Most of our friends either are trying, or already have young children. I can't help but feel sorry for their kids, and almost resent them (parents) for being selfish enough to not even think twice about what they are bringing them into. They just decide they want a baby and go for it, never thinking about the actual unborn child itself. They're all great people / parents or I wouldn't be associated with them. I know these kids will have a great upbringing, and for the most part be molded into useful members of society (at least statistically they should, coming from said upbringings). But I can't help thinking of it as anything other than somewhat selfish. I am typically the "negative thinking, worst case scenario" kind of guy, that over analyzes simple tasks and situations though. Could just be me.

You aren't alone. I just had this exact same talk with the girl I'm currently dating. Kind of a sad realization(I always wanted Children), but also a realistic one. I don't want to raise a child in this crime saturated, financially/politically destroyed, homosexual/transsexual crazed world we live in now. I bought some land in the country to hopefully get away from some it, and maybe have a family one day. But at this rate I'll prolly pack up my truck, load up the dogs and head to Canada before too long. Find a semi-remote location, and hunt/fish my tail off. No matter how hard you try to teach your kid right from wrong for the 4 hours you see them a day, it won't hold a candle to what they're going to be exposed to in the everyday world now a days. I just spent almost a week with my 14 year old niece while she was on summer vacation, the things she was telling me about what kids are doing is unreal. She saw Heroin at school in the 8th grade, and this is at a top 10 school in the state. I'm not talking about 14 year old jimmy who stole a nickel bag of weed from his brothers sock drawer and yall go burn it after school behind the corner store and then go ride bikes all over the city and think you're on dragons wings(I had a friend who had a friend that did that once...), I'm talking about kids who show up to school with bookbags full of Heroin. Not the world I want to live in, and definitely not the world I want to bring a person into. I'll do my 75 years here and move on, not too worried about carrying on my last name, no one can pronounce it anyway. haha
