Who has KIDS here?

[Karl O'Neill]

Just curious and was wondering what kind of numbers we have here on this forum.

Do you have any children?

How many?

Any adopted kids?

How do you find being a father or mother? are you good at it?

Thanks.

i picked 'Do pets count?' I have 2 feline kids :smile:

Cats count! We have two 'kids', two tabbies Psycho and Artemis.

My fiancee and I are planning on having kids once I graduate and after we get the house.

We've talked about it at length and we'll have a handful of our own kids but we want to adopt two or more (depending on how much I'm making)

There's an ungodly number of kids out there right now that need families but are older and are usually s.o.l when it comes to being adopted. Everyone wants a cute lil' baby so kids 5 and up are just overlooked.

She and I talked and we felt that we should 'go against the norm' as it were and adopt an older child.

[Karl O'Neill]

Cats do count. They need lots of looking after. They are very dependent.

Sounds very sensible to me. :) there are lots of children out there that need parents and dont have any.

Do you have any children?


How many?
I'm not sure, really. 1 for certain.


Any adopted kids?
No.


How do you find being a father or mother? are you good at it?
I enjoyed it. I'm sure my report card was mixed. Good and bad. I can only hope I spent more time on the good side.

[Slam_Bradley]

I have three boys. Ages 23, 13 and 8. Since I didn't know the 23 year old existed until he was 15, I'll reserve judgment on whether there are any more.

[Lone Ranger]

I have a boy who will be 4 at the end of November, and a girl who will be 2 in a couple of weeks.

This is what they look like:

I'm an ok father.

My wife is a great Mom. If you count me, she has 3 kids.

[rick]

27 year old twin daughters, a 20 year old daughter and an 8 year old granddaughter.

They're cuties.

You lucky dad you.

[RolandJP]

One kid, I mean Cat

I named her "Whitesox" because she hates the Cubs. Kidding of course.

[Ray R.]

One daughter, aged ten, one son, aged five.

[Lone Ranger]

One daughter, aged ten, one son, aged five.

10 going on 16, Ray?

[Lone Ranger]

You lucky dad you.

Thanks, Rick. They are good kiddoes 95% of time, drive me crazy the other 5%.

So it goes...

[o1pickleboy]

I have a 10 month old daughter. Too soon to know what my report card actually is.


As for any others hmmm I don't think so

[worstblogever]

Do we mean offspring, or can we just own the controversial movie from the 90s with Rosario Dawson in it?

[Ray R.]

10 going on 16, Ray?

10 going on 39.

She rips me apart almost as well as my ex-wife did.

But I loves her just the same.

[Ray R.]

Ew. You're on the list.

[mikekerr3]

Two sons 20 and 21,

[worstblogever]

Ew. You're on the list.

What? I didn't say I owned it.

That movie made me want to kick the asses of people I knew who just reminded me of some of its principal actors.

I'm just joshing you.

It's a pretty odious flick nonetheless. And I have a more-or-less open mind to watch most movies, no matter what the subject matter or amount of violent content. "Kids" made me ill.

[Kees_L]

Well yeah so no (opted for: do pets count?).

As yet I'm not much more than a goofball uncle I'm afraid.

Kind of pathetic huh. But maybe according to some it might be for the better.

And technically my biological clock is still ticking more or less.



Now I feel like a tapdance which is sorta rare :frown:.

[Naldo]

2 step-sons, 12 & 19.

The 12 year old starts 8th grade next week, the 19 year old is a sophomore at Drexel.

My 13 year old is in 8th grade. They're two weeks into school. First football game is next Tuesday.

[Arvandor]

No. And no pets. Kids drain your wallet and pets make a mess.


Or is it the other way round?

[Lone Ranger]

Logan starts Junior Kindergarten next week.

Hard to believe.

[section 8]

I see no baby goats on this thread.

Seriously, I don't like kids, I guess I'm one of those people who has to have a kid before I can understand,
Besides, society would not benefit from ME as a role model

[Asa]

Me 19 & 12. My daughter and I travel alot together. I have pets tooo. Luv the kids! don't know what I would have done without them. Accuiring them wasn't easy, miscarages where abundance, and hospital stays were rocky. They made it though and soo did I. My Miracles.:smile:

[The Black Guardian]

Do you have any children?
Yes.
How many?
One... that I know of. Men can rarely be sure of these things.
Any adopted kids?
No.
How do you find being a father or mother?
I didn't find it. It found me.:tongue:

Seriously, there's never been anything that I've loved so much as I've loathed it.
are you good at it?
I suppose so. Kid has survived 16 (almost 17) years without serious physical or psychological damage, and likewise for myself.

And two cats and a dog.

[Corrina]

Question: why the separate question for adopted kids?

Answer:
four kids, daughter 16, son 14, twin son & daughter who are ten.

Also, one dog & four cats.

I know. I don't know WHAT I was thinking adding the dog.

[Gary_B]

My wife and I succeeded in our plan never to have children.

Right now we are between cats. The plan is to get two kittens in the new year.

