Babies

They're so cute. Obviously, right?

But for some reason, I've been liking babies more than usual (not like that, you sicko), and it's gotten to the point when I realize that I secretly want one.

Preposterous, right? How could a college-aged guy want a baby? That should be the last thing on his mind, right? I should instead be wanting to have coitus with various women, right?

Oddly enough, that's not the case. Sex is great, but it's much better when it's with someone you care about rather than a large number of emotionally insignificant partners.

And oddly enough, the image of the woman I love holding my child makes me happier than anything else I can imagine. I'm not sure why. Hell, one of my best friends just had a kid, had to move into an apartment with his gf and the kid, only has a high school diploma, works at a grocery store and is only 18. I'm in college, have to deal with none of that and I felt a bit jealous.

Of course, I'm not gonna go out of my way to try and have one before marriage (I'll have fun practicing though heh), I understand the consequences that may bring. Hell, I have trouble saying it out loud or even typing it as I am now for fear that I may actually get my "wish" granted. But still...the lingering feeling is still there.

Is this strange? Is this growing up?

It' s the opposite that would be strange actually. We' re biologically driven to want it. I didn' t wait college to give it a thought.

There' s no hurry though, youth doesn' t last forever so enjoy it while you can. Besides, having a baby tends to put a strain on your relationship so you might want to make sure (s)he' s the one first.

 

When you boil it down, a baby is just a small, fat, bald humanbeing with a sack of its own crap around its waist. You find small, fat, bald people with a bag of crap around them cute. Yes, that is strange.

 

And that's when I realized that people who are in my age range are starting to have babies on purpose. What have I done with my life? Nothing. I'm just a guy who lives with his parents and spends ten hours a day getting paid to fondle women's underwear. Although I want to be a father sooner than just "someday," I have neither any particular drive to make a person nor the significant other to help me do so. I am not completely worthless, of course. There are at least half a dozen people who love and care about me enough that I can't just leave and start fresh elsewhere. Even so, I'm starting to feel like I'll never get the chance raise hell with the school when some bitch starts spreading the rumor that my little girl is a slut. At this rate, my grandmother will get to meet her great-great-grandchildren before I'm even close to that point and it's all because everyone around me is growing up so goddamn fast.

Tell me when you're gonna be on the Jeremy Kyle show USA.

 

It's not weird. I get this compulsion about once a week. Sometimes twice a week. I want one pretty bad. If I was better off financially, I probably would already be pregnant, not gonna lie. I have no idea what I want to do with my life other than be a mom. That's about the only thing I've managed to get set in stone.

 

I didn't touch either my cousins' babies until they were a year old because being around such frail things stresses me out. They're also pretty boring since they can't express themselves in a meaningful way. So the way I look at it babies basically suck.

 

I've never felt passionately about having kids or not having kids, it's always kinda just been like a "yeah whatever i'll think about it later" type of thing. There was a point where I wanted a daughter for some reason, I have no idea why, but that has since passed. Lately I've developed an intense dislike for crying things... it's kinda weird. And since that's a babies standard m.o. I'm not crazy about the idea of having one. And then there's the implications of what having a kid actually means. Saying you want a kid is one thing, but then thinking about the nearly incomprehensible consequences that come with one, I honestly cannot say that is something I would be willing to take on, for the very selfish reason of wanting to support myself and no one else for some time, and the less-selfish reason of fear for not being able to support it.

idk its just not something i want to think about for the time being

 

yo I hear you virgin

It's really nuts, it's probably started within the last like... two years. I've always loved babies but DAMN IT HAS GOTTEN INTENSE, this adorable little baby (she was 4 years old) came into my job today and she was just precious with her pigtails and glasses and dora the explorer sneakers. I get like this very often when little kids come into the theater, particularly little girls (that sounds so creepy I know) just because I would really want a daughter. I know people are all 'OH YOU'LL LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT' and the gender binary is bad but **** that I want a daughter. I was raised by a single mom and with two sisters so I am just partial I guess

I do absolutely understand that I should wait until I'm more secure in life to have kids, at the moment I can barely take care of myself, but the urge is strong. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M OVULATING.

 

For a minute I thought I wrote this post. Except for the ovulating part, because I don't do that. Herpaderp.

 

At least you're thinking about giving the kid a useful skillset.

 

This was the best way to start a conversation about having babies.

 

Llave D: I know people with this same mentality (in fact, one guy that I had a thing for last year had this same mentality), he was all like "I don't think I ever want a girlfriend again because I'd be too much of a burden"- noted, he has many, many emotional, physical and mental problems but I always thought, if you find someone that likes you enough to deal with that then you shouldn't shut them out :3 you shouldn't assume you'd ruin their lives ;-; THINK OF HOW AMAZING PRINCESS ANNA'S PARENTS WERE XD!!!


I want kids someday, but right now I really don't want them, I love seeing them doing kid stuff and I am quite close to a few kids at my local brownie pack that I help out at as well as these two girls who I have watched grow up who are friends of the family. I feel very close to them and they mean a lot to me. I am quite content with that at the moment, I want to find and marry someone I like and then build a family with them but not before.

 

I always feel that I wanna adopt a baby, I guess because, hell, I can't even trust myself to carry a little piece of life in my womb for a duration of 9 months (i.e., I'd bump it into everything ._____.; ). But just holding a baby and keeping it close to you and giving it so much of your love is a something I've always felt every once and a while. In a way, it's therapeutic.

 

I love taking care of children but strangely, I fear of having one of my own cause I feel like I can do everything wrong with them. Like holding month-old babies freak me out cause I feel like they would slip out of my grasp and fall and it would get very bad. Plus, I'm not the type to think about the future too much so I can't say I really want babies at the mo. Though, babies are super cool still. Like, yay babies.

 

Wait, woah. What?
