Confused

I know what you can do. It's called "grow the fuck up".

You're welcome, in advance.

Real anarchists don't have children, because there's always the risk that the kids will strive for order when the real anarchists are too old to fight back.

[QUOTE=Crissano Dunyon;1064626]So I have a kid on the way and I'm only 22. Ok. I've modelled my life from the blueprint of the quiet, nomadic writer with no ties to anything except the pen that acts as my life vein to the planet. Shit just got real. Now I'm responsible for another life and well I'm not so sure about who I am or what I should do anymore. If there's any anarchists on here with children can you guyd let me know how you deal?

I'd really appreciate some advice.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, sounds like you used to have the perfect life....
But I'm just a teenager, so I've been told I'm stupid.

So, er, anarchists huh? Anti-gov' and all that.... What do you think you'd do if your kid thought differently from you?

i don't think they hang out on message boards either, real anarchists.

What's all the Anarchy hating going on for?
Nigga having a kid and you bust his balls. Dude, stay true to Anarchism's roots and just boil the motherfucking toddler and have him for lunch.

i thought it was a girl? crissana?

have you read any chuck?

you are not your khakis
you are not your child

do what you want, be what you want to be - but now, know that you have responsibilities BEYOND your self - it's very cool, and you'll love that child like you wouldn't believe - you'll see yourself in that innocent creature and you'll be greatly rewarded

it'll take some of your time and some of your energy, but guess what - there ARE writers in the world who have kids - stephen king is one of the most prolific writers in the world, and he has a couple of boys - you just need to get a little organized and plan a little more

it's ok, it's not the end of the world - you can change a diaper and still write whatever kind of scifi fantasy horror slasher endoftheworld sextopian bloodbath that you want

no worries, you'll be ok - just don't resent that child - own your life

and congratulations :sgrin:

ps - i have twins, boy and girl, almost 4, and i'm working on my third novel, have written about a dozen good short stories in the past 6 months

If youre really worried about the baby you could start your own religion. Just replace "homosexuality" with "Big government or status quo."
That should work some.

Yeah, it's a tough adjustment. But once the kid is here, you won't have time to wax philosophic. Sleep will be your number one priority, not existential angst. My only advice is enjoy yourself now, 'cause shits about to change. For real though, best of luck.

I realize that this was probably not the best place to ask for advice, but thanks to all who offered something positive it's greatly appreciated.

As for the comments about "true anarchists" you guys need to go do some research fo real, cus [xec8] you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Make some research!

It's odd how people get offended. It's all in fun.
