Just have 10 kids like the people in the 1800's used to do on the farms :D.
 
I don't have any siblings. Not that it doesn't have its benefits, but if I make or get a baby I'm gonna make or get at least one extra too.



You're celibate for life?
Considering I'll probably be a priest in a few years, yes.
 
When one of my uncles had a kid, my mom give him what he considered the best advice ever.

"If you're going to have a kid, have a second one. It makes it a lot easier."

Indeed, after that second kid, the entire generation of two kids was less work that just one. They watch after each other, play with each other, etc, and thus require less laboring and toiling from their parents.

that doesn't fit with my experience so far :) While the second kid certainly doesn't have the impact the first one has, I don't think it makes less work than 1 kid.

It's true they often busy themselves by playing with each other, but just as often you'll have to step in because they're fighting over something. And I've yet to see a stronger force of chaos as two kids playing.

2 kids are less than twice the work of 1 kid, but every kid's going to add a bit of work (even if you disregard the first year or so)
 
I don't have kids. I don't want kids. And now I'm too old to have kids, so at least now my mother's family can shut up about it.

However, I've had adopted children for 35 years. They're short (usually 18" tall or less), walk on 4 feet, don't have a lot of conversation, and the youngest loves to play on the computer (literally; I wake up from a nap and find paw prints on the keyboard and my settings changed). And no, I can't just take off for a weekend without making arrangements for care. As a result, I haven't gone anywhere for a weekend since my dad went to the hospital/nursing home (5 years).

But I wouldn't give them up for anything. :love:
 
On the topic of this thread it's too early for children. I have a full head of hair. Let me at least look like this when I have kids:

Also while I'm told that me and gf would make some great looking mixed race babies, like I always tell her neice, "You're the reason why your parent's can't have nice things."
 
Considering I'll probably be a priest in a few years, yes.
Even though it'll be a few years before you're ordained, my congratulations! :goodjob:

I don't see what that has to do with anything.
Only unmarried men can be ordained for priesthood in the Catholic church.
 
Sounds like a half-dickish insinuation that our resident seminarian isn't going to be able to keep it in his pants?
 
OP, when I find the 15 to 20 women who are right for me, and I settle down, I'm going to leave the decision to my wives whether we have children or not. Look, I'm a reasonable person, it really is their Right to Choose.

Just remember, if you are the token male in the nexus of childrearing you are going to need to stay home full time so that you give your couple dozen children a healthy male role model. Your wives will have to be the career minded parties.
 
I'm OK with that. I love my home and garden, and really don't want to leave it at all.
 
Oh. I saw you mention bees before. Are you a bee farmer? I thought it was wheat all the way with you.
 
I just like bees. I think they're awesome. Plus they make honey, which is also awesome. Drones make for hilarious comparisons. Wasps suck.

Corn and soybeans personally, but I really find almost anything to do food production interesting. I fancy myself agrarian, but it wouldn't really be true for the most part.
 
Now, wasps I like. Magnificent beasts. But no commercial benefit has yet been discovered for them.
 
Yay! Why don't people respect insect life for what it is? A part of the whole.
