Something is wrong with people who do not want to have children.


I stand by this 100%. OP, you obviously have a mental disorder of some sort.

It involves a lifestyle change for some. There are plenty of people who could swing staying home but choose not to so they can buy new cars every year or two and take lavish vacations. I don't begrudge them at all, they just need to be honest about their choices. "I don't stay home because I want to have nicer stuff" is not the same thing as "I don't stay home because otherwise we can't eat".

Lol 7 pages? Why do people get so triggered, when someone realizes they don't want to have children and follow the typical way of life?

Also never understand why people say procreation is the meaning of life, like humans must appeal and devote their life to a basic occurrence of nature. If you want to have children, that's fine, but don't act like you are special for bringing child #108,000,000,076 into the World.

In between the 2 extremes you use as examples there's:

"I don't stay home because having 2 incomes provides some security/buffer against a job loss"

I don't stay home because I'm trying to save/invest for the future/retirement."

"I don't stay home because college/university has become expensive af and would like to help put my kid (s) through school without them ending up in debt up to their eyeballs."

"I don't stay home because I would like to raise my kid (s) in a safe, family friendly neighbourhood"

etc....

Since you clearly make a ton of money would a kid really be such a financial drag? Sounds like you could more than afford to do fun **** with them and enjoy whatever hobbys you have if any. Do you not have a relationship with your parents or enjoy doing things with your dad?

Nah dog, I am just LOLing at the thought of having kids. I am comfortable with my choice not to do it and don't get butthurt when someone has a dissenting opinion. The pro kid crew on the other hand... LMFAO I wonder how many boxes of kleenex these whiny *******s have gone through with all those tears.

I'm not talking about staying home for a decade, just during the crucial developmental years. Kid is headed off to kindergarten at 5. Saving for college, retirement, etc. can all be handled once the kids are through the crucial stage. A real man can support a family for a few years while his woman raises his kid(s)

Isn't your choice, while made by less, still pretty cookie cutter? There are really only 2 options, have kids... or dont.

You're not exactly original.

I turn 32 tomorrow. I've been with literally 100s of women. Traveled the world extensively. Own 2 mildly successful business... really was just time for a new challenge. My baby girl will be here in 3 weeks.


Not really looking forward to the first 5 yrs tbh, and worried about the loss of free time. I've grown real accustomed to just grabbing a plane ticket and going... but super excited about molding a 6-15 yr old.

Will have twin boys in 2 yrs. Got a connection where I can get it done for 10kish.


Strokes/folks bro. I get you're mostly trolling, but I guess if I was only 11 Phones tall I wouldn't want to pass on my DNA either...

Why the fuk would you want twins? Can't think of anything worse.

Just turned 32 and not even close to being financially ready. Think one boy would be nice though. Not sure I wanna be 50/60 and familyless. Must be pretty dull.

You shouldn't have kids if you are trying to mold a child into fulfilling your lost dreams or shaping them when they are their own person with their own thoughts, etc.

I sense that your kid will turn into a rebel.

I used the financially ready excuse for as long as I could. When she started making 6 figures herself, became a tough sell.

I want twins so hopefully they can push each other. Plus in the words of 50cent... "you get the same **** for 3 bodies as you get for 1 cuz..."

Molding =/= forcing or living vicariously through.

More in the line of planting seeds and fostering growth. Which absolutely can be done with children. Hell I do it with adults almost daily.


But yeah, it's my first child. I have NO idea how this will go.

LOL no one is crying. Just laughing at the ******* idea that you have. Passing on genes is our biological drive. This is literally our basic biological instinct. Do you understand this?


If you don't feel the need to do this then perhaps your genes aren't worthy to be passed on.

Surely you aren’t a complete idiot and realize that what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is being able to rise above our primal instincts and create society, pursue self interests, etc. if we were anything besides humans you’d have a point. But if every human on this planet did nothing but try to reproduce then we will have accelerated depletion of resources and mass overpopulation due to low intelligence folks like yourself that pop out kids like herp derp it’s mah obligation.

lol @ paying 10k for twins. lol @ having a "connection". its called invitro and anyone can get it done and have twins.

i got a 9 month old boy and i think i would have lost my mind if i had to deal with 2 babies at the same time. Id rather pay the 10k to make sure i dont have twins.

Out of interest, how far back should we be tracing our lineage? I once read that something like 1 in 200 men are direct descendants of Ghengis Khan.

Do we stop there? Or do we count all the way back to when we were pond slime?

Either way, it's pretty fukking mind-blowing that so many of today's generation are choosing to suicide millennia after millennia of their own bloodlines history, struggle and evolution.

LMFAO!!!

Out of interest, how far back should we be tracing our lineage? I once read that something like 1 in 200 men are direct descendants of Ghengis Khan.

Do we stop there? Or do we count all the way back to when we were pond slime?

Either way, it's pretty fukking mind-blowing that so many of today's generation are choosing to suicide millennia after millennia of their own bloodlines history, struggle and evolution.

LMFAO!!!
Let's be honest. How relevant are your grand-parents after they die. How often are they mentioned? What about your great-grands? It seems like a lot of people follow this narrative of keeping your bloodline alive, and keeping evolution going etc. in a weird way like they are somehow becoming immortal and defying death.

Again if you want to have kids then do it, but this random appeal to some ancient blood-line and keeping it going for all of history seems delusional to me. No one gives a fuk about people from over a century ago, let alone several millennia ago. I dont even know the names of my great-grands.

Yeah but nobody really actually decides "I want to keep mankind evolving, therefore I'll sire children".

It's just been a natural occurrence that has happened since time began.

UNTIL NOW IT WOULD SEEM.

It looks like the entire history and legacy of mankind is heading towards self destruction by means of not reproducing in favour of getting fast cars, screwing trannies and going on luxurious holidays.

It's quite a comical end to civilization if this is the case.
