Having three children myself I have always been amazed the difference of people without kids. Let me preface that there isn't nothing wrong in choosing not to have kids. We have an ample number of kids already.
I just find that those without kids become very self centered and always need to get away for a weekend for stress relief. And I think What Stress?
In defense of childless couples we with kids are the ones with photos and lengthy discussion on little Billy's sports or muscial talent.
But I truly think if the only butt you ever wiped is your own then you have this strong tendency to be so self-centered and I hate to say it but "wimpy".
Just my thought.

There may be something to what you say Crosscheck. I will say that I applaud people who realize that they aren't "givers" and choose to not have kids. Those types make poor parents.
Kids aren't the sole cause of stress. I have no kids and I'm usually stressed out about something: work, family issues, relationships, etc.
What gets me about parents crying about the stress of having kids? Well you knew that before you had em so suck it up and deal:2razz:
Life with or without kids comes w/ stress.

nah, you really don't. until you actually have em...you have no idea the amount of stress kids can cause. and it doesn't stop when they turn 18 either. I have stressed/worried more about my oldest son since he left home that I did when he was a kid.
I have thought about having kids... but to be completely honest I am not sure if I want to bring a child into the kind of world I am seeing. Besides, it is hard enough to get myself on my feet without help from my own family, and I'm 25. Maybe once I'm 30 and my basic needs are self-sustaining, I can think about the next step. I really don't know though.

It's kind of terrifying to me that my son is having a child, now that the event is getting close.
He doesn't seem ready. Neither of them do.

Yeah, if only anyone could have a clue what it would be like before you had them....then you could know.

I don't like kids. I'm agin' em, so I didn't have any. So I have to be a self-centered wimp? Actually, I'm very responsible, and made a decision, and it worked out for me.
Crosscheck, if you hate them that much, put them up for adoption. Gaaahd.
Don't take it out on us childless couples for not having kids.

I understand your anger. Some of the parents I know are constantly stressed and embarrassed by their bratty kids.
Anyhoo. Got to get back to my research. I'm looking for a nice cabin for my wife and I in the mountains. Just the two of us. We're going up on November 1st to the Smoky Mountains for a week. Not for stress relief, though. Just for fun.
