Man they are two cute kids! :)

You know what this means though... Now I have to post mine!

Sorry for being self-indulgent but... just look at that cute kid! :)

*is proud*

The Englishman in me just wants to shout: "Oh for God's sake! Draw the line guys. And pass the sick bucket. Everyone's kids are cute to them, but they are of very little interest to anyone else."

Whereas if I was American I guess I'd post pictures too.

# 5 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
Steady on that man, I'm English too. :p

I'd imagine the distinction isn't so much between Englishmen and Americans as between parents and non-parents. You're not a dad I take it Jackonicko?

# 6 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
After a brief discussion here at Jacko Towers, among parents, new parents and non parents, the consensus is that perhaps the distinction is between those who are new parents (and are still defined by parenthood), and those who don't (or who no longer) believe that parenthood brings with it any extra wisdom or sensitivity, but only ulcers and wrinkles......

And actually it is very American to post pics of your kids on an internet site......

cute kids all of them. evolutionary advantage so that their survival is insured in case something happens to the parents. ;)

but seriously guys, nice pics. enjoy the time with them. :)

I don't know guys, I've got a 5 month old and I don't think I would ever post pictures of him on the internet. Maybe it is the Welsh in me, I don't know. I just don't think I would feel safe posting pictures on the internet. Just me though, cute kids guys, real cute!!!

# 9 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
I pray the day will never dawn when I refrain from sharing pictures of my kids for fear that some pervert will get his kicks from them. FFS people! And thinking your kid looks cute is not the same thing as thinking you possess "extra wisdom or sensitivity". How the hell did you manage to make that mental leap??

Anyway, cheers lads, way to bring a nice thread down. Guess I won't bother in future.

Mintcake:

"....the distinction isn't so much between Englishmen and Americans as between parents and non-parents. You're not a dad I take it Jackonicko?"

I wouldn't have to own an Audi to know that it's a superbly engineered example of German design. Nor does anyone need to have children to understand the pleasures and pitfalls of parenthood.

The thought that paedophiles actually enjoy innocent pictures of kids is profoundly depressing, however, though I suspect Todd W is being realistic.

# 12 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
There are real enough dangers out there without my worrying about some sicko seeking out an entirely harmless photo of my 2 year old eating, buried deep within a forum about mp3 players. I assumed that what we had going here was a community where people could sound off, informally, about things that are important to them, over and above the little white thing that plays music. I rather like the idea of threads like this, having said that I can perfectly well understand why others don't like it. They don't have to. I've heard Bill Hicks on the subject of kids and doting parents, I think he has a point. But there's a whole big forum out there, no need for someone who doesn't like dads (or mums) going all gooey over their offspring to spend time on this thread. Personally I found the "pass the sickbag" comment a bit uncalled for, sorry, which is why I reacted in a rather robust manner. The thread title should have been warning enough! I guess what I'm saying is, if you don't like it, that's fine, but why not just stay away and let us soppy gits enjoy being soppy. :)

sounds nice, albeit a little too healthy. ;)

@ mintcake's kiddo, i'm with you in a pizza strike! ;) :D

# 18 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
LOL

/me intercepts the pizza, eats it himself

First rule of parenthood: do as I say, not as I do. ;)

Actually they were pretty good lentils... I mean, she *is* smiling so they can't be that bad. :)

# 19 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
Hmm...Looking at Kurt's kids pictures reminds me of a story...

Awhile back, when I was still a resident, I'd periodically see this veteran in the V.A. clinic. He was about a million years old, give or take a year, and every time I'd see him, he'd tell me in lurid detail all his escapades with the ladies--all about 20 or so (That part has absolutely nothing to do with Kurt's kids, and that part of the story didn't remind me of them--just so we're all clear on that).

So, finally I tell him, bring me a picture of all these beautiful babes, and THEN maybe I'll believe you. So, about three months later, he shows up in clinic again, dead serious, with a picture of a wholesome, drop dead gorgeous young woman in her twenties. It was in a very nice frame. In fact, as I looked a bit closer, I could see the "K-Mart--$2.99" in the lower right hand corner of the picture. Yep, it was the picture that came with the very nice frame...He was so serious, and proud of himself, I just didn't have the heart to call him on it...

Now I'm not saying Kurt's trying to pull one over on us, but those kids are a little too perfect looking, almost as perfect as my 2 year old and 6 year old (both boys though)...Although, in Kurt's defense, I do not see any evidence of a frame...

I'm forbidden from posting pictures of my adorable children on the internet by court order as a part of the divorce. It seems to be standard procedure in some states nowadays.

# 21 Re: Because my kids are so darned cute...
Really?

How about posting pictures of your ex? I bet we could doctor those up REAL nice...Maybe some mascara and eyeliner, a few boils, and a skin tag here and there...

Was it a pizza, or were you just happy to see him? Er, I guess that only works with salami...
