See what I mean? The venom is astounding. And I may or may not have kids at some point.

pretty funny coming from someone with that background

That's impressive.

It's amazing how much clickbait wisdom that dude has acquired at 30.

The two years of birth is awesome too. I've never seen that before.

Also, if you're a woman, I can't imagine wanting to spend the rest of your life with the irreversible damage that birthing a child does to your body

It’s almost as if I assumed you were bright enough to follow the understood “respectively.”

That article is disturbing. It’s more of the progressive push since the 60s to get white people to stop having children so they can work to flip demographics in the US and Europe. And it’s working. White people have been brainwashed into having no children while they import people who dump 7 or 8. The birth rates of the US and Europe are absurdly low.

This may come as a shock to you but there are a few tiers between "$20M NYC penthouse" and "alone, poor and eating at Sonic." Also, your concept money/travel leads me to believe that your idea of a "vacation" is Disney World.

My wife and I are both 29 and 30, with no kids, have a nice place in a nice city, and make enough money that in the past 3-4 years we've traveled to more places than most of the Disney Crew will travel their entire lives.

You're living the vanilla life your grandparents lived. It's cool if that's your thing. But it wasn't for me.

Sucks that you have to eliminate kids to be able to do that. Try getting out of middle management

It’s literally their purpose

just because life has continued in part thanks to reproduction doesn't mean reproduction is the "point" to life.

two slugs fricking don't care about "meaning". they just do it.

if you admit your narcissism is why you don't want kids then what i said is correct. why would i shy away from being right?

i'm not shaming you, it's like using the word "retarded" for a sub-70 IQ person. it's just stating a psychological condition. it's just a short cut instead of using the entire definition every time.

narcissism is a big deal. social media has basically made it the ideal and we've allowed the mindset to explode

Right? That's my thing: Who are we really listening to on child rearing? It seems that the silent majority is just that once again. Not all parents and parenting scenarios are the same, but there are groupings that can be made. My wife and I won't stop traveling or hanging out with friends, or having a drink, etc. We can afford to hire help if we want that redundancy that we've experienced for nearly 2 decades. And I'll never allow a child who's afforded Maslow's Hierarchy of needs by yours truly to ever become a pain my arse. He had better straighten his tail up or he's gonna be the one with a pain in his own arse. If a child is a PIA, it's the parents fault- and often the trashy parent's fault.

My wife and I waited over 10 years to get married. All along the way we had people give us their opinion, ask what we were so afraid of, and we were chastised weekly. The same thing happened with children after we got married.

But she and I march to the tune of our own drum, unlike the desperate author of this article who cares enough of what others think that they write about their justifications to be themselves. I have not a care in the world if a man and woman don't want children. I can see why they wouldn't because I was the same, and with one on the way I have some of those same premonitions still. But just like those who busted my balls over marriage and kids, I cannot stand the ones who belittle others for wanting marriage and children. What's so bad about waking up one day and deciding that I want to see the fruit of my glorious loins personified? I've lived, now my wife and I want to try this experiment called procreation and let live.

To hell with whether or not my kids will visit me in a home. (Their azzes better or they won't get any inheritance.) The only person I'll ever be worried about being beside me, the onky person that I will follow into a home and in to the grave, is my wife. I want a child. She wants a child. WE WANT A CHILD, and so a child we will have. Together. Frick all the rest of the white noise.
