Why Would Anyone Have Kids?

[naut]

Most kids aren't spoilt brats.

Technically speaking I agree. Spoilt brats get that way for a reason, poor parenting. I have a mate who was spoilt beyond imagination, but he didn't end up a brat. Then again I have friends who are your typical distinctly middle class brats who get what they want, whenever they want.

4. Drugs, Alcohol, and Sex. So many awkward conversations.. so many chances for addictions or unwanted pregnancy!

My parents never said anything to me of these things (praise the Lord!), and I never got involved in any of them

Can't ignore them though. I likewise never really got any major direct talks from the parentals on the major stuff, and looking back on it I would have appreciated it. Teenage years are challenging times, and just some words, awkward as they would have been would have been appreciated. I think the most I got was, "You're growing up and pr0n may appeal to you, but it's demeaning to women, so don't." and "If you want to smoke you have to pay for it."
