Why thankfully? have you bred?
i agree with you but in a less PC way.
1 - they suck the life out of the wifes' tits
2 - you have to watch BoB the fricken Builder instead of match of the day
3 - Turkey Twizzlers and potato shapes for tea instead of T-Bone steak
4 - Pontins instead of Barbados
5 - You have to spend a fortune at Christmas on somebody who has no idea what's happening
6 - no more sex incase you wake the baby
7 - you can't get wasted without having to phone the babysitter every twenty minutes0 -

You forgot:
8 - no more sleep as the baby screams 14 times a night
9 - no more sex because the stiches haven't healed
10 - no more sex because the wife's pelvic floor has been compromised to the point where there's no point anymore..
11 - no more sex because you're both too tired to care anymore
12 - Eau de baby sick instead of Eau du male
13 - dirty nappies
14 - going grey, bald and barmy by age 40 because of all the aboveYou had me at your proper use of "you're".0 -

15 - you won't keep the mother-in-law away.0 -

I had ladies problems a couple of years ago, my periods were horrific and I'd bleed/be in pain for a couple of hours every day for about 3 months without a break! I was diagnosed with pcos, luckily the depo has worked wonders and I love it but if it didn't work I'd have happily let them rip my bits out but there is no way they would....rather let me suffer.
In July I had a cervical cancer scare, I decided there and then that if it came back showing there was cancer I'd have not bothered with chemo I'd have let them take my womb etc.0 -

What is wrong with simply answering: 'I don't want children' or 'I can't have children'?
Am I missing something? :cool:0 -

Its a conversation killer, best avoided.
"So do you have kids?"
"No, I can't"
"Oh...so, erm, cats?"
Its worth remembering that you are enquiring about the state of somebody's reproductive organs and how they intend to use them, which is generally frowned upon.0 -

It's not something I have ever asked and I'm never likely to either.
I thought this thread was about stopping people in their tracks, so it would work to give a very simple, no nonsense reply then, wouldn't it?0 -
I give an honest reply: I don't like children. I prefer dogs.
For me, there's nothing more to say than that really.4.30: conduct pigeon orchestra...0
