contraception.

I did the door thing too. Worked pretty well.

This reminds me of many exchanges between my dad and sister http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QNAC8YjlrE&feature=related

All of this is proving to be excellent contraception in and of itself. Only reason I want to have kids is so I can be the dad that gives their kids all the COOL toys. None of this safety foam-play date crap. Oh, and scare the hell out of the parents with some sort of rattletrap of doom when it's time to pick Junior up from school.

A guy I worked with said he needed to go get his 'B.C's' out of the car. Huh?

A few minutes later he walked back in wearing the ugliest eyeglasses I have ever seen on a human face. I had to ask; they were his old military issue glasses and in the service they were known as 'B.C's', as in 'Birth Control'. The reason: the opposite sex would take one look at them and run as fast as possible in the opposite direction.

I'll keep the furry children. They don't talk back. Not much anyway!

Besides, my bro has decided to repopulate the world as his fifth daughter is on the way near the end of the summer!

Just a quick note or two, for the heck of it:

The best contraceptive is abstinence... 100% effective. I know this from personal experience.

Taking contraceptives can cause women to have difficulty conceiving when they do decide they want children.

There are so many couples who cannot have children who would love to adopt an "unwanted" child. A buddy of mine (he was adopted) was lucky and was able to adopt a child recently.

Wow..

Way to kill a fun thread.

What about ear sex?

I think ear sex would kill a thread pretty quickly too.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase - "stick it in your ear".

My only child got hitched recently, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm not sure if I'm thrilled or horrified at the prospect of being a grand-dad, but I'm told I have a couple of years before I have to face that reality.

If so, I'm sure it won't be due to abstinence.

Dude - I took my 13-year-old daughter's BEDROOM DOOR away for a week one time. That one's now 18, and her 14-year-old sister is about to get the same treatment if she doesn't decide to become human in the next 10 minutes or so.

Excellent! My children understand that a door to their bedroom is a privilege -- and if it gets slammed in anger or disugst, it comes off.

Year ago my daughter found out how easy it is to kick open a locked bedroom door. I didn't fix it for months. She will deliver the first grandchild in a couple of months.

Thanks.

I think.

i dont see the appeal to this....

In reply to spitfirebill:

Man! You people are hardcore. I just keep one of those little metal toothpick things on top of the door frame.

Though I did pluck a tooth out of an unwilling 6 year old last night.

After one kid...snip-snip....no problemo, just sayin' They are much easier to manage, when you have them out-numbered. Plus there are too many people on the planet, so negative population grownth is a good thing.

You know what they say about ear sex? Once you go black, you go deaf.

never known em as B.C's... ALWAYS B.C.Gs... = birth control glasses...

my dad wore those type for many years... and why not they're free... prior to the brown finish they were an awesome black frame ;-)

This is it... now I've read just about everything on this forum.

Taking off their door is a good idea. I'll have to remember that one.
