Ya man you have the kids and then they say stuff like "I love you" so it feels pretty good. also you gotta work 60 hours a week to support them and worry about their well-being in lieu of irreversible social degradation

having a kid sounds like a great choice for gambling addicts. they’ll probably be a total loser and money down the drain. but there’s a small chance of winning a good kid who earns a ton of money and pays of their parents’ mortgage.

It's not for everyone op, but for those who really want it, it can be a tremendously rewarding experience and you can put em to work with chores and poo poo and (hopefully) someone to take care of you when youre old and making GBS threads yourself

I was hanging out with my niece and nephew last weekend, they kick rear end. We spent the whole time roasting their dad and laughing our asses off. So yeah, have kids so your siblings can have a blast teaming up with them against you.

Maybe if you're a rich rear end in a top hat and can therefore offer reasonable odds that they'll a) have enough money to live comfortably and b) become big enough assholes themselves that they won't be constantly engulfed with remorse over how utterly hosed everybody else is. Otherwise no, probably not

honestly it feels like either the internet or SA is anti-kid due to climate change/poverty/life succing. but i never hear this in real life. maybe my age group is just getting kid-anxious. i think its a valid choice but ill probably have kids due to a partner wanting them. and like who will i leave my trash treasures to when i die?

Anecdotally, the friends in my life choosing not to have kids are choosing not to simply because it's just...not their thing and not that the world is burning down or Earth is dying or anything like that

Well people are a lot less likely to say this stuff in real life, you could potentially insult someone with kids. Online you can revel in it.

I work with a lot of boomers and they're generally jealous of me for not having kids because the alleged tradeoff of sacrificing your early life to have someone take care of you later is obviously not panninng out for them, though whether they sacrificed much in the first place is a reasonable question.
