haha Calvin could definitely scare someone away from the prospect of having kids. IDK how his parents deal.

Love him to death though.

Pffft that last line got me laughing.

For me it was reading the forth Twilight book (I was bored, okay? I'VE REGRETTED IT EVER SINCE) and watching "Aliens"...

Good God. I never want kids... DX

Please forgive me for asking such an intrusive question, and obviously don't feel like you have to indulge my curiosity in any way: is it kids you never want, or is it giving birth?

It's all good. ^_^

I really don't want to give birth. Ever, if I can help it. And, while I don't mind baby-sitting, the idea of being a child's primary care-taker (or one of them, depending on future circumstances) quite frankly scares the shit out of me. I just... I'm terrified. ^^;

Granted, I also have quite a few years before I would be able to think about having (but preferably adopting) children, if my current course of education goes the way I'm hoping it will, so I might change my mind in the future. But as of right here and right now, it's both that scares me. Granted, actually getting pregnant scares me more, but the idea of having children scares me to. ^^;

Okay :) Thanks for answering! It's just that both Twilight and Aliens famously contain rather horrific pregnancy or pregnancy-like images, so I was wondering, you know?

Also, I can't really say anything that might help with your fear of pregnancy, but as far as babies are concerned... The little beasties are surprisingly resilient ;) I was honestly terrified when I got home with my baby son, because I figured there was no way any baby could survive if left to my devices. Turns out he managed very well indeed :P But I sure got a huge shock when we reached his first month-date and I was like "... He's still alive?? Bwuh??" so I understand what you mean :)

lol, at least you know what you want. XD

I can certainly see why you would say that anon, but when I reread them it made me WANT to have kid, but at the same time Calvin was a huge handfull lol.

Oh man, why did you have to remind me of the super sweet anthology. I already own all of the books I shouldn't be tempted to buy it all over again!

...but then, it is Calvin and Hobbes.

Amen, so much. Child characters can be awesome, but definitly make me want to never have to deal with them.

Ditto.

I dunno. Sure, Calvin would probably drive me insane three times a day at least, but at the same time, I don't think I'd manage to say anything else but "YES, PLEASE!" if a fairy popped up and offered to dump him on me :D

Well, I don't want to seem like I'm pressuring you into kids you clearly don't want, but you do know that real kids aren't like Calvin -- for better or worse.

Ahahahahahahahaha.

Most real kids are not like Calvin. They do exist, though. My sister? Yeah. My parents were convinced there was a secret camera or something because cartoons like Calvin & Hobbes and movies like Dennis the Menace? A sizable portion was stuff she actually did.

My niece apparently is the same way.

I am never, ever, ever having children. -_-

Yeah, well there are some. But they are pretty rare. My most difficult was my son, who has autism. I had to watch him like a hawk until he was school aged, due to the language delays and general in-his-own-world bit, but every year he just gets sweeter and easier and more reliable. He's a great dude, well worth the effort.

But then, I wanted kids, so... yeah.

HEE
awwwwwwwww
to be honest it would make me think that too, but in the "I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO BECOME THE PARENTS" sense (I'm way too much like Calvin for my own good. Still, at 23. =/)

Heh, this comic is one of the things that made me know I wanted to have kids, even when I was just a kid. It's gonna sound terrible, but I loved the way his dad would just make shit up to answer Calvin's random questions about how things worked. I can't wait to lovingly mess with my kids' minds, too.

This!

I can see that. For example:

My neighbours (adorable, and mildy Calvin like) child peed on another kid the other day. Now, with the circumstances surrounding it, I was actually quite proud of him (except I would never tell him that, I did however express this sentiment to his mother. Said circumstances being neighbour child (A) is 5, and this other kid is 10 and much larger, and is a bully. A bully with rocks (among other things). So A had enough, they wouldn't leave him alone, so he whipped it out and peed. He's pretty much left him alone since he did it, especially the day.

Now, this made me want kids more. However, I can see how other people would definitely want kids LESS with this kind of behaviour.

HAH I love this

Lol, I feel exactly the same, OP.

Although I have a feeling Calvin is not exactly representative of ALL six-year-olds. Love the character, but...kid's a demon child. xDD

I don't know, he bears a strong resemblance to my little sister ;D

why should this be a secret??

Calvin is a pain in the arse, but clever and creative [to the point where he's not really acting like a child his age should/would at all]. I know worse kids. And by 'worse' I mean 'teenagers in general'. Or just my own little sisters who both had to have therapy because their behavior was spoiled, entitled, and self-destructive.

I still want children. -shrug- Perhaps I'm crazy. Or maybe I'm just attempting to tell myself I'd be a better parent than mine were. Which could be lying to myself.
