Are children REALLY our future?

In this wonderful world of social networking I’ve noticed that people are kid-retarded.  Now I cannot speak with any experience on this subject because I’m without child.  But it does seem as if once someone has a wee one that their entire existence becomes entrenched with their spawn.  Not to try and sound like a sociopath, but this confuses me.  The loss of self-worth for a baby that may, or may not, follow your guidance and learn from the lessons you teach them.  I know that I cannot fathom the love and connection of having a child, but I also know how much kids can suck (I was at my Halloween party!!!).  I have my fears of having a kid, I’m afraid of just a dumb kid, or a whore daughter, or a man-whore son.  I don’t give props to guys who hump a lot of girls, it’s just as slutty.  What I can imagine is having some of the kiddies I know, Sean, Eva, Hazel, Brando….these are great kids, cute, smart, they like me; pretty much everything I want in a child.  I can completely understand their parents being overjoyed at these little turd-nuggets; they are kickass kid!  I’m bat-shit crazy over these kiddies.  I love going upstairs and having little Brando giggle and haul-ass-crawl to me, it makes me happy.  I guess this just means I make friends with good people who have good kids; I’m going to pat myself on the back now…..done.  I also know there are shitty parents who have great kids, and there are great parents who have meth-head kids who kill puppies and get a hard on doing it.  Nature vs. Nurture will never been settled.
