Kids

[-james-]

Isn't it about time there was a thread for this?

I do not have kids. Do you have kids? Do you want to have kids? Do you regret having kids?

Thank you

[niko_cee]

4 here.

No [specific] regrets.

Obviously life changes somewhat, but there's probably a one-in-one-out equilibrium to it all.

[Dark Soldier]

Mo kids. Never want kids. Nor does the missus, its a great dynamic.

[phonics]

Can’t find someone who wants to have sex with me let alone bear my child.

[Pepe]

I got one. She's good banter. Would get more.

[Giggles]

No kids and once I passed 30 I was never going to have them - nobody should.

No regrets at all, I can’t stand anyone else’s.

[Baz]

I have kids. One of each colour. As tiring as they are, they’re both class (which was never in doubt, based on me being their dad.)

I’m awaiting a vasectomy appointment in November. #25wanks :youpi:

[Shindig]

No kids but babysitting the nephew gives me an idea what I'd be in for. He's alright. Kids are alright.

[Mike]

I’ve a 1 year old daughter and a 5 year old step daughter who are both top. They are the most exhausting thing in the world though, currently in Portugal with them and haven’t had a minute to actually sunbathe, thank god for iPads though. Don’t want anymore.

[Ben]

I have one child. Born a few months ago. I never thought it would be for me and was pretty anxious about it all before she arrived but it’s amazing. Lost my gym and social life pretty much but I don’t care.

[Spikey M]

I can’t stand anyone else’s.

I have 2 of my own that I love and I still can't stand anyone else's.

[mo]

Got two, 3 and 5. 3 has some additional needs - speech and language development is behind, some gross/fine motor skills too. Possibly autistic but a diagnosis is years away. It adds another layer of difficulty to it, but he is class and has been making huge leaps in his communication.

We got a puppy a few months ago to help with his needs as he is dog obsessed, so he's got that going for him too :cool:

To answer the question, I don't regret having had children. I was a pretty boring bastard before children anyway so I haven't lost out on much really.

[Ian]

Don't have any, always felt like it was a thing where if I was with someone who had strong feelings about it either way I'd just go with the flow. Probably at a point now where anybody I was with longer term would either have them already or never wanted them in the first place so yeah.

[Spikey M]

Doesn't everyone have atleast 3 kids by the age of 17 up there?

[Offshore Toon]

I like kids and wouldn't be against it, but if it's gonna happen I want to get my money right first. If I make a milli before 40, then I'll go for it.

[Kikó]

I've got a ten month old girl and she's great. Didn't really have a great drive to disrupt the status quo when I didn't have one but now she's here, it's funny how quickly you adapt and change. Watching them develop is genuinely amazing.

[randomlegend]

Don't have kids. Both of us have always felt like we will probably want them at some point, but that point has yet to arrive. I do wonder if it never will.

[Don]

Still find the idea of wanting them baffling. Yes, they're cute and can be fun and yes life is pointless so they at least add some temporary relief to the monotony but the cost (physical and mental rather than financial) is ridiculous.

That's not to say I won't have them but I'm certainly not waiting for it in excitement. Ideally I'd have spread my seed by now and had aboit 10 kids by now and left the 3 or 4 women to deal with them but this restrictive society doesn't allow for that kind of freedom.

[Foe]

None and no desire.

I also came to the realisation I prefer being single in the summer so I guess I’m destined to be a loner.

My sister has a 14 month old and she’s class, but I think that because I get to walk away from the meltdowns and my exposure to her doesn’t impact my sleep. I think I’m too lazy and set in my ways to have a kid. Maybe that will change at some point. But if it doesn’t, I’m not sure I’m that bothered.

[Magic]

I have a ten year old daughter. Only thing I regret is the cunt of a mother. Don't want any more but my childless partner does. :happycry:

[Spikey M]

Atleast she's going to be shithot at self defense.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Not going to happen for me, but it'd be nice to be an uncle at least.

