Do you have children? How many? Poll.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Do you have children? How many? Poll.

Post by Kung-fu Hillbilly »

I made a life choice a long time ago to not have kids as I understood my lifestyle coupled with some character traits wouldn't serve a little Hillbilly's development particularly well. It's a decision I've not regretted.

How many do you have? Do you/did you enjoy having them? Did you always want them?

Are you an older parent who had children later in life? What's that experience like?

I went full Pacino & had one in the 90s, one in the 00s, one in the 10s, and one in the 20s! Staggering. :D

Yes adore them, yes always wanted. They're no trouble at all, totally life enriching from birth to the eldest now at 25. I can't imagine passing on & leaving nothing behind. to think of all my ancestors that had to fall in love, get jiggy with it, and of all the billions/trillions of permutations I am here, and me be the one to end that line because I fancy globe trotting solo or to just look after cats? No, wasn't for me. Family is everything.

3 was enuf for me before I came here , then 2 more accidentally
It’s a shame to worry about what’s going to happen to the one I still have when the time comes
Considering I am 71 and he is only 6 years of age .
To say I have my fingers crossed 🤞🏽 is an understatement.

Odd subject from someone who decided not to have kids and needs reassurance they did the correct thing!
Personally I think non breeders are selfish as the world needs people.

I have four but started late and my first was born when I was in my early 30s.

I'm so happy with the two we got here. The first would have been lonely without the second, I know that now. And their competition among themselves makes them stronger in my opinion.

I make polls, lots of them, this is just another.

Your constant trolling of people just makes you look like a dick.

No kids. I decided years ago I wasn't going to have any, I've never regretted that decision.

No kids. I wouldn't be a good father and there is enough fucked up kids in the world.

But kudos to the good parents out there!
