I think that after Law school, I may settle down and start a family. I won't be too young after I'm done, and if I get a job in a law firm, I can support my family, and work around hours so I can be home with my kids.

I quit my job as assistant coach at Leyland, I was tired of that place, so I want to get through law school, get a job and have kids. I think I can pull it off but I'm mortified by what lies ahead of me if I have a girl though, yeesh. :roll:

I can imagine you as a dad, I just don't think it should be on your to do list just yet Keivan. ;)

I say go for it if you are able to support them.

wow... you know, beeing able to support them isn't enough.

Having kids requires a LOT of attention, sleepless nights, a lot of stress and psychic problems as well.

I know... I helped raising my two little brothers who are 4 years old. I did 60% of the raising, and it's extremely hard work!

Now hold on a minute, I'm sure Keivan knows that, he's not an idiot.

He's worked with kids a lot, at daycares, his two younger brother and sister, and used to be a babysitter. Now obviously Keiv doesn't mean NOW, but settling down, is something we've both had good discussions about. He's mentioned attention, caring, but again it's not....*at least it better not be* something he's planning to do anytime soon, in case anyone gets started with that.

Not really what I meant, I just meant since I'll be making good money, we won't be living on the streets or mooching off of mine or my wife's parents.

Stop the presses.

Yes, but that didn't stop my parents from having me or my three siblings now did it? Yes I understand it requires work, a lot of my friends have told me how much of a headache it is when you have kids, some were unexpected, others weren't. That they require so much attention the first year and a half, then you can settle down a bit. Obviously I'll ask my parents for full advice when I finish up with Law School, but I'm a responsible person who can handle whatever is thrown at me, and I'll only get stronger mentally over the years.

I can imagine, but again, that doesn't mean it's impossible, and it doesn't matter to me at all. Hard work isn't a down side to me. I mean these are my kids we're talking about, so the amount of work required to raise my own future kids will be unlimited, and that means nothing to me.

Yeah. Kamran is. :P

However none of which were babies or newborns. But as I've stated, what should it matter the work load? You all can't possibly think that I believe once I become a father, it's all fun and games, do you?

But it doesn't have to be all about the work of raising them. You said that you'd have ours to where you'd be able to see your children...good. You need to make sure that your there with them as much as possible, have fun, and raise them right, besides that, I see no problem.

Oh, and make sure there gamers!! :D

As long as you've met the right girl, got a good income, a nice big house and are stable in all other fields, I'd say go for it. I know I'm only 14, but sometimes I can imagine myself having a baby. I love babies. For me, if a baby woke me up at 4:00AM, I'd be happy to attend to him or her.

So yeah, make sure you're in a stable relationship, got everything sorted out and have a chat about it with your girlfriend. (Throughout this whole post I've been assuming you do have one, so if you don't, well, you know what you have to do first :P)

I have no relationship, a few months ago my fiance and I called off getting married, so I'm staying a bachelor for a while.

thats cool be stable though, i hate parents who are unstable

I have thought that one over before ive concluded for me i really dont want children to much work ,to much money, i wouldnt be able to travel a lot like i want to, plus im not really the fatherly type

As it is my folks are on the verge of divorce so I'm not in any hurry to have kids yet.

If you feel you are ready, then more than likely you are, but always be a good father regardless of what happens good or bad. Your kids are always going to look to you and look for you. :)

Kids change you life for ever you will only no what real love is when you have kids.

I have two children one girl and a boy and every day they test me and make me into the man i want to be. When you are ready man go for it.

If you think it is the right choice then go ahead :)

All I can say is I'd be a horrible father because I'm a lazy bastard who can't stand kids and would do anything to avoid being around them or having to deal with them.

Last time I babysat my nephew who is five months old I exchanged screams back and forth with him coupled with an array of cursing and multiple threats slung at him. After that I gave him a bottle, put him to sleep and that was the end of the day for him.

But yeah. I can't fucking stand kids and as soon as I have any on accident I'm buying a rifle.

Uh-huh, once again, you continue to grace us all with such insightful opinions man. Good job, Mr. KKK. :thumb:

They let you have kids in the West Wing of the Psycho Ward?