[Manc]

None for me atm but definitely in the offing. Getting the house/finances sorted is the current priority.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

No danger.

Still get the bollocks 'oh you'll change your mind eventually!' but the desire has never been there and I never find myself thinking about it.

It's only mildly irritating but I feel for the folk who want kids but can't have them who get the same shite.

[Ben]

It's only mildly irritating but I feel for the folk who want kids but can't have them who get the same shite.

Finding out your cock actually works is a massive relief.

[Giggles]

A working cock is one that can do the business with no risk of spawn. Everyone should be sterilised at 30.

That said, I wish I hadn’t expressed that sentiment one night over pints in front of the wife’s brother in law who had his last one at 49.

[Gray Fox]

3 for me with the youngest being 6.

Got snipped 5 years ago too.

Why are you so against people having kids over 30?

[Giggles]

It’s just wrong. Some rapey grandad looking fella down at the school with his kid just warps them. If families were normal then the world would be normal.

[randomlegend]

Is giving off rapey grandad vibes in your 40s an Irish thing?

[Giggles]

It’s just a thing.

[SvN]

Outside of council estates and caravan sites, granddads are usually older than their 30s or 40s.

[wullie]

Our daughter was three in June. I found it very hard adjusting at first and she would only breastfeed so I was a bit of a sleepwalking spectator for a good while, so while my wife misses that baby stage I couldn't wait to get past it and now it's a lot more fun. We like the idea of another but I do also think it would kill us so one is enough.

[Spikey M]

Most people are lucky to move out of their parents house before 30 these dads, never mind start a family.

[Kikó]

Which dads?

[Spikey M]

30 year old ones, obviously.

[Boydy]

Don't do that to your child. Have another.

[wullie]

It's not so much a choice we've made as a financial impossibility to begin with really.

[Boydy]

Well when you've only got one child's income to pay your nursing home fees, you'll regret it.

[igor_balis]

Don't do that to your child. Have another.

Hey I'm an only child, and...yeah, fair point.

[Boydy]

So am I. I'm speaking from experience.

[igor_balis]

So am I. I'm speaking from experience.

Yeah but a moany bastard like you would be urging people not to have more kids lest they repeat the misery of your experience as someone with siblings.

[Offshore Toon]

As if siblings are always best mates. Just have one and then siphon down your shared empire to make them a king.

One king > two peasants.

[mo]

I think siblings may work better depending on the age gap? There's 8 years between me and my sister, so while she was able to help out while I was a baby and we started out really close, she was a hormonal teenage wreck when I was an annoying little tosser.

Neither of us has really changed in the following 30 years.

[Boydy]

As if siblings are always best mates. Just have one and then siphon down your shared empire to make them a king.

One king > two peasants.

Who said they were always best mates?

[Kikó]

Seriously rough few days. First a fever spiking up to 39.4 followed by two further nights of rotten broken sleep. The wife is in zombie Mode at the moment. I don't think I'm far off.

[7om]

Don’t worry about fever numbers, mate. 39 and 40 look scary but don’t worry about them. Regular calpol and nurofen.

[randomlegend]

Truth. Not that the NHS fever advice page agrees.

[Kikó]

We've been giving her calpol but they don't sell it here so it's contrabanded from the times we visited home. Same as lemsip.

She's been good during the past two days so hoping she's through the worst of it. Thanks for the advice!

[Spikey M]

Bad parent here. We never bother taking the temperature of ours. Paracetamol and ibuprofen. Lots of water. As much sleep as they can get. Jobs a good'n.

[Spikey M]

You can't buy calpol (or an equivalent) in Germany? Why? Is it prescription only or something?

[Kikó]

They don't really do liquid paracetamol preferring suppositories (of course they do) for children. There's lemsip equivalent but it tastes like crap apparently.

[Spikey M]

:|

I'd offer to post you some but I imagine she'd be over it by the time it got there.

