You'll be a good father. You know exactly what to expect.

I have been holding back from answering "none"...because I have a teenager. People sometimes look at you like you just sprouted a second head when you are actually honest about that sort of thing.

I feel your pain. Seriously.

One of the perks of being homosexual is that nobody expects you to have any children. Sure, I could adopt one, but I'd much rather adopt a cat--hell, maybe two!

This was not worded right. Yes, everyone has the right to have or not have children. My point was there are people that have children and find them to be a burden they would like to get rid of.
Everyone on this board knows that some looky lou is going to come to this thread and read the wrong point. And we all know this is going to feed the idea that Satanists dislike and harm children. It is a vicious cycle. So I apologize to anyone that I offended, non of this was pointed a anyone specific, it was a point that whether we want to have children or not we still respect and protect them.
If you still all want to take what I say wrong way then so be.

Understood. Thank you for clarifying.

I'm fairly certain that your comment could not have been directed at the point that Roho and I were making(that would be ludicrous), but I'll say this just in case there is any confusion.

Children are wonderful, I have a couple myself. They also reach stages where it's incredibly difficult to keep your sanity, much less a smile on your face. Anyone that wants to act like this FACT does not apply to them, well, I'd love to have a front row seat to the show when their illusions get blown out of the water by a smart mouthed, know it all rebellious teen.

THOSE people shouldn't be having kids, cause they're living in a dream world and simply won't know what to do when the bomb drops. Trust me, no one is immune.

Just because someone can be utterly frank about their frustrations as parents doesn't mean they don't love their children. I've noticed that the older your kids get, the less idealistic bullshit you tend to spew out of your mouth about parenting.

End of rant.

No it was not directed to you or Roho. I understand what you meant in your posts, I was an ass hole teen that pissed off my parents at one time (couldn't have guessed that, right?) I have two boys, one is 7 and the other is 3. Believe me they already make me tear out my hair but my love is still unconditional. I have also dealt with enough children in the 3 yrs that I drove school bus to drive anyone to the funny farm.

Oh, damn. You do get it.

My condolences to you.

Lord of Syn,

Did you mean that Satanists, who esteem Responsibility to the Responsible and who do not complain of things to which they need not subject themselves, would place any blame of burden or punishment for having had children on themselves than on the children? I think that is what you meant.

The Looky Lou's will infer all manner of ill-natured purposes, or worse, they will make it so:



Oh, they're all just a bunch of pedophiles!

Not to mention the crazies who, in the seconds between their ludicrous posts and their swift ban at the hands of a moderator, are forever established in Google's archives.

Let them infer. Their loss.

As Shade and others can attest to, my wife and I have but one human child (five feline children). Our human child is very special, and many thanks to a good friend for allowing us to adopt. If we could have a dozen more just like him we'd take them in the blink of an eye.

Your Adopted is what I consider the epitome of the perfect child: well-behaved, fun to be around, endlessly fascinating and, above all else, blessedly quiet.

With perfect parents to boot!
