Look don’t give a shite if someone doesn’t want to have kids, not quite sold on them myself, but that’s a stupid fricking list


It’s like they HAD to have 16 so they found a way to list 3 different ones that all basically amount to money

My favorite was the 'small talk' point. It's complete ignorance. It would be helpful for the writer to remember that although all parents have lived life without children, the childless have not lived life with children. She's not telling us anything we don't know but she doesn't have an understanding of what we do know.

No issues with the list - I wish more people decided not to procreate. It's really a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly in modern society but is. Nothing is more life changing than having a child and the highs are undescribable but the lows are significant as well.

The list can pretty much be summed up as "have more useless stuff you can't take with you" and "getting drunk".

My cubicle mate is outspoken about he and his wife’s decision to not have children. Compared to my wife and I (3 kids) they travel a little more, go out a little more, and have a little more financial freedom. There isn’t a huge difference in our lives, and nothing I don’t see evening out in the next decade when my kids leave the house.
