  And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

    Yes, I chose to have kids and change nappies, doesn’t make it any less disgusting when the shit starts going everywhere, and a billion other things I knowingly signed up for sucking.

    “This is going to suck, and be worth it after”
    Later : “this sucks”
    You : “LOL NO ONE FORCED YOU AMIRITE?!”

      We’re in a different political climate than when you were young. Today’s youth can’t afford to have children, and even if they could, they know bringing a child into a world of impending climate collapse is a cruelty.

      They’re jealous of your privilege and resentful that you still find the time to complain in front of them even with your good luck. They wish they could care about problems as simple as yours. But alas, your struggles are no longer relatable. They’re just reminders of how good you have it compared to them.

        the fuck are you on about? I’m talking about the generation before me lying about how the baby years of the child is the best, the same way they lied about being in school being the best. 35 is down there with school years.

        I’m talking about how in contrast to what the generation before told me, starting a career turned out great for me. I’m not talking about any privilage. If it seems privilaged, it’s telling them that when they start their own career, things start to look up. maybe they’re still just “working jobs” instead of "starting their career.

  I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).

  And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.

    Older children, sure, but there’s a lot more intense childcare that takes up a lot of time with the baby. I am kinda in some of the exception circumstance, but not with the kid.

    On top of that, if you’re the sole breadwinner, you can’t just drop your job to go do some stupid shit, like I did earlier.
