If your wife and your dog were both drowning...

It's really a silly question to ask because those with kids will almost always answer kids. People with children will never realize the same relationship with their spouse that those without children will. Maybe when the empty nest happens.

I've been with my wife for 10+ years. Had a baby girl last week. Voted kid. Was 10 years together without a kid not long enough to "realize the relationship" I had with her? Pretty sure you've got it completely backwards.

I agree with this. I was with my husband for 11 years before we had a child. My kid is only 8 months old and I already chose her.

Good for you with what you have. You will forever miss what I have.

Uh, no. No I won't. I know what you have. You, on the other hand, have no idea what I, or any other parent, have.

 
You know what I love more...

QUIET!!!!!

I can't wait for these kids to be outta my house so I can divorce my wife and be knee deep in 25 year old strange.

Ya exactly. Most don't "forever miss" what they have with their wife after a kid comes, it brings them closer. Anybody who voted wife doesn't have a kid.

This must be a fishing trip. I don't care how much you love your wife, it pales in comparison to how much you love your child. It's a different kind of love (obviously). I doubt that you will find someone that has an exellent relationship with their wife and even a strained relationship with their child, ever picking their wife in this scenario.

 
We're biologically hardwired to love our kids. Voluntary choice to love one's spouse is up against a lot.

:lol: love it when non parents pretend to know these things. Glad you're happy and didn't breed.

 
People without children must be disqualified for this poll. If you don't have kids there is only one answer for the poll - your wife. Answering can't make the call messes results of those who had a choice between kids and wife.

Yeah, but jamny is pretending.
 
My kids are adults and I just told my daughter to stop being a #####, so wife it is. :D Love both of my kids though.

 
I keep wanting to bring up the point that I get to have sex with my wife but I can't figure out a non-creepy way of doing so.

Once my kids enter their teen years, I'm sure this will become a much tighter race although I'm pretty certain that my wife will never catch them. She only has until my youngest becomes 18 and then the race will almost certainly be over.

Maybe we should add a dog option. There has to be some guys without kids that also have a dog and would choose that option. I know I would. Then again, if I didn't have kids, I would've been divorced years ago.

 
My son is 18 months old and he has been such a breakthrough in my life. Changed who I am completely.

But I choose my wife and it's not close. There is only one person on this planet that I met, learned about, then liked, then loved, and then chose to spend the rest of my life with. No biological family can compete with that.

 
True story:

My ex came back from a Christian women's conference and asked, "If me and the kids were drowning and you could only save me OR the kids, who would you save?"

Without hesitation I answered "kids".

Apparently that was the wrong answer. :shrug:

I guess you should have followed it up with, 'because you are easier to replace than the kids.'

 
I have two young children who I love unconditionally, so I'll say "kids". Although as someone else said, love for kids is so different than love for a spouse, it is difficult to make the comparison.

That said, isn't this question age dependent? I'm 40 and my sister is 37. I think that if my Dad was asked this question about my sister and I, or my mom, who he has known for 45 years as his life partner, I would think it was strange if he didn't vote "wife".

You never stop loving your children but once they become of age you can't wait for them to move out.

:lol: True story, daughter went on spring break this week with some friends and wife asks how much money she should give her. I answered, enough to stay there.
