A more thought provoking discussion would arise from posing a similar question to those who do not have kids.

But I know you’re not interested in that.

Of course. If I didn’t have my kids I could retire tomorrow, travel, really get back into tennis, and just do whatever I wanted.

Not having my kids and living that lifestyle at this point is the stuff of nightmares. God willing they bury me.

I think the kids are the result of engaging in sexual congress with a fertile woman. Engaging in sex with kids is just not cool.

Even without you defining what “it” is, yes they are.

Are kids worth it- It's a question I struggle with, but a couple of my kids turned out to be absolute hard-asses. If you've never watched your own child contribute to society by setting some idiot straight, well, you are missing out.

So while sitting in the living room I mentioned the possibility that he'd sent a dic pic. He was afraid for his life and admitted in front of his mother that this had occurred. The evidence, time and place, corroborates his story.
Mom might have something different but similar to feel guilty about, hence the silencio.

Send her a dick pic so you can break the ice to discuss.

PS: Post pics of her, for context. Thanks

I cannot imagine how meaningless my life would be if I didn’t have my kids.

Whenever I'm exhausted from my little ones, I take one look at all my childless friends posting on social that are either desperately seeking fulfillment in life through fancy food, trips, clubbing like they're still 25, etc, or the ones that treat a pet like a deity and realize how utterly unfulfilled my life would be without kids.


Whenever I’m relaxing in my large quiet peaceful paid off home or on vacation in Europe or the Caribbean I like to browse my social media and laugh at my miserable friends posting pics of their snotty kids going to school or having lame birthday parties. It’s quite the amazing feeling knowing you’ve made the right decision in life.

Together with wife for 35 years. Have never had money problems. We can go where ever, whenever we want. We can retire now if we wanted to depending on how frugal we wanted to be for rest of our life. Net worth 7 figures. I don't know what I don't know though. I won't have anyone to change my diapers when I get old but I'll be able to pay someone to change them I suppose. I don't regret it now. I may regret it at some point.


You missed out on the greatest experience in your short human life. Money can’t buy the feelings, emotions, and memories you have with kids. It’s an experience like no other.

There shouldn’t be a single person without kids posting in this thread at all.

One side knows what it’s like and the other doesn’t. We are biologically predisposed to want to procreate as a species. “Choosing to not have kids” is something relatively new in our society. The main reason is the 20-30 somethings making these decisions are stuck in some kind of weird perpetual 16yr old emotional state. It’s the most immature generation I’ve seen in my almost 60 years on earth.

You gotta be a joke of a man to expect your kids to pay you back all the expenses you paid for them as a child.

You know what was paying it back? When your father did it for you.

Know how your kids will pay it back? By paying for their kids expenses.

It's a chain.

Never would have thought so, until 14 months ago.

Now I say it's absolutely. worth it.

I'd be hella rich if I didn't, because not only would I not have kids, my wife wouldn't have quit her job to raise them. HOWEVER, I believe the option of having a family and being much less welloff is better than no family and welloff.

Maybe people should think a little before bringing kids into a world with a very violent future.

Absolutely 100% do not regret not having any. All I hear all the time from our friends are complaints about EVERYTHING. Complain about not having any free time. Not being able to do the things they used to love. The list go on and on. But then at the end of their complains the all say but its worth it and you can just see the deadness in their eyes. I get to do what I want when I want. The wife and I are always on the go doing something or going somewhere.

And to all the people who say we are going to die alone.
We got plenty of nieces and nephews to spoil. Then they will change our diapers when we are older and fight over our money.
