What's So Terrible About Kids?
HiFranc:
For me, I once looked forward to having children. At university I volunteered to help out at the Kidds' Klub. It had about 20x 3-9 year olds (they were the children of other students and the club existed to give their parents a break). Usually there were 4-5 of us on duty and I did what I could to encourage the quiet ones to take part in activities we had.
One day there was only 2 of us on duty and that afternoon has put me off children for the rest of my life! It was quite simple: you blinked, there was a fight. We were run ragged just trying to keep order. The children probably didn't have much fun.

Fear.
Fear that I could possibly screw up the life of another human being - without trying.
That's why I'm sans children.
Oh, that and where I work.
idontunderstand:
There's nothing wrong with kids. I love 'um. Most of 'um at least. I used to work at various kindergartens and it hasn't destroyed me.
Is it cold in here?:
HiFranc made me think of an adult in a poly family who said the main thing to know about raising children is "outnumber them".

Erm, shouldn't this thread be merged with the one in DISCUSS?
