For a long time while we were dating my wife was adamant about needing to have kids before 30 or she would get cancer later in life, and now that we're both 29 she's the one saying "why would you want to bring a life into our impending nuclear holocaust", as if she's the one who's been reading this forum for years and not me  Despite how hard a lot of people make having kids out to be I still want one, maybe two. But at the same time nearly everyone I know who has is or is thinking about having them has one of three things going for them: -Lots of money -Family nearby -A stay-at-home work setup And I don't see my wife and I having any of those in the near future. We said we'd re-evaluate when we bought our own place (likely next year) but who knows. Probably Magic posted:Thanks for this! I have adamant curry at H-Mart all the time and want try it out at home. No problem, like I said curry is really easy to make but it's always a hit when we do.

You need someone to have flexible/open PTO because kids get sick at the worst time. Parents nearby alleviates this a bit, but poorer and dumber people successfully raise kids all the time, so where there's a will there's a way.

Yeah I'm sure we'll get there eventually but there's a couple things that I want to fall in place first (namely a better job for me and our own place). My parents aren't pressuring us to have kids right now and hers are actually advising us not to, even though I think they are secretly desperate for grandkids

You can be as involved as you want to be with most of the things that would appeal to me about kids (taking them do to fun stuff, teaching sports, helping out if they ask for something) and you never have to deal with all of the terrible cost or terrible things involved with having a kid. Downside: die alone, etc etc.

Y'all will know when it's right for you. Like someone else said, they're both the best and the worst and for me personally, the greatest thing to happen in my life.

Shipping is fan slang for wanting characters in a piece of fiction to hook up. Like wanting Kirk and Spock to gently caress.

One of my favorite moments was stumbling on the insane lady who was writing Roethlisberger x Hasselbeck fanfics after that superbowl. Christ, that was 11 years ago.

Yep, you're about to find out what those 5 letters mean if you don't know, and then feel as much shame as when you found out about furries. By the way, I have a 28 year old cousin who posts tons and tons and tons of this stuff about Voltron, and she is my source on so much of this culture.

Honestly there's a human trafficking joke made at least once a day at my work so I missed it because I somehow wasn't expecting it here. It's like when I worked for this A/V company and we would go to an office to hang a TV or whatever and it never failed that some idiot fucker would hold out his keys and go "oh you can put that in my trunk it's the red camry in the parking lot" EVERY. loving. TIME.

fsif posted:I'm having my first kid pretty soon. Any recommendations on parenting books? The happiest baby/toddler on the block are probably the most common sense books I skimmed through and are full of things that I figured most sensible people did. This isn't some humble brag, they're just what I thought were common sense things to do with a kid. No one knows everything about raising kids and just kinda makes it up as they go, but the only advice I can really offer are these: 1) Read to your kid every day, even when they're just a baby 2) Be patient. The kid legit doesn't know a thing and patience is the greatest gift you can give your child IMO 3) Find a balance for you and your wife to find time for yourselves. It can feel selfish as hell, but it's v important for your health and the health of the household 4) No shame in calling/going to the doc if you don't know what's going on 5) Every kid is different and develops differently, don't get caught on up on what you're kid isn't doing. Just enjoy your time with them
