ManBoyChef posted:were you constantly "boomin'" up the flavor of dishes you were making in front of her or something? Thats kind of an odd first word. Ngl, I read it the Dutch way at first (it means "tree"). Katamari Democracy posted:I do not want kids. But being unmarried at 35 is very daunting. As a 35 year old never-married single childless woman who doesn't want children, I've just kind of accepted that I'm going to be single forever unless I make an extremely concerted effort to find a husband. It could be worse, of course, but getting married & living the DINK life does seem pretty awesome. Zugzwang posted:It was while reading a book about the weather.

EL BROMANCE posted:Nothing quite like looking at a life full of hobbies and travel and saying ‘I don’t want any of this anymore’ for some people I guess. basically this, unironically. the tradeoffs are tremendous, if you're asking the question definitely don't do it because looking at this through any rational or material-based view will lead to the conclusion that it's an expensive way to add a lot of stress to your lives anyone who has kids and says otherwise lacks basic self-awareness or is lying to you, or both. anyone who actively exerts any pressure on you to have kids is compensating for something or unhappy with their own decisions. (or is Elon Musk, but being rich enough to not suffer any of the consequences of having kids and then also choosing to do that just makes you a weird piece of poo poo)

YeahTubaMike posted:Cracked nipples, I've heard of everything else but this is a new one, good lord. The reason people have kids is they hit "that age" where they're so busy and miserable with work/relationship, they realize they don't have any friends anymore and the magic if life is gone. So kids fill in that gap and they get to watch their children have all the fun they never will have again.

lol there's a lot of incredibly cynical and dare I say goony as hell posts in this thread. like I don't want kids, im selfish and want to dedicate the rest of my life to myself. but I can see how it would be incredibly important and probably very rewarding for the people that do want them, like cmon it's not hard to figure that out. instead of trying to convince yourself that having kids is terrible and you're a big clever clogs for not having them lmao

Panic! At The Tesco posted:cynical and dare I say goony as hell posts . Opinions about this from non-parents are boring to me unless they're exceptionally bad takes, I didn't read the whole thread but most of the vitriol is well under that watermark. Piss Creep posted:This is something I found horrifying as the only male in a family of females. When my sisters and nieces got older and the elders were saying where are the kids? yeah it's gross as gently caress. Zero of that from either of our families, thankfully. For all I know, if any pressure had been exerted, then our obstinance might have triggered a different decision tree. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Jan 12, 2023 |

Once I realized “passing on my genes!!” was the dumbest poo poo imaginable my wife and I decided to adopt 2 kids. People go all day about adopting puppies instead of going to a breeder but then again people also get more upset when a puppy is hurt over a human. There are a very very very large number of children across the world in need of a loving home and food on the table.

Panic! At The Tesco posted:lol there's a lot of incredibly cynical and dare I say goony as hell posts in this thread. It's possible to not get it without being cynical about it (I think). On paper it's like, yeah okay you have kids which is a normal natural basic human instinct which is cool, but I'm not going to sit here & pretend that voluntary parenthood makes total sense to me. If anything, that's a fault of MINE, not the fault of parents or people who want children. edit: Colonel Cancer posted:Self acceptance is important lol don't let anyone shame you for not having kids I know I already talked about the trials of being a 35 year old single woman who doesn't want children, and I must add that almost every guy I've encountered on various dating sites who openly states that he doesn't want children either has pathological vehement hatred of them or pathological vehement misogyny toward mothers in particular. It was kind of scary. YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jan 13, 2023 |

FoolyCharged posted:A big reason people have their own kids rather than fostering is because foster kids have all suffered trauma and will need to heal around that. I'm a huge proponent of rescue dogs, but my parents dog that would go suffered literal ptsd flashbacks and hide terrified in the bushes at night isn't for everyone. A lot of foster kids have seen some poo poo in the way that a kid that has only known love can't But it ends up being the most rewarding thing you ever do. Chillin’ on the couch with my 3 year old watching bootleg Spanish Cocomelon singing Chu Chu Ua.

I have kids because i am an optimist I am also awesome. My SO is even awesomer still. We owed it to the world to make better people, and we did. My kids are all better people than i am. Do i have piles of money, and free time, and so many cool hobbies? Lol hell no, of course not. I used to, and I voluntarily gave it up to have kids, and i do not regret it in the slightest. I have been shat on, pissed on, and barfed on. I have struggled with trying to make a toddler understand why running and screaming in a restaurant is not cool. I have helped my kids deal with middle school. I have learned all the math again wtf why did we have to learn 6 different methods to find a common denominator wtf?!?. ( i know exactly why and i wish i had been taught that way in retrospect) I have levitated 2 inches off the couch from stress when my kid drove away from the house solo for the first time. Would i trade this away to get back money/time/hobbies/travel??? gently caress no. The most meaningful, positive, and hopeful thing i have done with my life is to painstakingly craft these people into people worth knowing and talking to. If you dont want kids, thats cool. You have to find your own path in life. My path is not your path, and thats ok. Your existence is meaningful and valuable whether you have kids or not. E: our existence as people in the world is meaningful and valuable whether we have kids or not. fresh_cheese fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jan 13, 2023 |

N. Senada posted:I’m being sincere here just to be clear Made them the old fashioned way. Dont regret it because i absolutely do not regret my kids in any way at all, but i was not as fully read up on how positive it would have been to adopt at the time. We were young and dumb as one tends to be when one decides to have kids. If we get the hankering to add another we will absolutely adopt.
