babies stop being that hard after a few years
Actually, I held a baby once. It wasn't hard at all. It was actually super squishy.
I was still squishy enough for my mom, to run me over when I was like 9. Only fractured my wrist, and had straw punctured holes all over me. It was fun, and horrifying.
........kinda just feels like this entire comment is just you shoehorning in the fact that your mom ran you over.
Which is a weird thing to brag about.
Relevant anecdotes, how do they work?
Seriously though this is a weird fucking reply dude, who's bragging?
They are just thick and hard like a rock. And not squishy blood bags like the rest of us.
My two year old has been two for the past 5 years...
I remember one time I had an informal work related sitting and my boss asked if I could come. I told him that I can't because it's my week to babysit the 2yo and he was "just bring him along, it'll be fine." So I took him along and then spent the rest of the night babysitting him because my child is a fucking force of nature. He doesn't tire, he will go wandering, he will touch everything and he will throw anything he can get his hands on. So when his nap time came and I had to take him home my boss said "I don't remember my children being that hard."
And that's when I understood that if you have no siblings you were a fucking menace as a child. Parents who have more children do so because they thought the first one wasn't that bad.
Your boss also probably didn't do as much of the child rearing.
That being said, I tend to try to push aside the tough times. They're a given. I try to just remember the good times as best I can.
Oooooh, I think Marty McFly might be fucking with the timelines again.
ok
Only a few years, eh 😅
Just 18
In this economy and housing market? You better expect to have them at home for 30 ish years unless they end uo being rich very early.
spoken like an 18 year old
Hahaha, I'm in my mid 30' and still a burden for my parents
yep…
but hey, if you want to die alone with no support and nobody left who cares about you, in a nursing home, don’t have kids 😅
do you value love? having kids awakens an entirely new kind of love and happiness that you never experienced in your whole life….
but, if you’re a sociopath, definitely don’t have kids and collect money as an obsession or whatever….
first year is very hard, it gets much easier as time goes on….
nothing worthwhile is easy peasy
Wow everything about your comment and mindset is just a ball of toxicity and nope.
Yeah, let me just bring a human life into the world for my own selfish needs and desires without any consideration for them as a person...
It also ignores the many, many cases where children lose touch with their parents for various reasons, or the possibility that people care for each other without being forced to. Fortunately children (and spouses as well!) today can do whatever they want, leave their parents/partners if they try to emotionally blackmail them through wedding or blood contracts, and instead care for nice people.
i guess you missed the part about love
That's not what they were leading with
well, maybe take in the entire thing at once instead of picking one sentence to complain about and ignoring the context
So instead of lamenting the fact that our society has little to no support for the elderly you decide to attack people who have no children, and decide they are sociopaths?
absolutely no
I'm not collecting money. I'm struggling to survive. There's a difference!
I know a couple that didn't have kids. When they got older they told me that the massive amount of money they had was meaningless to them and regrets not having kids.
One became a CEO for a pretty large Taiwanese company but at night he worked as a professor in a nearby college . The wife did something similar. A high profile lawyer by day, a professor at night.
They eventually ended up "adopting" young adult as their daughter they both met in school that was putting herself through school.
They skipped stright into the good padt
It's not the fault of anyone alone that having kids is difficult, it has a lot to do with the economy and where the kids grow up. Sardonically braising someone for not wanting kids, especially if they may choose to have kids later in life, is a waste of words, especially considering how some people are born infertile, or sometimes become that way by giving birth. If you love kids so much, you should be taking care of them RIGHT NOW
not “not wanting” kids but ridiculing people who have them is my prob
Yeah because somebody who "isn't" a psychopath writes like that.
ok,
We have twins, currently 11 months old. Even we haven't been this degraded after the first 3 months. The first three were more surviving that anything else and to this day are the most challenging period of time I had to get trough in my life. After that it startet getting better. I even shower sometimes now.
