Stephen 776 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I've found there are few things more obnoxious than life than loud children. I'm pretty sure I'll never adopt a kid myself because... look, even my niece is too much and I only deal with her maybe a few hours every month. Link to comment
a/0 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If you can't handle kiddos at just being loud and obnoxious you might have issues with them at their identity crisis stages. Adopting children is much harder than raising your own. There is a whole new dynamic to raising children that you didn't conceive yourself. Lucky for me I don't have to worry about either case; I hope. 1 hour ago, wildflower said: i love my family but jeepers am i ready to be in a household without children and almost constant loudness again very brave of me to assume i could handle 3 weeks of this I haven't even seen much of my family outside parents over the last several months, and a bit of my niece but to be quite frank... That's for the better. To be honest I feel like I don't really have a family at this point. Link to comment

Stephen 776 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I mostly said adopt because I'm too gay to conceive. April and ace 2 Link to comment

What I am thinking of is fostering children. Fostering when an original parent can influence things, and that is what I was thinking of. You're also right. Younger children are in fact favored.

DranSeasona Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Kids are tough, sure, but I never cease to be amazed at how much I love my little ones. Even though they drive me bonkers and the lack of sleep is a killer... Also surprising to me is I genuinely don’t have a favourite. I love them both in different ways. I always assumed my parents were just lying when they said that. Doc Brown, a/0 and Spring 3 Link to comment

Tyranogre Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 I prefer something you can keep in a tank, like a reptile or an aquarium. Cats are wonderful, though. Doc Brown 1 Link to comment
Youngster Joey Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can hear my nephew screeching upstairs, as he does every Monday visit. Yeah, I've known kids aren't my thing since forever, so having one of my own isn't in my desired future. There's a lot I'd like to do first before even thinking about it. I'd much prefer having cats, though I've come to learn that having pets severely limits your options in renting places. Link to comment
