I bloody hate that.
I'm nearly 40, I think I know my own mind on the subject.

"But who will look after you when you're older?"

Sorry, but if you have kids so that you have ready made care when you get old and decrepid then you're having them for the wrong reason and they should be taken off you with immediate effect.

I take pictures of him and cut and paste his head onto pictures of other young men.

glad you have said that
as that is the one reason I've come up with, and I've dismissed it for the same reason.

Another thing I can't understand
Is people who have kids and then refuse to let them grow up and make decisions for themselves when they are well into their 20's.

yeah, stupid
you'd want them to be independent as soon as possible.

The one thing that really gets my goat is that loads of people tell me they think I'd be a good dad. This comes from good friends as well and just goes to show that they don't know me very well at all.

I'm a horrible bastard, I'm really impatient, I can't stand mess (of the spilt food and vomit kind)