[Kikó]

The in laws are visiting for Christmas so we're getting them to bring some and then we will pick some up in the UK in Jan. Luckily we had two from earlier in the year when we were in the UK(and she wasn't ill)

[7om]

I can only imagine what it must be like to look after a poorly kid and you can’t dose them up to the eyeballs. My condolences.

[Kikó]

The whisky is still effective.

[Spikey M]

I can only imagine what it must be like to look after a poorly kid and you can’t dose them up to the eyeballs. My condolences.

Or worse still, you can, but they have to take a bullet in the arse.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, my eldest pathologically hates anything sweet, so calpol was never a goer with her. Administering the bullet a truly horrific experience for all involved.

[Mike]

We cheat and stick it in her milk. Ibuprofen never stays down so we don’t do that.

[Lofty]

I was never too bothered about having kids, I can see the pros and cons though I am smug when my mate with two curses me and my vast free time to do whatever I want. We have left it in the lap of the gods regarding contraception and so far the man from Del Monte, he say no.

[Pepe]

My second daughter was born yesterday. :cool:

[Waffdon]

Congratulations, shagger

[Lofty]

Good effort Pepe you big stud.

[Boydy]

Congrats, Pepe. How old's the first one now?

[Pepe]

Just turned two on Saturday.

[7om]

Pepe :cool:

Congratulations mate

[Dark Soldier]

Pepe the spunk machine g'wan lad

[Pepe]

Thank you lads. Wouldn't have done it without you.

[Mike]

Well in! Hope it was an easy birth, I’ve still got PTSD from the pins and needles I got in my leg from sleeping in a hospital chair!

[Kikó]

Well done Pepe and welcome Pepito.

[Pepe]

Well in! Hope it was an easy birth, I’ve still got PTSD from the pins and needles I got in my leg from sleeping in a hospital chair!

Two pushes and she was out. I got splashed in the process. :moop:

There is a proper bed for me over here. Room is massive.

[Lofty]

NHS in the mud.

[Magic]

I was setting up Ticketmaster app on my fiancée's phone and it took me to a web page to log in annoyingly. The website it replaced was a blog about finding your step-children annoying and what to do about it. :D

I haven't told her I saw it obviously but it made me chuckle.

[Danny]

2 weeks and 2 days early but officially joined the Dad club yesterday.

[Boydy]

Congratulations!

[Ben]

Well done mate, enjoy it. It's mint.

[Danny]

Cheers. Went from 0 to 60 real quick yesterday.

[Shindig]

Enjoy whatever quiet time you get. Congrats.

[Lofty]

Congratulations!

[niko_cee]

Turned up the day after father's day, mugging you off already.

[Pepe]

Danny. :cool:

[7om]

Congratulations Danny.

[Mike]

Congratulations. It’s the most exhausting and disgusting thing, but it’s also utterly amazing.

My daughter has just been through a two week phase of being up for 3 hours in the night. Last night though she went to sleep at 7:30 and woke up 5:45, the first time she’s slept through since she was born.

[Kikó]

Congrats Danny.

We're going through a phase where our daughter is waking up crying at 11 and then about 5/6am. 6 is ok for me as I can function but 5 can fuck off. We're trying to do the weaning as well but that's proving harder then planned, she loves the breasts.

[Manc]

Don't we all.

[Giggles]

Kikos, the wife's, or Ding Ding's?

[mo]

Congrats Danny.

I'd be open to having another kid but I'm not sure I can do the fucked up sleep patterns and pure exhaustion that creates.

[Baz]

Get your vasectomy booked lads.

[Gray Fox]

Congrats Danny. Remember there are two of you and one of him/her. Tag in and out for sleep with the Mrs.


Get your vasectomy booked lads.

This was the best decision I made. The worlds gone to shit financially since and no more worrying if x y or z method is going to work or not.

[randomlegend]

https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/archderm.1995.01690210094016

Progesterone implant is more effective than a vasectomy.

