Kids are overrated money-pits. Why spend so much time and money on something that'll devote its life to making you angry?
Also parents that take their kids out to nice restaurants or movies and let them cry without disciplining them need to be slapped. That shit drives me nuts lol, especially in the movies.
Jesus christ, this thread again....Kids are difficult but god damn it its great to create a family that loves you unconditionally. Its the same way dog lovers feel that their animals see them; except the dog will die in 15 years and wont be there to change your diapers or visit you when you are old as fuck. And as far as not being able to travel when you have kids, bullshit, my wife and I travel all the time with our kids, you just have to set priorities on how you want to spend money and what's important to you and your family.Nobody with kids has responded yet? Come on Sherdads.
I'll go. I have 2 kids and they are awesome.
People who just assume everyone who has a kid either did it by accident or immediately regretted it are ignorant, selfish idiots. Some people value family and enjoy starting one of their own. It's sorta like when parents assume others who don't want kids are all miserable assholes who can't find a mate and will die alone.
It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have them, that's also for sure. But kids are great and so is being a parent.
Wish your parents would have said the same. lmaoKids are overrated money-pits. Why spend so much time and money on something that'll devote its life to making you angry?
LOL at someone with no kids commenting about having kids.
It's simply impossible for a person to understand what it's like to have kids without having gone through it. It's not something that can be described or put into words. Bottom line, don't listen to childless people in regards to having kids.
Of course they say that. Would they really admit to themselves, or you, that it was a mistake and they hate it? That's a mistake that comes with an 18 year commitment at least. People have a hard enough time admitting they were in the wrong if they rear end someone.
Are you really gonna admit the inverse to yourself when you're sitting around some shitty apartment at 74 with your miserable wife and your list of people left that give 2 shits about you sitting at zero ?
What are you, in your 30s? The upside to your childless existence is at its absolute peak right now. The ( what you perceive ) downsides to children are also at their highest in peoples 30s ( needy , time consuming , ill behaved ect) . That pendulum is consistently swinging the other way though , bruh. And that's IF you're some kind of sociopath don't find any enjoyment at all in having young kids , which most people certainly do. I never hear a bunch of 56 year old dudes sitting around gloating about the kids they didn't have . They might Bitch about their marriage , but what elder dude have you ever heard say " fuck , my son was a waste of time " ?
Everyone with kids has been on both sides of the fence , you've been on one , so this authority with which you pretend to speak is mostly from your imagination.
Obviously not everyone should have kids. If you're unfit or unwilling , by all means sit that portion of life out, be my guest. Its just laughable as fuck to listen to some dude that knows half of what he's talking about tell me how miserable he's certain my life is. Half the time you miserable bastards are broke as shit too , despite the supposed financial leg up of being childless probably being the number one reason given.
I can almost guarantee that as that window passes you by and eventually closes that you'll have moments of regret , and that's IF you don't do an about face like most of your types do around 38 and start scrambling to get in vitro.....seen that happen quite a bit.

Wrong. If you don't want kids then more power to you if that's what going to make you happy. I love mine but that doesn't mean I think you should have kids. I do spend a fk ton of money on mine ( wrestling, bjj, football) but I wouldn't change a thing. We travel all over for tournaments, camps, and practice and the memories we have doing those things will last forever. As they get older (12 & 14 now)I like just hanging out with them. For me I couldn't imagine not having my boys.Parents want everyone to have children so those people can be as miserable as they are