[Karl O'Neill]

Question: why the separate question for adopted kids?



Heh Corrina,I do not know why I separated them.

No harm meant.:smile:

[Michael P]

Not since I was 8.

What? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said "KEDS."

[Serik]

My plan is to die childless and penniless, having avoided the former and spending all of the latter.

That, for better or worse, is really my only life plan to date :rolleyes:

[Puma]

Two cats: Fergus & Rupert

One 'library' son: a fifteen year old that adopted me when he was twelve.

[MacQuarrie]

Daughter, age 22, Son, age 19, Daughter, age 13.

All are perfect.

I think I did okay in the dad department. They may disagree.

[K'Nort]

I have pets but I just voted 'No, not yet.'

[Gilda Dent]

Daughter, age 3, adopted, just the one so far.

Becoming a mother was one of the best decisions I've made.

[veracity]

I chose pets but that's because I refuse to have kids biologically. I might adopt, but at 28, I don't feel ready to make the decision yet. So for now, my pets are my children. And I love them as such. If I do adopt, I only want one.

[Bouncing Boy]

I have a step-daughter who no longer lives with us. We also have two cats.

[Mermaid]

one 14 yr old girl

three mice

one cat

I swing from being "the best mommy in the World" to the "Worst Mommy in the World" depending on whether it's pocket money day.

If I do adopt, I plan on adopting an older child, too. Like around 8-9 or above. Just because they're not babies doesn't mean they're not special in their own right. Because they deserve love just as much. And frankly, I want a kid with a personality already. I also am opposed to dirty diapers, teething, and sleepless nights.

[Punchy]

One little 2 1/2 year old boy. A real cutie. Looks like his mom luckily.

[Aaron Kashtan]

I have a number of children, insofar as zero is a number.

[Paradox]

I have no children, pets or even goats at the present time. I'm pretty sure kid-finish bristol board does NOT count. :tongue:

[MarvelKnight]

I have a nephew. Though, I may have one in Japan. I've heard from people; I hope they are joking.

If you're still fishing for a monetary settlement, boy are YOU barking up the wrong tree. :biggrin:

[zilch]

Just the one 18 years old.
19 in two weeks. Most of the time he acts like my grandmother.

Swear to ghod if he tells me to clean up after myself one more time, i'll slug 'im.

[Typo Lad]

I've one, an eight year old who started third grade yesterday. There's talk of a a sequel. One was in production earlier last year, but the producer backed out.

[Mermaid]

I only just saw this!

You're insatiable!

[Roquefort Raider]

Two boys aged 14 and 10.

Being a daddy is the best job I ever had. I understand now how elderly parents can look at their 60-odd years old children and still feel protective... a parent's love really redefines a person.

It's too bad neither of my boys cares about my comic-books! They'd have started their collecting days with a big headstart!

[Romero]

A six year old girl and a two year old girl. I like to think I am doing a pretty good job.

When they are teenagers, they'll magically get two new uncles that all potential boyfriends will also meet- Smith and Wesson, maybe Colt. If need be, they'll get a "foreign" uncle- Uzi. :biggrin:

[Superheroic]

Two kids. A four-almost-five year old girl. Starts kindergarten today. And a three year old boy.

[o1pickleboy]

I only just saw this!

You're insatiable!

yes I am, but I was talkiing about cats.


what were you thinking?

[cable guy]

I have 2 boys ages 11 and 6. My little girl is 4.

I love being a parent, they have brought so much to my life.

I think my wife and I are doing an ok job in raising them.

[i_mmmchocolate]

My childhood cat is still alive (she's 20 y.o.), but she's not mine, so I have no pets.

No child(ren) of my own, so I chose the 'no-not yet' option on the poll.

[Acecool]

I have a daughter that is 6 months today.

[schwamp]

I always wanted to use Rodney D's line, " 3 kids, one of each!", but I'd be lying. I've two kids, one of each. Son is 21 and daughter is 17. Raider said it best, I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I often say I didn't start to become the person I am now until I became a father. Love those kids...

[Paradox]

Typo Lad hands me my walker:

I've one, an eight year old who started third grade yesterday.

Good lord that makes me feel old, Morts. :eek:

[mgs]

Do you have any children?
Nope, not yet. But hope to, maybe, some day, with the right person.

How many?
Zero.

Any adopted kids?
Nope. 'Cept for my friends' little ones and my little niece and nephew! :smile:

How do you find being a father or mother? are you good at it?
Um..I think so. I kinda had a 'tryout' once when an ex told me that her baby was mine. We had plans to marry, but then it turns out, it wasn't mine. Long story short. And I really, REALLY felt bad about leaving the kid(s), she had another, but they weren't mine and out emotional attachment was not exactly there, and they were little enough where there was, hopefully, no emotional damage or anything. :frown:

I just wanted to post another picture of my daughter.

[Typo Lad]

Good lord that makes me feel old, Morts. :eek:

Get in line. A kid I used to babysit for is a mom.
