Every time I see one of these posts, it reads like ‘I can’t have kids because that would get in the way of my wanking and smoking pot time’ I mean, it is all good but it’s never ‘my job is very demanding and it would stop me from being able to parent’ or something.
These posts are about having your freedom. That freedom includes careers, ambitions, sometimes luxury vacations. It's also about how expensive it is to have & raise children. If I had children I would end up just like my neighbors, getting high the minute the kids are in bed and eating shit food. What a horrible life.
What is a horrible life? Being a parent?
The horrible life is being a shit parent. If you cannot handle children, don't have them. No one needs a parent with a drug problem.
Ah, that makes sense.
I guess choosing to have a horrible life, it might be a mindset. I know parents that dread hanging out with their kids and leave them behind with grandma as often as they can to go to like fancy dinners or events. Maybe unplanned pregnancy before discussing things like that with your partner can lead to this kind of feeling of being stuck in life.
For us we go to events or dinners that we think our kid would enjoy. Like we recently went to Vegas and our kid loves buses and trains so we took the trams around and had a blast. It was the funnest trip to Vegas I've had and it was because different aspects if it became fun. The other part of it is enjoying a bunch of stuff over again that you liked as a kid. Tons of nostalgia, coming across old books I used to read but completely forgot about etc.
You sound like a brilliant parent, and you really nailed it on the nostalgia stuff. I have no idea why someone downvoted you, some people are very bitter about stuff.
Every time I see a comment like this it's either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids...
I’d say ‘don’t reproduce’ but I guess we’re safe on that front.
They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they're talking about...
You can read their name and where they're from to draw complete picture of who they are. Sad reality. There's a level of entitlement that grew like cancer and one day, they'll face reality check.
What does this mean?
You forgot about "I'm not willing to feed capitalism more slaves"
Ecofascists love this line.
I'm willing to feed the revolution more fighters though
Have kids. I've gone and raced in 2 lemons races this year with 2 more to follow as well as well have a few trips with the family. My wife has a Noah khan concert coming up and a Boston trip later this year.
Kids changed things but I assure everyone, I probably have a more active and fun life than most the depressed doom scrollers on here without the kids 🤷♂️
The kids aren't even that expensive once you get past daycare compared to a mortgage 🤷♂️.
So much this. It's so hard to remain a miserable grinch when there's a tiny human tugging on your limbs, trying to make you touch some actual grass and engage in an epic water gun battle.
