26* haven’t live at home since 18


Well at 26 I didn't have kids either as I wasn't ready.

as a matter of fact I didn't get married until I was 32 and had first child at 33. I sure had my fun in my 20's(Like you are doing) but now wouldn't trade my two kids for anything in the world.

I'd assume you will be the same way you just not ready and that's a good thing. Enjoy this time in your life as you have plenty of time for kids one day if you desire.

Some of the best trips to LSU games I have taken I have had one or more of my kids w me. Great times and making memories. Also went to game 5 of World Series in Houston on my daughter’s nickel so good times. You have no idea what you are missing.

Yeah, I wish I could come home to an empty apartment with a fridge full of old pizza and cheap beer.

Way to not do your part for the betterment of society. Dumbasses keep cranking kids out and people that should have kids are too fricking selfish to do it.

I mean should people unable to conceive just get divorced?


A good portion of them actually do get divorced. Infertility puts a massive strain on a marriage.

I know, but the end result is the same, a childless marriage.

I don't get the weirdness of that.

It has some advantages. What is worse is seeing all the people swear off kids in their 20s/30s then pull a 180 in their 40s. The "oh shite" look in their eyes is funny.
I know too many that did this. It was and still is somewhat trendy. I had a talk with my son about the out of pocket expenses I watched so many go through to have infertility treatments. (one had infertility treatment, got pregnant with twins and they were stillborn but she kept on trying and had two children) When I told him ballpark figures, of the expense, they got an ovulation kit from the drugstore and made a baby weeks later.

I also know a couple that were in their mid 30's and tried for years. Her doc told her all of the BC pills in her system since she was 15 could have made it more difficult conceiving. But who knows?

Yeah, but the intent heading in to a civil/legal/religious union is different.

He's like 25. I didn't want kids at that age either. Got married a few years later and my thoughts on that changed.

Me and my wife were in our 30's when we had them. The way I see it, is that I fully enjoyed the hell out of my 20's. I would rather do that as a single man, than to enjoy my 50's married. You either get it on the front end or on the back end. I got it on the front end when I was young and could frick around.

It can be sometimes, in the moment, but I am always glad we did what we did.

Kids adapt to traveling when they are used to it

Not true

Taking birth control pills doesn't cause infertility. However, if you have been on them long term it may delay fertility for up to a year.

That is directly from my reproductive endocrinologist (fertility doctor). He is a highly respected expert in his field so I trust his knowledge base.
