Kids are little disease vectors that drain your life-force and murder your dreams.

If you enjoy being broke, fat, tired, and boring, you should totally have kids. Come on, do it! Your friends and family just assume you’ll squeeze out one or two, you don’t want to disappoint them , do you?

I’m personally in the boat of seeing kids as adding to one’s life rather than draining it and making dreams rather than taking them away. But having kids is something my partner and I want. My only other dream is to ever own the roof over my head, but that’s not totally likely.

I feel that having kids would not seem as daunting for more people if we had real safety nets to support people that would even consider being parents. Such as free daycare, a basic income, universal healthcare, and stipends specifically to pay for costs associated with kids like for diapers, bottles, books, ever changing clothes sizes, etc.

Tbf, people who talk like this shouldn’t really have kids anyway so it’s an issue that resolves itself.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No it doesn’t. People fuck, kids happen. Recognizing people have human compulsions but don’t want to deal with the consequences requires forethought, whether that’s a condom, birth control, or sterilization. Fuck off with you “an issue that resolves itself” bullshit. Responsibility and self-awareness prevents it.

I have no idea what you are saying, did you reply to the wrong comment?

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 30 points 1 day ago

don't blame being fat and boring on kids.

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

If I'm already all those things, but don't enjoy it, kids can only make it better, right??!?
