Same, and the stories about certain family members don't quite ring true for me and how I seem to operate, but I have a temper and a certain disposition that I honestly wouldn't trust to put children through. I'd like to think I'd never strike a child, and I'd certainly make it priority #1 and everything else last priority, but I'm not willing to take the chance and will simply choose to never have any.

I have many reasons for not wanting kids, but not wanting to put my child through that moment of having to change their view of their parent from a caretaker to a rabid animal to be feared is absolutely the biggest. That **** is dehumanizing. I don't know quite how I feel about light spanking, as it's oddly ritualistic, but when you get that hit to the face from someone who's just angry and lashing out there's no equivocation on how unacceptable it is.

If the only people having kids aren't beating on one another then I'd like to think the species will only benefit.

I agree. It's just happened that way with us though. Three brothers, two married and no sign of kids (nor do their wives want any, so there won't be any) and of course nothing from me. So the male side of our bloodline ends here, and if there's one last curse I can hurl at my owl fella before he ****s off off this planet, then that's the most effective I can.

You're done, ****. End of the line. No more you. When me and my two brothers die, that's it. Your stinking bloodline will be wiped from this Earth, and it'll be the better for it.

(Not, I hasten to add, that either of my brothers have a problem with temper or practice domestic violence on their partners - if anything, they're both hen-pecked. But you can never be sure. And anyway, **** that bastard is what I say.)
