Am I the only person who cringes at the idea of having a kid? A friend of mine just revealed his partner was pregnant and it made me happy I had no kids while also feeling awful for him.
Meanwhile everyone on the planet is saying congratulations like having a money sucking parasite for 18 years is a fun thing to deal with.
I don't necessarily agree but I can see why you might feel that way and it's fine. I wouldn't get angry at others for their choice tho. Good thing about kids is that it's mostly under your control unless a condom slips up or breaks.
Kevin Clark
I said angry but what I really meant is upset, my bad
Joseph Johnson
I’m not angry, I was just wondering if I was the only one who didn’t reflexively feel happy. I do lowkey feel bad about it, but I am who I am.
Julian Harris
People that dont have children tend to regret it as they age. But enjoy your youth.
Charles Walker
Yeah dude. You're the only person in the whole world who doesnt want to have kids...
Easton Clark
Nah man. I have a child. I felt the same as you some time ago but I guess my feelings just shifted somewhere down the line. I can say all the bullshit "you dont know what love is..." all day long but the truth of the matter is that some people just arent meant to have kids and that's perfectly fine. You do you brother
Mason Long
love shit makes me cringe, so i doubt ill ever have one. i'd have to be completely intoxicated in love with a woman and have her persuade me daily for it to happen.
Jeremiah Sanders
I'm also really repulsed by the idea of having a child. Just pregnancy and birth alone scare me, but then having to give up my free time and career for that child? Definitely no.
Robert Young
furthermore, the rise in sexual promiscuity means more kids have to accept the fact that their mothers and fathers will likely be separated and will grow up in broken homes with broken families Just like you dreamed about eh?
Grayson Ortiz
I used to not want kids. Wife got pregnant, and I was nervous, anxious, unsure what to do. Then my daughter was born, and she's the best thing that ever happened to me. Life is way more fun now.
Mason Kelly
When you realize you want to raise someone to try and make the world a better place and hopefully teach them to love and enjoy doing the things you do and teach life lessons to. Its truthfully the only way to realize how much your parents loved you or messed up. I'm a grown man with a wife, I'm a pretty cynical person but when your baby grabs you and smiles at you for the first time money doent matter and your happy just to make them smile. My kids give me hope in this world. Kids changed me for the better.
I dont really want any personally. Earth is a bit crowded. Plus it's kinda going to shit too. I'm not going to give my seat up on a bus for a pregnant woman either. Why should I sacrifice being comfy all because some girl let some random guy bust a nut inside her?
Samuel Walker
Kids aren't nearly as expensive as anyone says.
I just got a 200 dollar stroller for 15 bucks at a yard sale. Most of what they eat would've just been waste had they not existed. Diapers are like 30 bucks for a whole fucking crate. You can get a bag of cloths for 5 bucks at a thrift store because babies don't care if their shit's slightly used and it doesn't matter. People gift you so many fucking toys and cloths most people don't even have to buy any themselves if you have family.
The only expensive part for me so far was formula, and that didn't last very long. They at least keep you from being bored. Kids under 4 also sleep like 12 hours a day and take a nap, they don't cut into your time that bad.
I hate kids too. I'm in my mid 20's and am happy w/o them. I don't have the sanity nor do l want to surrender my freedom just to have a kid.
Ryan Lewis
No. Your not alone. My old best friend had an abortion. Then he felt guilty. Then his girl went on birth control. She stops taking the pill... Surprise surprise...pregnant again. Now,they are bringing a kid into this fucked up world at a time like this. I don't understand how he can be so stupid and continue to have sex after the whole abortion thing. You guys literally murdered a fucking baby. Now you guys are retarded and having kids. How great. Look. I don't mean to be judgemental but for goodness sakes condoms exist for a reason.
Michael Adams
No. You're not. Don't judge others if they want them, and don't let anyone tell you you're selfish or wrong or whatever bullshit they give you. Do you.
Dominic Martinez
yeah I feel a bit similar... and my wife isn't really too much into kids either, she wants us to enjoy our time together, not having to recalibrate lifestyle and habits around a kid
Christian Brooks
Good goy, never have children. Let your race go extinct.
Tyler Morgan
Yeah but what about when you have to deal with tuition? Unless there’s a miracle college will be hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time the kid is 18. If you cant send them there, they’re screwed. I myself barely made it back into the middle class after growing up, I can’t imagine putting someone else through that hell. The economy is just dogshit and it gets worse and worse. To say nothing about the environment. Idk man, I just worry about the future, it’s pretty dark for all of us, but the young especially.
Carter Young
>literally murdered a baby A fetus isn’t a baby user, it dies immediately if not attached to the mother. Read a book.
Also make sure to cover your junk in tinfoil in case the Jews use 5G to irradiate your aryan nutsack. The lizardpeople are watching!
