At least people who have kids in their 20s still get to look down on the narcissists who spend their 40s dropping six figgies on conceiving an autistic frankenbaby that will devour the rest of their time on this on earth because they were too proud and self-absorbed to just adopt.

I think these people who don't want to have kids are just natures way of keeping bad genes out of circulation.

After the people openly admitting that they had kids because of a selfish desire for validation and/or an indentured servant to care for them in old age, this is my favorite self-own from defensive parents in threads like these. :biotruths::hf::godwin:

sorry that you didn't decide to stay in shape and strengthen your body while you had the chance, dipshit. the only person to blame for your weak knees and bad arthritis is yourself.

if Gordie Howe can play hockey until he's 52 years old, your stupid rear end should be able to handle Doing Things™ at 45

One of my favorite success stories to come from e/n was a guy who was arguing about having kids with his wife because he felt that she wasn't responsible enough to care for them and was in such poor shape that he was worried that it might effect the baby's health during pregnancy or leave them without a mother at an early age. So he finally came to an agreement with her that if she could get in good enough shape to run a 5k then he would agree to try and conceive a child with her because that would convince him that she was serious enough about taking care of herself and their potential kids...and then she wound up giving up because thirty minutes of exercise three days a week was just too much effort.

If you aren't even capable of taking care of yourself then you're nowhere near capable of being responsible for another person.
