Kids learn from their parents the most. And what I learned from my parents growing up is that they really shouldn't have had me and my two sisters.

[@thebrittdrake]

SAME. So much of my decision to not have kids is a result of growing up with two very immature, mentally unstable parents who started a family way too young (20 & 22) before their own brains were fully developed, before they ever had a chance to experience their marriage or adulthood childless, before they ever took the time to be introspective and work on their traumas and toxic behaviors or even learn how to communicate effectively. Now they are in their mid-late 50’s. My mother has grown a lot and my father a little. My childhood would have been much less tumultuous and damaging had that growth occurred BEFORE having 4 kids. Just sayin.

The last guy totally gets me. A bit of advice would be to be on the exact same page when it comes to kids before getting married. If one person wants kids, but the other doesn't, it won't work out. If one person says "not now, but maybe later" and the other is adamant about not wanting kids, it more than likely won't work out, because women who say "maybe" about kids usually want them later on in life once those maternal instincts kick in. I say that as a woman/nonbinary who has no maternal instincts, never wants kids, and has talked to plenty of women going through the "baby crazy" phase. It usually happens in their mid-twenties to early thirties. But I digress. My point is that you should talk about kids before settling down with anyone. You both need to be on the same page 100%. Kids are a huge deal and they shouldn't be brought into this world without a lot of thought and discussion. Be with someone who matches you on core values and goals pertaining to important life decisions, like children, marriage, finances, beliefs, and expectations. Don't settle. It's okay to leave someone if they're not a good match. You both deserve to have a partner that's right for you. Just make sure you decide these things before marriage so that you're not stuck with a painful and expensive divorce. Know your partner. Don't jump into marriage during the puppy love phase. See them at their absolute best and worst and have them see yours, too. Know their quirks, personality, flaws, mannerisms, attitude, etc inside and out. Live together before marriage. Trust me on that. You never know your partner fully till you're under the same roof day in and day out. My fiance and I have been together 16 years and we're still learning. Communication is key.

Why should anyone have the right to snatch a soul out of the ether just for that person to suffer and die? Every cradle is a grave. And children should never have a job when they first come into existence- whether it is to make their parent's life have meaning, fix their parent's relationship, or keep their parents sober. Procreating is unethical because the unborn cannot consent to being born. Not having children derives not from dislike, but from love too great to bring them into this world, too limited, too vain, too cruel. A coin is examined, and only after careful deliberation, given to a beggar, whereas a child is flung out into the cosmic brutality without hesitation. It is curious that while good people go to great lengths to spare their children from suffering, few of them seem to notice that the one (and only) guaranteed way to prevent all the suffering of their children is not to bring those children into existence in the first place. www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/antinatalism

@aris B I definitely agree that if you bring a child into this world with the sole purpose of your own material gain is selfish, and there are many people that have children for purely selfish reasons, and my point in my original comment was that if your purposes are selfish you shouldn't have children, and that many of the reasons for not having children are selfish,but I probably worded it poorly, and also can you explain why someone would have a child with someone they hate, so that they can stay with said hated person, or am I framing the problem wrong?

[@catiscray4133]

*makes shotgun sounds" "tou got bit" 😂😂 I died. I'm 35, my boyfriend is 23. All my appropriately aged bfs left me to have kids. This one will to, he just doesn't know it yet. He slips and says shit like, well my kids. And I'm just like cool, good to know this is temporary. Idk man. It's hard. He gets mad that I expect him to leave but he says shit like that. I have not seen one person I know, have kids and suddenly become happier people. Don't add a child to your miserable life with the expectation that kid give your life meaning. Then get disappointed and resent it when it doesn't. So many traumatized little kids out there with parents that use them like accessories. I guess maybe they will be good comedians someday.

@@xPsychoBunny you're saying the same thing I'm saying you don't like the demand that comes with being a parent to them. There's no such thing as bad kids only bad parenting.

[@shinobusora]

Mmmm nope. I don't like kids. I tolerate them if I absolutely have to. They're sticky, stinky, annoying, boring, and the sounds they make are atrocious. Older children are only slightly less of all of those things and therefore only slightly more tolerable, but even they get on my nerves quickly. There are kids that aren't any of those things or are only some of those things, but they are exceptions to the rule. I would not enjoy being a parent because I don't like children.

[@DIGITAL7Media]

I heard a creative podcast speak about how many artists called their children "dream killers". I heard that early on and made a conscience effort to make sure I balanced my creativity and artistry with being a great father. Kids are a handful but if you can find your best balance, then it's pretty damn awesome. I love being a dad even though at times kids make you want to bang your head against the wall. I do hate the pressure women put on other women to have kids. Then it gets cult like.

[@incorectulpolitic]

YES! Be fruitful and multiply so the' loving' and 'merciful' God can send 8- 9 out of 10 people to hell to burn for eternity. I mean who would God send to hell to burn for forever if breediots did not force innocent souls against their will into this hell on earth and then be sent to hell for forever by an all 'loving'/'merciful' God. Breeding is so moral, ethical, rational, logical and un-selfish.

If you can make it through the baby rabies in your 30's you'll be fine. Sometime in your 30s your body and mind will try to trick you into wanting it - you'll have dreams about babies, you'll be weepy about anything to do with babies, etc. Luckily though, it only lasted about 2 years, but was only intense for about a year. During that time you are not your own friend, don't trust yourself - and remember its just your body reacting and influencing your mind, it's not real.
