The Puppy Bowl posted:It strikes me that adulthood is such a fictional concept that babies havin babies is really a sentiment that applies to all of us. I for one feel totally ill equipped to rear a well adjusted human being. Hell, the dog and I pretty much take turns regarding who's in charge. Honestly I'm fine either way--DINK life is great but having kids feels like something I should do. My wife's ovaries lost their goddamned mind recently though and she wants to pop some out as soon as she's done with her masters program. She was staunchly against babies up until like 6 months ago, too.

Wife and I are 42, no kids, still happy with it. We talk about it maybe once every year or two, just to make sure we're both on the same page and not having regrets. We probably would be really good parents but we also don't really like kids and don't want to give up all the poo poo we'd give up if we had kids. There's definitely that worry that maybe you've missed out on the most important thing in life, but that's just your genes talking. The reality is that the world doesn't need more people and if you've got brothers and sisters with kids (we do), you can be good uncles/aunts on your own terms and not have to destroy your lifestyle and bank account just to rear one with genes more closely matching your own.

I love you. This is the exact mentality to take. Also, if you and your wife's perspective changes down the road, there's no reason you can't adopt a kid or foster. There are plenty of wonderful kids out there that need loving homes, kids who already exist. Don't make more. I've met numerous people who looked me straight in the eye and told me that they couldn't love an adopted baby as much as they could love a baby they made. I think of this everytime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9euvJYg3Aqc

I think of this everytime: I mean, that's probably true? At least in as much as people are sort of biologically forced to love their biological baby, because for the first little while it's basically a filthy screaming parasite that any rational living thing would immediately abandon if they weren't being heavily dosed in the brain with powerful hormones and poo poo. But once they develop their own actual personalities then yeah uhhh. Of course you can love your adopted child just as much as one that you gave your genes to.

I'm torn, as desperate as we are for foster and adoptive providers, as a child welfare caseworker I'm actually extremely okay with this position. The fact is I've worked too many cases where a foster parent can't cut it, or worse, an adoptive parent decides to bail on a kid and return them like an unwanted puppy to the pound, and it's exponentially more traumatic for a kid to do that than the original separation from their bio-parents. If someone isn't fully committed to the long haul, that's fine, I'll take someone deciding in advance they don't have what it takes over a failed adoption any day of the week. That being said, there is a desperate need for homes, and people shouldn't worry about being the perfect parent. Just don't go in expecting you'll get a perfect kid, love them regardless, and the rest will work itself out.

A fresh hot apple pie with a side of vanilla ice cream is the best pie. But peach cobbler is also very good.

Maybe it's because I'm a functional adult human, but Jesus christ, even if I ever did do something that awful like returning a kid I adopted, the guilt afterward would probably be too much to take. poo poo, I felt guilty when I couldn't help my nephew over the phone navigate through a level in Pokemon to get an item he needed