Oliver Harris
Nah, it's justified. Having a kid makes the parent change as a person, they're never the same after that. There's too much that goes into a kid to raise them properly (or hell, just the bare minimum).
No OP you aren’t alone! My wife wants kids so badly and I don’t yet. It’s rather stressful in a bad way. I want her happy and I do want kids eventually but not right now!
Jaxson Wood
I want to get someone pregnant....just not take care of the kid. Does that make sense?
Henry Long
Make sure you're very clear you want them eventually. Set a clear goal. Tell her now *when* you want them, and show you are working towards that goal.
If she wants kids and loses her trust you do, which she will if you just sound like you're putting it off and off and off, she'll leave you.
Also if you're waiting for some kind of financial perfection, pro-tip: It will never be the perfect time, ever.
Wyatt Scott
There is literally nothing else to do in your 30s, 40s and 50s. Having a kid in your early 20s is stupid, but I've reached the point where I've grown bored of everything else. I've traveled the world, partied a fair share, fucked random bitches, etc. I'm having a kid in a few months and I'm 35 now. I'm definitely excited but don't expect others to be.
Tyler Roberts
I don't want kids. I can barely live alone with myself.
Ethan Howard
That makes you a nigger
Gavin Rivera
As a pedophile I'd love to have kids. Whatever the cost of having my own little girl to cuddle up with would be worth it.
Benjamin Thompson
Yeah I think it’s part financially driven. I’m 26 and only completed 2 years of college. I stopped going, but now I want to go back and finish my degree. We also live in an apartment and I want to get a house first before we have kids. I feel like if I can accomplish those 2 things I’ll be okay with having them.
Jack Barnes
Ok. But my main point is make sure she knows and is well aware of your intentions and goals. Trust me. She might just leave you if you're too vague. She needs a tangible attainable time in the future to set her gaze on.
Like have the talk tonight even.
Angel Thomas
Thanks user! I think I will! Cause I do want to have several kids, just not ready yet.
Justin Stewart
If you're bored, you're boring. The world is overpopulated as fuck already. Having kids is the death of hobbies.
Henry Young
35, wtf man too old. Should have just not had any if you were going to wait for the first wildebeest to say yes.
Brandon Hughes
my wife is 13 weeks and im happy as fuck. we miscarriaged last November, actually there was no development so idk if you can even consider it a miscarriage. I've always wanted to impregnate a girl and pass on my genes though. I know the world can suck, but having my wife, and once i have a child, I will be around loved ones all the time. I've always been alone though so maybe thats why. I'm a ginger and got made fun of growing up and no girls liked me, i assumed id be alone forever, but i like sharing my life with a person i chose, and i want to have that with a child too.
Ryan Walker
Its not that I'm bored in life, I'm bored with the same shit from all my single friends. Its not interesting or challenging to go to the bar every friday and get drunk. My wife wanted a kid like 10 years ago, I wanted to wait until both our careers were cranking. Shes thankful we waited to this point. And shes pretty skinny
Jose Evans
only adults like to have children. children don't like to have children. you need some growing upping.
Jace Thompson
damn son, 26 in college and apartment? the lay off screwed you, hope you get a good job though. i started working instead of college since I didnt know wtf to do. i bought my house at 28, and became branch manager making good money at 26 since I've been here so long.
Jayden Long
Why is going to a bar your only hobby though? Idk there are just plenty of things I can think of that would be more entertaining than having a kid. I get that it is one of the most fulfilling things a person can do but that's because we are so biologically inclined to pass on our genes that our brains reward us more for successfully raising kids. I would honestly feel guilty bringing kids into the world at this point.
Jaxon Martin
Keep telling yourself that. You know what I'm doing Saturday night? ANYTHING I WANT! NO babysitter required.
Jose Torres
Nigga, you baby broke and don't know it.
Ryder Green
I would love to have a kid, if it was like year 853 and I didn't have to do anything at all except let the servants and women raise it. I absolutely do not have time for that shit right now, I enjoy my life and time too much
Brandon Kelly
>Life is way more fun now I get it, I'm sure you love your kid, but this is bullshit and you God damn know it. Don't say shit like that if you want to be taken seriously
Jordan Reed
Unfortunately its the closest thing humans have to living forever/immortality.
When there is a better way to preserve ourselves, children will become obsolete.
Cameron Allen
>they don't cut into your time that bad You have to raise them for a minimum of 18 years and their lives take priority over yours. Time that you once spent traveling, playing guitar, going on a date with the wife, playing video games, taking on projects, learning a new hobby, exercising, hanging out with friends, going to concerts, watching movies, reading books, or simply just sitting quietly outside on a nice day enjoying the weather, is DRASTICALLY reduced.
