep me in knowing I'm not trying to do this **** for 12 more years).
I want to cop everything I want (upgrade the coupe, more guns, buy a house)
Of course clappin them cheeks on the regular but also I just want to have that in between time of us living together for a while and just enjoying the time together finishing school. I'm not trying to marry my girl until I'm at least done with school and when we are married I want to enjoy marriage for a smooth 2 years with just wifey and I before having a kid.

I gotta be financially ready for it and have the feeling that I have done all I wanted and reasonably bought everything that I wanted before that next big step.

I'm not scared of kids. I am however scared of our society which is why I do my best to contribute to it in a positive manner.
