Holy Hell on Earth

[Ronin13]

Thanks guys,
really...

I'm never having kids. I thought I would enjoy it after getting past the sticky phase (why are children always so sticky?). But hearing all these horror stories, and then a friend of mine who has 3 daughters (IIRC 8, 13, and 17) and he's the only guy in the house besides their Alaskan Malamute. He's always tearing his [very little] hair out and wonders "Why is everyone crying?"
Heh, reminds me of that Bill Engvall joke...
"They called me names and said I wasn't allowed to play with them, and then they closed the door and locked me out and waah waah..."
"Honey, calm down, it's okay... this is no way for any wife of mine to act."

You think you have a vote in this? One day, she will say: "I think it is time to start a family." Your response will be: "I don't think we are financially ready for this" and then SURPRISE!

My wife and I talked about the kids thing before we got married. Best talk we ever had.

Where do you think I got the sticky idea from? The gal I'm dating now (no I'm not sure if she's the one or not, too early) doesn't want kids, but then again her biological clock isn't going off just yet... subject to change. But as of today, 10AUG2012 I do not desire to have children. Not set in stone, maybe one day I will...

I would hope that she is, otherwise last weekend would have been awkward!

I have a 2 step daughters, one just joined the Army Reserve, she is a great kid and very low maintance and super easy to get along with. The other one is 17 years old and an absolute pain in the ass to live with. I don’t know what happened with her, she went from being a somewhat easy kid, to a little a-hole all in about the span of 2 years.
At the age of 15, she stole my mother in laws credit card, bought her boyfriend a bike, (we called the police on that one to teach her a lesson). Well that didn’t help just made her more defiant and self-serving monster.
She has been ticketed for shoplifting, sneaks out at night and no matter what we tell her about her future she has the same response “I don’t care, I do what I want to do” drives me nuts, she has even threatened to call the police on me for punishing her for her behavior. Its so bad that her real dad wont even take her because” it will ruin his relationship with his new wife”… thanks dick!
So I am now counting down the days, months that she turns 18 and we can kick her out of the house. Girls and such a pain the butt.

Good luck!

Yup. I was one of the teenagers that knew it all. Best thing that happened to me was when I moved out and realized that I didn't.

When I was a PL, I got a frantic call from one of my Soldiers. He needed a ride home form some girl's house that he found out wasn't really a girl, but was at her house and she drove him there.
