Re: Having kids, pros and cons?
I'll be the counter.
Getting married soon (been living together for years). Like with our wedding plans, we're not rushing into anything. I'd go so far as to say we've already decided that I'm going to get the 'ol snip snip. I'd be very happy not procreating - ever. I don't want kids because I'm selfish ,and like my life just the way it is. I spend enough time taking care of myself and my fiance. I also have several married friends who share the same sentiment as I. I've talked to my friends who have kids. I ask them if they regret having kids... not a one would regret having kids. When I tell them I'm planning on not having kids, I generally get a positive response. Thing is with having kids - you can't undo it. There's no backspace key... no days off. At most, my friends with kids just wish they could have a day off.. a break or something... but there's no such thing. I'm 30.. and I will not be reproducing. I'm very happy with that... if, for some reason, I change my mind - I'd adopt. I have a rescued dog, and she's great.

Re: Having kids, pros and cons?
I have a son who turns 3 in September, and my wife is 8 months pregnant with our second child. We're very happy. I get to spend most days with him - as my wife works during the day and I have a night job. We have a blast together for the most part - eating together, playing together, taking mini trips together, swimming, watching movies, blah blah blah. I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything ... and I know my wife feels the same way.
That said, there are some days that I literally want to run away ... maybe that's too harsh. Make that, take a week-break or something. I don't get to have too much fun with friends, my wife and I don't get to spend quality time with just each other, I don't get nearly enough sleep, my son is in love with mommy and just kind've tolerates me (not really, but it feels that way sometimes), and I feel pressure to do/don't do things that I really do/don't want to do. It's all worth it, like others have said. But please, it's a challenge like everything else - and some days are very, very difficult for me personally and on my marriage. And if you aren't ready for some of these challenges and aren't willing to work on them with your spouse as a team, you're in for a rude awakening.

He KNOWS he doesn't want to be a parent, and won't even consider it. He's proof that there's no right or wrong to this problem. He's got it figured out. Nh sir.
