How rich are you that you can have a kid for breakfast every day?

If you're stupidly wealthy to have this daily? Kids are irrelevant.

Reality is, people chronically online are incapable of raising a child because the reality is, they can't imagine caring for someone other than themselves.

Having a child to share your hobbies is awesome. You ever needed a coop buddy? They got you covered for years and years!

It's like using your laptop poolside. Seems cool but actually sucks ass.

I put those puppies training pads in my bed so I can catch the syrup I drip and that sticks to my fingers after.

I’m okay with croissant crumbs on my pillow, it detracts from the feeling of my eye boogers.

I can't tell if the food is on the bed or on a table in front of the bed.

IMO: the reason I don't want kids is because I can't imagine myself saying: "Now, after a long day of work at my full-time job, I can't wait to get home to my other, unpaid caretaker full-time job." IMO being a good parent is hard work and I if I were to be a parent, I want to do it properly.

I respect parents, it’s just not the lifestyle for me.

Yeah, I tell my kids all the time that without winter, summer just isn't as enjoyable, and that even in late August and early September I'll say, you know what, I'm ready to change it up. I don't have this expectation of perfection from any facet of life, including my kids and the relationship I have with them. The bads and the goods are all part of the experience, and to me the experience is rewarding.

But I absolutely don't fault someone for wanting perpetual summer. Summer is great.

Yea I’m sitting here thinking I’d love for my kid to go all Kevin Mccallister on this and just watch how excited they’d be.

My wife took my kids to a cafe yesterday and asked me if I wanted her to bring home a dessert, which I obviously said yes, who says no to that. I check out the menu and was surprised to see, under Desserts, Pancakes, Waffles, and French Toast. Was just happy to see someone putting them where they belong. I have no problem with any of them, but they are not breakfast food, they are dessert in disguise.

I went to London UK last year and there were so many places offering English afternoon tea. I tried one, and it was delicious, although I feel that calling it “tea” is a way of obscuring the fact that they just wanted to have dessert for lunch.

You forgot about "I'm not willing to feed capitalism more slaves"

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.

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...

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 🤷‍♂️.

Me, eating out a twinks ass in the bed: "suit yourself I guess"
