I truly admire people who choose not to have kids. If you don't want them, then you shouldn't "have" to have them. Having them was never a question for us, just weren't expecting as many as we got. Two for my dad's siblings never had kids, one of hubby's brothers and wife didn't have kids, and one of my cousins and his wife didn't have kids.

But I could probably come up with reasons to sway you the other way if I need to.

It's going to take more than tax credits to sway me, Birdy.

when we had kids people kept saying "well the tax credits are awesome." too bad they phase out so two working parents don't get them

Not to mention it costs a lot more than 6k a year to raise two kids.

Kids don't eat kibble and chew on bones?

You can teach them to bake. They also can mow the lawn, do the dishes, put clothes away, and even babysit other kids you have.

You guys are just reinforcing to me why not to have kids.

We got two solid seasons of MBB in with Z. It's just now she will want to move more. So it just depends on how willing you are to be distracted or your wife distracted from watching the game. I think I have a three year spotty streak for games coming.

Don't forget wiping everything with a wipe! It's fun to watch that go on. Everything gets 'cleaned'.

Correction, Mrs. Pants would have to teach them to bake.

I can also pay neighborhood kids to do that out of my "don't need this money for the baby" money and still come out ahead.

Guys, I get it. You all think Nickels and I would have adorable babies. But unless something has changed in the last six months and her feelings on it no longer align with mine, it ain't happening. Y'all are going to have to get your RTT baby fix from wxman and CG.

And GTO and Mtown right? I mean, at that point they're just being greedy wanting you to have kids

I forgot mtown had a kid! GTO clearly doesn't show enough pictures of his afro'd baby to satisfy the women here.

My prof not coming to class story is pretty good...

Modern American Authors...lit class obviously. The professor had taught at the college forever, and basically held an honorary doctorate. (Nobody flinched if you called him "Dr." instead of "Mr.") I plain didn't study for a test...or barely did. We all get in class, and professor isn't there. We wait...5 minutes...10 minutes...I say hopefully to the girl I sit next to "Maybe there won't be class today," to which she replied "Don't say that! I studied hard for this test."

After about 15 minutes, someone comes in to say there isn't any class, and the test will be the next day.

I got a B+ on that test. *whew!*

Mine aren't babies anymore, but I've done my part to make cute Cyclone fans. And they have a strong dislike for anything with a tiger hawk logo.

It was a race to who would get there first between me and CG.
