Thought of having children and be forced to work for 18 more years to raise them is sickening to me

If I were 30-35, maybe I could've done it as I was more motivated to work

But now at age 41, the thought of having to work 18 more years is sickening.

Thoughts/feedback?

I personally wouldn’t have traded being a dad and husband for anything. My son is 19 and daughter is 17. Been married 22 years and have enjoyed it all. I suppose it’s not for everyone but being a dad is a blessing. The curse for me would be not having kids.

Well you don't have to start from scratch.

There are probably some nice 30 something single moms out there. Find one with kids in the 8 to 12 range and you will only be in for 10 years.

Who is forcing you to work?

I haven’t been to the office since my first kid arrived, except one time to get a phone upgrade

I've heard kids are expensive and I'd want to provide a good life for them so staying employed would make that easier

I’ve never had a job or stepped foot into an office. I’ve never even applied for a job because I’m a real free spirited man.

Lol

You think that letting some other guy decide
-how much you get paid
-for how long he feels like continuing to pay you
-how many hours you have to work
-what type of work job do
-where you do the work
-who you have to report to
-who you have to supervise

Is going to make your life easier?

Can’t make this shit up

If you're so selfish and lazy that having to work to support your kid is a legitimate concern, then it's a good thing you don't have one.

How old is your guy there?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

It'd be great if you have a cooperative wife. not so much if you don't.

No, lol.

What kind of MAN only gives 5-10% of their energy raising children.

Are you from the ghetto or something?

Well first, he definitely doesn’t have kids lol. And second, he probably has some “idealized” vision of 1950’s life in his head where he thinks men just ate food, had sex and went to sleep when they came home from work. In reality, it was never like that though. My grandfather and great uncles raised kids in the 50’s and 60’s and they were all extremely active fathers and who put in a lot of effort at home for their families

As far as I can tell my grandfathers just sat around and drank and watched TV after they got home

Their kids don't really like them though so that's the trade off

No idea how you roll bro, but if you're finishing inside, the first hint that she's trying to trick you will be when she tells you she's pregnant.
