You know you don't have to get into a serious relationship with every woman you gently caress. You can have some fun with a single mom when they get free time and not ever have anything to do with or interact with the kid in any way.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

So glad my gf has no interest at all in having kids. Happy to spoil my nephew and soon-arriving niece and hand them back when they get too lovely.

I'll take doggos over babbys any day.

I've got about three or four years before I'm gonna consider kids.

We're both getting genetic testing beforehand, though since we're so ethnically different it's probably completely unnecessary but eh.

That's how the trap is laid. There's one in New Mexico trying to play it on me now. I logged back into okc and she's just been messaging away. If it gets to the point of her making a booty drive, I won't turn it down, but she's well informed of my non-friendly status with children and she has two boys under 10.

Besides, I see the local one every work day. She doesn't work at my company, just at the stop I hit for coffee and cigarettes. Been going there for a year, she's just been more and more of a flirt, casually discusses her also lovely dating life, that kind of poo poo. I'm confident I could get a date if I asked. Her kid is a 3ish daughter. Probably less handful than two boys under 10.

I might be overly suspicious, but it's kept me kid free so far.

There's a pair of young 30 sisters live down the road from me. Really nice, attractive women. They got a big farm and are very out doorsy. Way thinner than my type though.
One has a son that needs to be fed to their pigs though.
Little poo poo pulled a knife on my boy. Took all my strength to not backhand him into the next week.

Fiancee and I both don't want kids, and I don't see that changing at all on either end. We're both content to have a few dogs and some cats, and then travel a bunch. I'm also totally down with being the cool uncle, or at least thinking I'm the cool uncle.


What sucks though is my mom and her parents are still on the "WELL YOU SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, CAUSE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE, AND ALSO GRANDCHILDREN!" It's doubly annoying on her end because her sister already has two kids, so it's not like they are missing out on having grandkids. She's also going through a divorce right now and wants to potentially have a third with her rekindled boyfriend from high school. :psyduck:

I need to get a vasectomy though. My GP gave me the referral but I've been busy so I still haven't called for my initial appointment.

Some kids are ok. I don't have a blanket "no kids" rule because that removes most of the sane women out there, but if your kids are shitheads that's a big noooooope.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
My 1SG is big on families and kids and poo poo and anyone with a family gets instant brownie points with him. It's almost like he's personally offended by the fact that I'm 30 and in no rush to settle down and start having kids.

Actually it's really loving weird how many people in the Army just love popping out babies. I've never met so many people with 3-6 kids before.

My whole unit has kind of transformed this year. Last year all the social events were mostly just other soldiers or adults and everyone was drinking and having a good time, now it's little kids running around everywhere and much tamer and extremely boring.

I'm glad neither me or the wife ever wanted children. I would have been such tremendously lovely parenting material and my kid would probably have been some vicious Lord of the Flies/Damien doppelganger that would torture small animals for fun. But at least I realize this, unlike a lot of people who have children.

If you're still serious about this later in life and don't want to just feel like a lonely old person, there are all sorts of opportunities to sponsor clubs, mentor individuals, help fund events, etc at the high school and college level. My dorm floor had a guy who would occasionally host a cookout or take a group of a dozen or so out to an ethnic restaurant, which was a nice luxury as poor college kids. He got to keep in touch with some students and see what we were up to, we got to talk to this chill dude and have food. (It helped that his goal was not to try to bang college chicks, and he was acknowledged by and affiliated with the university)

In the grand aspect of everything I'd honestly be all for having a kid, just not now. Both my parents traveled and essentially lived good lives kid free until they were 37 and 33 respectively, followed by popping out 3 kids after they both saw the world and we're ready to take the plunge into parenting. That was drilled into my head about enjoying your life and fostering a career/traveling/gathering life experience before you plunge into the world of diapers and PTA meeting.

I guess I don't see the drive to have kids when you're so young, the idea of dedicating your 20's to raising a child just doesn't really appeal to me... And to be honest, I'd rather just adopt a kid since theres probably a kid that doesn't have parents who needs to learn about star wars, video games and riding bikes

No. Lower enlisted are dumb and think that because they get paid more if they have dependents they might as well pop out a few kids for that extra pay.

The fools. Little do they realize that the good money comes from housing foster kids.

Noted shitheel LaVoy Finicum (aka Tarp Ghost) got real mad when his foster kids were removed during his armed takeover of the Oregon wildlife sanctuary last year. Probably not mad because of any affection for them, but because he earned more than a hundred thousand dollars a year for fostering, and that was almost his entire yearly income.

This kind of thing is weirdly common among antigovernment militia types. Guess it's one way to build the militia and fund it at the same time.

A woman in my office has 8 foster kids. The secret is to get them in staggered ages, but no more than a few years at most. You do this so you can vastly cut down on clothing expenses.

I mean, the woman is super nice and takes care of the kids very well but yeah you can totally game the system for megabux if you plan it out intelligently.

Considering the alternative I don't even think I'd think of this as gaming the system.

Goon (Exploding Sims) bought a truck in Montana, has it trailered to another goons house in Nebraska.
Sims buys a van, drives it to Nebraska, with the intention of taking the van engine and putting it in the truck.
Goons fund a down and out meth head (14 INCH DICK) from Seattle to buy an old Jeep and drive to Nebraska to do this. He's kind of a forums celebrity because he's a meth head, has posted frequently about his crazy hallucinations and problems. He's a good guy though, just has substance abuse and mental health issues.
Old jeep burns to the ground in Nebraska.
14 Inch absolutely thrives away from Seattle - he gets clean, looks way healthier, is happy.
Project didn't get finished in time, winter sets in, 14 goes back to Seattle. Goes right back on the stuff, voluntarily becomes homeless and lives on the streets.

Goons funded him in every step.. old jeep, food, cigs, travel, etc. AI grouped together to give him money to buy an old car in Nebraska - he didn't buy the car, used it to avoid homelessness for awhile back in Seattle.

14 was basically gonna die on the streets of Seattle.... he sells his tools (was a car mechanic by trade) and anything else he can, buys a bicycle, and goons fund him this summer/fall to take a Greyhound back to Nebraska. Disaster strikes every step of the way, and goons rescue him and also buy him a pop up trailer so he doesn't have to live in a tent in a field in Nebraska in fall to fix a truck for freeish.

Away from Seattle he's clean again, happy again, getting healthy again. Truck now runs and moves, and they're just now heading back to Sim's home in Florida.

14 Inch plans to ride his bike from Florida to Denver, where he will attempt to rebuild his life.

It's been a wild ride following this saga for over a year now.

Edit: took too long typing and getting my chinese food stuffed in my mouth hole.
