Apart from that, having kids just because I <i>might</i> get bored - that sounds a little extreme to me. To make life interesting and challenging, I can take up paragliding, learn pottery, go back to school, or, if I want to work with people, take up a social cause. After all, I will have all that money to get me through those. Your explanation is no-go with me - it sounds to me like using a 16-ton weight to drive in a nail. It does the job, but I'd use a hammer. And why make life harder for yourself when there are hundreds of people out there who'd gladly do it for you without asking?

I think the society has become too honest, of late. To take the honesty slightly forward, this is my take: You have no kids after marriage (I dont know what ur take on marriage is, so I am assuming). You dont have any trouble of bringing up your children, no expenses, no worries, no going behind the kids, just pure bliss.... You have a good techie job, you have nice salary, you have car, you have flat, you have everything. Fast forward. When you are 35, you could even retire. Then what? Pure and perfect boredom. Now imagine, you have two kids (of course a wife). You have the same techie job, nice salary, flat and car. Now do you think, whatever salary you have, would be lasting more than a month? You have a huge money crunch. You have even become broke(assume). At this point, can you retire? Forget retirement, can you even think of this? Now you either work harder and smarter or you become an enterprener. Its ok, if you work harder and smarter, but enterprenership isnt exactly about a boring life.... Then you decide to bring up your kids into ideal and responsible human beings. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Fast forward. 65 years. You fight with your kids to stay home. Atleast, after so many years, you still fight, you still keep your life interesting, you make your life more challenging and meaningful. BCOS otherwise, its plain boredom. "Necessity is the mother of all invention" If there is no need, there is nothing. Life is nothing. We choose to make it interesting and challenging by having kids. Was that honest enough?

Isheeta: Couldn't have put it any better myself. And same here, my niece is going to be a surrogate daughter to me. Jabberwock: Gah. *headdesk* We must formulate a counter-attack. But it won't work, will it? Aish: *Sigh*

Believe me, the "That's what you think <i>now</i>" will never stop, not even when you're a wise old 30. People who need to play the you're-too-immature card simply never quit.

I like to tell people who go on too presumptuously about how much more adult and responsible they are for having decided to have their own children that they're bloody well selfish; that if they weren't, they'd be doing something for all the homeless orphans in the world and, ohhh, ADOPT. Their insistence on the biological continuity is quite telling. I have decided that I will make a terrific aunt. That has to be 'worth' something, too, yes?
