I am a 'confirmed bachelor' and live alone. At this point my job situation is still too unstable even to adopt pets. I do intend to adopt a golden retriever sometime next year, and child or two sometime in farther in the future. But right now my only companionship is from potted plants.

It's my wife and I, and no one else. We decided some time ago against having kids, a decision that vexes my mother to no small end. Of the 24 spaces on the classic "Breeder Bingo" card, she's hit 16.

It's actually amusing to see how many of her arguments come down to be spelled out on that card. Christmas dinner brought out the elusive "Don't you want to see what they'd look like?" spot, and despite both of us saying we don't want children, her standby is always "It's different when it's your own!"

I have heard all the arguments also . The one I like the most is how they will change your life . That is the very reason we do not want them , we like our lives the way they are , why would we want to change it !?

I once asked my Dad , "What is in it for me ?" , when he told me to mow the grass . He stated , we feed you , clothe you and house you so consider yourself paid in full !