[randomlegend]

Oh and congrats Danny, sorry :D

[Baz]

https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/archderm.1995.01690210094016

Progesterone implant is more effective than a vasectomy.

Needs replacing every three years though. The snip is one and done.

I’m currently in the dry spell in the run up to my big wank on Sunday, to be submitted for inspection. :baz:

[Danny]

Cheers all.

He’s been a good little lad so far. Hoping we can go home today.

[7om]

Danny 300k in debt already. Thoughts and prayers.

[niko_cee]

And that's probably just the doctor bills to get the little blighter out.

[Baz]

Okay, who tf is Ms Rachel?

[Danny]

Danny 300k in debt already. Thoughts and prayers.


And that's probably just the doctor bills to get the little blighter out.

Missed these. Max out of pocket of 7k for the year for the "family". :happycry: Cant imagine without insurance.

Time to get everything checked out by year end.

4 weeks on Monday. Flying by.

Good luck lads. :uhoh:

[Ben]

My daughter is coming up 2 next month and we've planned for her to start nursery in September (15 free hours). My parents are permanent childcare (wooo) and are always taking her to various groups to bring on her learning and socialising.

However, is it worth me paying the £60 a day to send her to the nursery from now until September? We'd only do one day a week to get her used to it but with this being our first, I've no idea if it'll be worth the outlay considering she's around other kids nearly every day as it is.

Cheers dads.

[Mike]

I would, if only to get her used to being taken to a place and left there, rather that someone she knows staying.

[Lofty]

No help here sorry. Interesting reading back though, still no kids here. Next door neighbours just had one, and we went to a wedding at the weekend where we were peppered about it to a ridiculous amount by strangers.

I don't really know what I want, I think I am a fairly selfish person and looking after the dog is about the limit of my ability to care for something that can't care for itself. 38 now, so by the Giggles rule I'm past it anyway and the older I get I do think do I want a child growing up when I'm 50 as I'm a physical wreck now.

Wife has a few health issues which have contributed to it being a non starter but recent events have wobbled her resolve on how bothered she is about it all.

I know people say about kids looking after you when your old but really it's a load of shite, my stepdad is old and ill and his biological children don't give a shit. One of them sent him a text for Father's Day, the other just a card. Same with my in laws, neither of their sons will pick up the slack when the time comes.

If by some miracle I don't die before i'm old and infirm and I'm on my own I'll just go to vegas with the remains of my pension on a hedonistic suicide mission, one way trip.

Cheers dads.

Just a word of warning about only doing the 15 hours. We found that going in for only 2 days per week was quite detrimental. Ours struggled to get into a routine as there wasn’t enough continuity with so few hours. If finances allow, I’d look at sending them in an extra day per week in September.

[Magic]

Mine is going in to high school in August. :(

[Spikey M]

I'd let her enjoy a relationship with her Grandparents for as long as possible.

Also agree with 7om on the 15 hours thing. Most kids struggle with going to nursery at first. Usually because it involves being left alone with strangers. 2 days a week isn't really enough time for them to build relationships, so you're likely to face a battle getting her in.

[niko_cee]

Surely it's more to do with the kid. Admittedly it was pre-school not nursery, but my eldest just breezed in and didn't bat an eyelid/look back, and then the subsequent ones became progressively more clingy and disastrous.

We were quite lucky that they were all born in the summer and so went to actual school having just turned 4.

Cheers dads.

Both of my daughters have been full-time in nursery and, after an initial few days of wailing at the door, have loved it. The fact they were full-time from the start did give them a good routine immediately which helped, but they do a ton of activities and do learn a lot being around other children and having group playtime.

Is it just the 15 free hours you will be utilising or are you going to chip in for an extra day a week? Like others have said, it will take longer to get into that routine if she's in and out.

[Spikey M]

Some kids manage it easier than others, sure. But for the ones that struggle, 2 days a week is just going to prolong the agony.

