Kids, Dogs and Love: Deflection

Deflection

Today, I was talking with my wife of five years, and I gave her a few hints about wanting kids. After our talk, she looked at me completely serious and said, "Yeah yeah, kids are great and all, but can't we just get you a dog?" FML

Today, things were going great with my girlfriend of six months. She knew I had kids and it seemed to be getting serious, so I decided to introduce her to them. After dinner, I walked her to her car and she said, "That’s real nice but what are you going to do with them once you and I have kids?" FML

Today, after careful consideration, I told my wife I really want to have kids. She laughed, until she finally realized I was serious, at which point she flicked me in the balls and said, "Problem solved." FML

Today, I asked my wife who she would choose, me or the dog. She chose the dog. No hesitation. FML

Today, my husband and I found out that our dog was pregnant. He now refuses to have kids with me for at least two years, because he wants to raise the puppies without any "distractions". FML

Today, my girlfriend was making lunch and asked me to pass her the peanut butter. I'll never know why, but as I handed it to her I said the first thing that came to mind, "I really want a dog." She looked at me in horror, then told me to get out of her house. FML

The talk

Today, I asked my husband if we could start talking about kids. He said sure, so we talked about kids. Then I asked if we could maybe start trying to have kids, and he said, “Absolutely fucking not, are you mad? What’s wrong with you?” FML

Today, my fiancé decided he wants a baby only because our dog is good, quiet, and falls asleep as soon as he starts to cradle her. He thinks a baby will be just like that. FML

Today, my wife and I have been in the same massive argument for two weeks. We agreed when we were dating that we couldn’t think of anything worse than having kids, we married on the basis we would never want kids. Now, a year later, she wants a baby. FML

Today, I overheard my parents talking about our family pet. Or at least I thought they were, until my mother exclaimed, "Honestly, I don't know why we keep her." Our dog is male. FML

Didn't you talk to her about that matter before you married her?

Quite frankly this could be a marriage breaker. OP you shouldn't try to force your wife or pressure her to have a child. If she doesn't want one and you do, either end the relationship or accept her wishes and find an alternative to care for your new found paternal instincts

I wanna marry your wife!! Just For Your Information: to have kid is not an obligation and to have kids is one of the worst thing everyone can do to our planet. Just adopt or yes: have a great dog or two!

**** you. If I decide to have a biological kid, that's none of your concern. If I decide to have 17, that's another story.

Why on earth don't people discuss this BEFORE committing to marriage?

Isn't it usually the men that don't want kids? Seems that you would be a great papa. :)

I'd rather have pets than kids any day! It's all fine and dandy for you to want kids, but what about her? she'd the one who has to go through all the pain and ******* misery of carrying the rugrat, not to mention the pain of actual birth and the wreckage it makes of her body, plus the the fact that you'll be all proud pappa, yet she's the one who gets to look after the thing for 99% of the time. Don't be such a selfish dick!
