Is there such thing as having a kid by accident?

Question

Some marriages claim that they "accidentally had a kid" as if they didn't know of the risks involved in having s*x. I think it's very stupid to use this term. They should just admit that they were careless while having intercourse etc, but not say that they had an accidental child. Unplanned? okay, not accidental.

Answer 1

Yes, There are accidents walking around the planet earth as we speak! Accident is an old term. I was an accident. My nephew was and accident, as a matter of fact I think my brother and sisters were accidents too!

Answer 2

Yes... haven't you ever heard of that couple... the woman went to her mailbox naked and a man just so happened to be running by her house naked.  They collided by accident, rolled down the hill a few times and lo and behold she got pregnant by accident... seriously no I don't.  I agree with you that they are unplanned, not accidental.  

Oh and to the poster below me,  yes I have a beautiful baby girl.  And I understand that people make mistakes, and do things that they probably shouldn't but even if you are on birth control, you are taking the risk of getting pregnant.  That's why no method is 100% foolproof except for abstinence.

Answer 3

I believe that the in the human mind, making a mistake or a display of irresponsibility into a mere accident, makes everything acceptable.  I don't believe that things such as making a baby, which I might add, takes two people for those of you who don't know..lol, which in turn takes two minds to make choices, cannot be considered an accident. an accident is when you knock a glass off the table with your elbow, or you step on a piece of glass.  Not when you lay down in a bed next to someone and make a choice to have intercourse without proper precautions.  That my friend was an ignorant mistake if you did not want to create another life.  

I had a friend in highschool who was told she was an accident...what a horrible thing to consider a human life.

Answer 4

obviously neither you or your one answer has had a child. there is such thing as accidental,unplanned pregnancy and let me explain this to you......... birth control does fail. let me explain one more thing to you..... just because birth control fails does not necessarily make the child unwanted...........just accidental or unplanned.

Answer 5

Yes there is

I was on birth control

and I insisted that my boyfriend at the time

use condoms

he later admitted that he poked holes in the condom

while he did it on purpose

for me it was definitely an accident I took all precautions

to be honest I did not even want to have s*x ( I was in an abusive relationship)

I was in no way careless

I was decieved..

Answer 6

What accident? When I was in middle school there was this joke that two nudists were driving when the girl collided into the man and she flew through the glass.... lol. But, unless you are sleeping through s*x, it's impossible to "accidentially" have kids.
