I don't have any kids yet. My wife and I are planning to start trying next year.
Let me tell you what I don't agree with. I don't like the fact that a lot of people have kids because they are bored with their life and have nothing else to do. I think this is so wrong.
Right now, I'm trying really hard to make my dreams come true. One of my dreams is run my own internet business so that I don't have to work 9-to-5 for anyone anymore. It might sound a little mean, but right now, I don't want kids because I have something else to look forward to that keeps me busy. If I have a kid right now, that might hurt my chances to make my dreams come true.
My plan is to work on my goals first and then bring a child into a much better world. If I have my own internet business, then I will have a lot more time to spend with my kid and so will my wife. Now isn't this a much better plan?
I think everyone should think about the real reason they want a child. I think we should first work on our goals before considering having kids. I see many people having kids because they either don't have any goals or don't plan to pursue them. Then, what happens is that these people will no longer be able to pursue their goals because their sole reason for living becomes their child and I don't think this should be the case.
