My sister has a kid that's 10 now and as much as I enjoy more and more being the cool uncle as the kid gets older as much I would probably kill myself if I had to take care of that 24/7, there is permanently something else. Next door to my condo there lives an old couple who never had kids either (no idea about the reason, none of my business) and they're basically traveling non-stop which I imagine to be nice. Downstairs on the other hand there lives an even older couple who has two kids. The woman is very hard to get rid of because she has nobody really to talk to since her husbands mind is slowly going because of Alzheimers. One son doesn't really talk to them anymore, the other low-key already thinks about shoving them off to some retirement home to get the nice condo. He doesn't even allow them to put pictures up because he doesn't want to have holes in his walls. They went months without a stove until I couldn't watch it anymore and installed it for them, something he kept promising over and over but was "too busy" to do. If I ever meet him I'm probably going to punch him in the face.

You realize there's a group that deals with elder abuse, right? You're supposed to call them when this happens so they step in make sure this gets fixed. Call them and at least let them know what's going on. Worst case, they say "it's legal" but at least let them known.

just spent the last half hour heating up a bottle and feeding the baby at 4:00 am because he's not old enough yet to go through the night. normally this takes my wife 10 minutes because it's a lot quicker to just take out a warm tittie, but shes away for the weekend at a bachelorette party. i guess one of her friends just realized that once you hit 30 you no longer have the capacity or ability to be cool anymore so you might as well get married and have kids.

Nothing illegal about being a lovely kid who eyes his future inheritance. It's their condo. He isn't obliged to do anything except wait until they can't be on their own anymore to upgrade his living arrangements. It's as counterpoint for all the people that tell themselves "my kid will be my retirement insurance one day". How much do you feel like taking care of the everyday problems of someone who's 75+? Yeah, I thought so. It is not a very good plan, especially if you are from a culture that doesn't put much stock in family and caring for elders.

It's fine if you have 2 sets of local grandparents who don't mind looking after your little angel so you can still go down the pub with your mates.

Being able to take pretty much whatever jobs you and your spouse want, while still saving money and enjoying cool poo poo often, merely because you don't have a constant money-suck that you're obligated to care for until they move out at 18 (if you're lucky), owns pretty loving hard. Hate your job? Lol, quit and find another. Living expenses of two people who don't blow cash on meaningless stuff are pretty minimal. Throw even a single, idiot child into that mix: sorry about your bad job and how you dread every single day you have to step foot in there because you literally can't afford to quit Also: there is zero guarantee you'll raise a person you won't be terrifically embarrassed of, or, even worse, who won't end up killing themselves, or others. Fuuuuuuuuuuck that. I love my parents to death, but I know a lot of people in their 20's and 30's who don't talk to theirs and/or don't like them.

Most don't have the self awareness to truly get something out of having kids, so it inevitably becomes a recurring cycle of abuse that was inflected upon you.

Nobody's gonna just come right out and say that they hate raising children. Usually. I mean, that'd definitely make them look bad.

You can have people shooting up heroin they whored their 5 year old out for and tell themselves that it probably was not the worst thing to do and they kind of had a point doing it. It's just how the human brain works.
