I need to know
I don't want kids; I do know I'd be such a terrible parent. However this hasn't stopped other people [guiltless fiends!] reproducing.
Will I give in to the biological urge? I do wonder if it really is built in, seeing as it is really our only truly useful function/purpose [though that's another debate eh].
They say bitches always need to have a litter or else they remain unsettled and odd for the rest of their lives. IS THAT ME??

Recent ICQ conversation:

penelope: hoh, nobody's EVER going to impregnate ME
penelope: EVER EVER EVER
penelope: never ever
r: you will change your mind. When I was your age I had no intention of ever having children. When you see all yoour friends settling down, suddenly kiddies seem like a lovely idea.
penelope: no!
penelope: settling down = giving up!
r: we all have to give up some day
r: sigh
penelope: no!
r: having children = productive, wonderful, warm, nurturing.
penelope: NO!
penelope: having children = chopping one's hands off and blindly stumping them about trying to do what one used to do [i.e. have fun]
penelope: or something

is my friend correct??? he IS 8 years older than me..

so YOU don't want kids and this hasn't stopped YOUR FRIENDS from having them?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I JUST IMPREGNATED YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is your friend R. Kelly?

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I got told this eight years ago too; some of my friends are working on their third kid. I still have no intention of having one.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

teeny! MWAH!
that is helpful.

I sort of wish my friend was R Kelly.

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

[that would make this thread more interesting, see]

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

you can't get impregnated from R. Kelly peeing on you

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

having kids != "settling down"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I do wonder if it really is built in, seeing as it is really our only truly useful function/purpose [though that's another debate eh].

Yeah, you could say it's "debatable ." *smacks you so hard upside the head your eyes go cross*

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm 28 fwiw.

Eugene Chadbourne toured with his kid.

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

but how much pussy did he get? huh?

teeny! oh my god!

When I saw Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers they had like a half-dozen little Marleys running around ON STAGE.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

They say bitches always need to have a litter or else they remain unsettled and odd for the rest of their lives.

I'm amazed at the lunacy of this idea.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

but seriously! female cats, too! I don't mean "bitches" as in er humans..

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

As for the purpose thing, that's me being all woebegone and bitter.

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

PS: ow?

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

are you kidding, teeny?! everybody knows that the men of Shockabilly were famous for shackin' up and chowin' down up & down the eastern seaboard.

god, the number of puns in this post alone is enough to even make ME ashamed.

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I only slapped you because you were being all hysterical.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

And, um, you're neither a dog nor a cat.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Now she's in pain! And she's still hysterical!

― Allyzay, Friday, 7 November 2003 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ah right.
yeah that's wise.

and that also is true.

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

b-but.. think how many people give in

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Lots of women *want* to be mothers. They don't necessarily "give in" to the idea.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

oh lordy.
but do they want to because it's in-built?
the phrase 'broodiness' worries me.

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

You ain't got to be a woman to be a mutha anyhow!

― Huckleberry Mutha (Horace Mann), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

And the "maternal instinct" actually has a lot to do with social conditioning.

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I have more maternal instincts than a lot of women-with-kids I know.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure if I should be pround of that, now that I think 'bout it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree with the social conditioning thing.
the way people can feel Wrong if they're 35 and not married with kids.

[am not planning to get married either fwiw]

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Nickalicious, it's awesome that you have maternal instincts. It'll rub off on your son.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I've always held a strong belief that for me, motherhood is a vocation. If I'm called, I'm called. If I'm not, I'm not.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I think it's a very common and very patronizing thing to say "oh, it's just a phase, everyone wants kids eventually." Check out some of the child-free websites.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

What if you maybe (maybe) do want kids, but not YET, but your body is betraying your mind wrt biological limits so there's this semi-tangible deadline in the not so distant future? Dilemma.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Have a couple. If you don't like them, send them to live with relatives.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

or to the workhouses. they'll EARN their keep, i tell you!

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

If you don't like them, send them to live with relatives

To deserve this, they'd have to be the spawn of the devil himself.

You might be in luck; I hear The Devil is a big slut.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Hope the family's got the room then.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Sell them to yuppies as housepets.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

But like pot-bellied pigs, they grow and become a nuisance.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

But you can then train them to do manual labor.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd rather have a pot-bellied pig!!!!

oh wow

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Unfortunately, no kid of mine will ever be 'trainable'. This I know.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I will name all of my children Minion.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Legion.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

but see, there you go.. presuming you'll have kids!
if not, buy pot-bellied pigs and call them Minion. they'll make less mess I bet

and sulk less when [if] they reach 15

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I really do want a pot-bellied pig now though!!
snnfrfsnrffnh.squee!

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I think giving birth to a pot-bellied pig would be far more traumatic than giving birth to a child!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

But young goats are called kids right? That could happen.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I impregnate you with mayonnaise.

― nayo (nickalicious), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

well you don't have to do it so shaddarp.
though I think allowing a sow to pop one out might be much better..

haha kids [goat-wise] are called "killing" in swedish

does not bode well, think not.

― penelope (penelope), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

My slutty boyfriend Satan will not approve of your attitude.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"man-naise", more like it AM I RITE

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Friday, 7 November 2003 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Just get the hysterectomy and make it 100% sure.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Friday, 7 November 2003 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

There ain't nothing to gettin impregnated if that's all your looking for. . .

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 8 November 2003 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

This I know, this I fear..

― penelope (penelope), Saturday, 8 November 2003 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Not with that tone of voice you won't, there, little missy!

― Skottie, Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

BRAWL

― penelope (penelope), Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

If you ask nicely...

― Skottie, Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)