[Gray Fox]

If you have the cash regardless, then do it. The more social interaction kids get at a young age the better they are for it and as Mike says, she'll need to get used to you/grandparents not being there.

Being around other kids in the family/friend group is not the same as the kids at Nursery that she'll likely not have met before.

[SvN]

Our two were both in nursery full time from quite a young age - 12 months for the first one, 9 months for the second. It's been superb for their social development, but not for our bank balance.

[Kikó]

Mines in full time nursery when there are enough teachers to cover. €112 a month - Germany😍

[Ben]

Ours is just starting the two year old tantrums. Do they deal with it well or will I end up blacklisted because I obviously have the worst kid going?

[Kikó]

You'll probably find your kid behaves better with others than yourself 😂

[thommo]

They'll be fine with it. If mine are anything to go by, they'll act good as gold there and save it all up for you at home.

[Spikey M]

Yup. As above.

[Baz]

My parents are permanent childcare (wooo) and are always taking her to various groups to bring on her learning and socialising.Milk that for all it’s worth. Sounds like your kids doing fine, and it’s free. Nursery bleeds my bank balance dry every month.

[CJay]

In Northern Ireland official nursery is for children aged 3. Based on my experience with our two (one just finishing nursery now and going into P1 in September, and the other just finishing P2) is that it is more than sufficient to prepare them, assuming they are being well-looked after during the days e.g. being read to, physically active, doing art, etc. My two only did 2.5 hours of nursery each day.

If you have free childcare through family and they are happy to continue providing I would save your money. You child won't fall behind at that age, and neither will other children get ahead.

Is it common in England to send your child to 'nursery' from such a young age? Is it essentially just daycare while the parents work?

[SvN]

Yes, the "nursery" we're talking about here is childcare. Some are standalone, others are attached to a primary school.

[niko_cee]

Are any other children rustlers out there getting bombarded with shit, usually through schools, promoting the services of absolute charlatans like this mob (https://www.actionyourpotential.org/)? Think these shitbags (https://www.facefamilyadvice.co.uk/) charge £24 a session to spoonfeed you their still warm faeces.

*shakes fist at the sky*

[Kikó]

We don't get any of that nonsense over here. We do have a lantern night coming up which will be small talk with other parent wankers.

[Pepe]

Current daycare costs about $35k per year for my two girls. :happycry:

[niko_cee]

Probably cheaper than having to give half your salary to the government and still having to pay the bulk of the costs for comprehensive childcare.

[Kikó]

I'm paying €112 a month for nursery.

[Mike]

We got the stuff through to move to 30 hours free from January.

[Danny]

Current daycare costs about $35k per year for my two girls. :happycry:

Jesus. Ours is 16 month and we are thinking of getting him in part time. They want 200 a week for less than 20 hrs. Probably worth it for him to get a lot more time around other kids but it’s a madness overall.

[Pepe]

Yes it is wild out there. Ours are full time in a poncey Montessori one, but all places around here cost about the same. Well, all but one, which I put them in initially, but we quickly found out why it was cheaper. Atrocious place.

[Danny]

:D

One near us like that. We lived really close to it for a few years and I swear every time we drive back past its got a new name / new ownership sign.

[Spikey M]

My kids school have decided the kids have to "dress up like a firework" for Guy Fawkes Day.

What? How? You insane cunts.

Short of flicking some paint onto a black t-shirt like a Primark Andy Warhol I'm not really too sure what they're looking for?

[Spikey M]

They'd have to go to hospital then and I've heard paediatricians are a bunch of nonces.

[niko_cee]

All in black with one of those shiny, foil sparkly wig things = a sparkler.

Glad not to have been blighted by this initiative.

[Kikó]

There's a list of chores for our lantern night at the kita for parents to volunteer for like putting the food out, dismantling the furniture after, washing the dishes. As if it's not already a massive pain in the arse in going.

[niko_cee]

Can you just not go? Is this some sort of ptfa cult?