LOL you keep typing "cloths" and talk about your welfare lifestyle; it's obvious you're a retard that gets state assistance for your mongoloid doomed idiot child(ren)
Nolan Morgan
Learn a trade, apply to clean hog shit out of trailers for 12 dollars an hour, drive a truck, or be a cable guy, there's a fuck load of blue collar jobs you don't really even need a highschool diploma for that pay over 10 dollars an hour.
80% of people in college are wasting their time and money.
Dominic Russell
I felt the same until I had my kids.... Don't see them often now but still the best days of my life.
Evan Fisher
I have intense urges to impregnate a woman, but I don't want kids at all.
Dominic Lewis
>CoLlEGe Cause it's not like contractors and tradesmen make any money. Fuck, I have a union job making a base of 72k, and that's not even the top rate I'll be getting at the end of the year, and I have no degree at all. Don't be retarded in the future pleas
John Stewart
I don't get state assistance. Kids grow out of cloths so fast the first two years it's not fucking worth buying them when I can get expensive brands like okey dokey for 2 dollars an outfit at a 2nd hand store.
Kids outgrow shit so fast 2nd hand shit is barely used.
Leo Morales
Having a kid the thing im most afraid of, compared only to getting a serious disease.
Time is already so limited to do fun stuff, why the fuck woud I waste minimum 18 years on someone else lmao
Oliver Hughes
God damn you sound dumber than the sort of person you've just described.
Grayson Williams
I love my daughter but my life is mine. I'm responsible for raising her into a decent human being and keeping her safe. As she grows older her happiness is her responsibility not mine. I love seeing her happy and I enjoy doing things that make her happy but that's still for me, but if I raised her as if her life had automatic priority over anyone else's and she comes to expect that type of behaviour from other people later in life, well she's going to end up as a piece of shit isn't she?
Easton Wright
Whatever you say niggo, enjoy your goodwill "cloths" and shopping at Aldi when the church food drive isn't quite enough.
John Garcia
I haven't done it...but I'd consider it a niggerish quality. I dont think they actively try to get someone preggo....but that BBC cant be tamed and needs to be fed.
Lincoln Kelly
>money sucking parasite for 18 years
>the most important thing is me and my happiness
You can make a literal human.
Henry Cook
Lmao found an angry fat dad. What's wrong bud, do you have to bring your shitty kid to some dumb birthday party this weekend so you're just taking your anger out on the internet?
Charles Martin
Absolutely this!
my daughter was born boxing day and seeing her smile at me warms my heart so much. I cant wait to see the interactions with my 2 year old son.
You just don't understand since you don't have a kid. Unless you have terrible parenting skills kids are great. Gives your life some actual meaning instead of coming to Yea Forums 15 hours of your day just shuffling through life with no real goal. Reproduction is single greatest task for humanity or any species for that matter. Live long and prosper.
But that being said some people shouldn't be parents. No need to pass on inferior genes or weak ideologies.
Xavier Scott
Any pedo dads here? Just curious.
Jack Cooper
I see you had a bad day at McDonald's son. After you wipe your edgy teen ass I could take you to Hot Topic if you'd like.
Samuel Stewart
I also have a daughter and he's 100% right. Life is much better now and yes more fun. It's something you can't understand till it happens to you. Funny thing about having the freedom to go and do whatever you want is that it becomes quite empty. The love and fun you get from your kid is worth the price of being busier
Dylan Watson
You're missing my point entirely and are just trying to antagonize me for being frugal you colossal homo.
Carson Parker
hypocritical Level 1000 achievement.
Noah Mitchell
every one of you are the result of millions or billions of years of life bringing forth life, and it all comes to an end with you. I would like to believe you amount to more than worm chow but it is clear from bragging about being able to "go out" whenever you like, that you have no greater commitments to others, contribute little to society and should not have the right to vote
Evan Perez
This man's right you know
Colton Roberts
Do you not have a job? A career? You could literally do anything! A goal as a person, rather than a parent?
Jack Miller
Because you are one.
Wyatt Cruz
We know it's you, Juan de La Rosa Torres Ramirez Santiago Gonzales.
Christian Wright
I have a kid, and I still play vidya, my drumset, produce music, and play guitar.
I look forward to sharing these hobbies with my kid if they ever show an interest.
You're a tard.
Zachary Walker
idk, i like my kids but some people wouldn't make good parents and i would tell those people not to have kids, they need your a game and if you like turning in d- performances, they'll fuck your shit up big time.
Angel Brown
Yeap ignore the thing that you will love most. That sounds smart.
Ryan Price
This. Bunch of hedonistic manchildren in here. >Muh free time Free to do what? No hobby or friends will ever fulfill you like holding your baby in your arms. But I'm sure you guys know better. After all, you did have 0 children, so you must be the expert. Have fun playing video games all throughout your life.
Justin Hill
>My old best friend had an abortion. Then he felt guilty
