How many of you have kids? Are any of them worried about 2012? Aren't you worried that some of the proposed claims could be real?

Uh, that's not a valid reason to try to make valid these outrageous claims. I'd be worried about my kids being mentally retarded, if they believed in this noise.
Oh, and if I had kids, too. That's important.
Sorry, but having kids isn't a valid excuse to be paranoid about this. In fact, I dare-say you're a /terrible/ parent for believing in this and worrying about it. You'd be making your kids life's miserable.
Why to be so aggressive?
I think people come here to feel better, not to be insulted, at least this is why I come very often to this site.
I realized that the moderators are very polite and do not agree with this behavior, and I sure believe you should follow their good example.
One good start is reading the article from Astrogeek showing how to deal with comments posted here.
How many of you have kids?
No.
Aren't you worried that some of the proposed claims could be real?
No. On what basis should I?
Asking if we have children is an entirely irrelevant issue. The relevant issue is the claims made by 2012ers are not backed by evidence. That fact does not vary with number of children.
Hi JustWondering;
I have four kids. Three of them are old enough to understand the whole 2012 doomsday thing, and (being my kids) they of course know it's all baloney.
They've even taken after their old man a bit, and have talked to other kids about how the 2012 doomsday is bogus.

Hi JustWondering,
I have children and grandchildren. I am not at all worried because none of the claims stand up to scientific scrutiny. The doomsayers have no scientific education and their claims are simply wild speculation that can't happen.
My 10 year old grandson saw me answering questions here and asked me about it. He had been hearing it at school but didn't seem to be particularly afraid. He did ask me how I knew that we were right and the 2012ers were wrong. I explained the same thing to him, that several of us are scientists and we also get information from other scientists, and the 2012ers are not. They are authors selling books full of absolute drivel.