[Kikó]

We never go to any of them so it feels like we should try. But yeah obviously no obligation.

[Spikey M]

Wife's just come breezing in and told me she thinks she might be pregnant. Feeling sick, light headed, same feeling as last time.

RIP to both of you.

[SvN]

I know a guy in his late 40s that divorced his wife last year and got with one of his employees that's in her mid 20s. A few weeks ago he told me she was expecting. I'm sure it will all end well.

[Spikey M]

If she is pregers I'm basically Lofty's dad.

Poor kids about to be named Spaceship Flowerpower

[Magic]

I mean I'm only 35, she's 37 and this will be her first.

I've got a 12 year old daughter to help babysit, yay.

[SvN]

I'm sure your 12 year old won't resent her new half-sibling at all.

[Magic]

I'm sure your 12 year old won't resent her new half-sibling at all.

Weird thing to say. Trauma?

[niko_cee]

I doubt she would.

Congrats and commiserations fellas. Always think parents with big age gaps between kids are brave. You forget what it's like in those early years. The bad bits at least.

[Lofty]

If she is pregers I'm basically Lofty's dad.

Poor kids about to be named Spaceship Flowerpower

He's now 9 and my dad is 62, fucked and walking with a stick.

Luckily they live far enough away for it to be my problem.

[Kikó]

I'm 8 weeks away from baby 2 arriving. Mix of fear, the unknown (it's a boy) and excitement. Good luck spikes and magic.

[Luke Emia]

Fuck that.

I’m a few years older than my wife(I’m 40, she’s 35) and I said to her a couple of years ago 40 was about my cut off. Don’t come to me when I’m 42/43 and say you want kids as I don’t want to be a really old dad.

[Boydy]

Some of you sound a bit mental. 40 isn't dead ffs.

[Spikey M]

You've upset old man Boydy now lads. I hope you're happy with yourselves.

[Pepe]

I'm 39 and I'd be ok having another one in the next few years age-wise. My youngest one is such a drama queen that it is turning me off the whole idea though. The first one is ace.

[mo]

I'm getting the snip this year (just turned 39). The window has closed - kids are 8 and 6, youngest is neurodiverse and has speech and language difficulties (gestalt language processor, if interested). So although 8 y/o would be great with a baby, she's already a young carer for 6 y/o and it just wouldn't be fair on anyone.

[Yevrah]

Some of you sound a bit mental. 40 isn't dead ffs.

Unless you're rich and aren't doing much of the parenting 40 is a rubbish age to have a child. If it's your first, even worse, as you'll have built a life without any of the hassle of having one in it.

[Magic]

Literally everyone says 30+ is the worst age to have a child. I'd actually agree. Dreading it.

Edit: but my partner is amazing

[Ben]

Spikey shagging at 40 years old. What a hero.

[Pepe]

I don't know. When I was in my twenties, there was a lot of stuff that I wanted to do/see. Now I am ok dedicating most of my free time to my kids. I am also much more financially stable.

Spikey shagging at 40 years old. What a hero.

There are gels for that now.

Agree. I'd rather be a parent now than at 25.

I'm getting the snip this year (just turned 39). The window has closed - kids are 8 and 6, youngest is neurodiverse and has speech and language difficulties (gestalt language processor, if interested). So although 8 y/o would be great with a baby, she's already a young carer for 6 y/o and it just wouldn't be fair on anyone.

What are you feeding him?

[Spikey M]

Not pregnant.

And breathe.

Magic :cool:

[Magic]

Run away with me Magic. We'll have wild adventures and they can raise the kids as sisterwives.

(Congrats)

Back to the drawing board.

[Spikey M]

Back to the drawing board.

Maybe not. Now I'm getting the big; "are you happy or sad I'm not pregnant?", "I know it wouldn't be ideal but...", "Natalie's still got the cot we gave them".

:face:

That bitch never returned it?

[Gray Fox]

Get yourself booked in for the snip before it's too late.
