You ever think maybe they are not thinking of themselves, but of you?
You get about one shot to leave something lasting in this world, and when that time is over it is gone for good.
I had two, one will never have kids because of his physical situation. He will die alone because his mother and I will be long gone. The other only had one because he and his wife are so into material things they didn't want more. They will leave a daughter alone. I hope she has the sense to not follow in their footsteps, and finds a husband with a large family.
Life is about the people you have in your life, and there is no substitute for family. I am far to old now, but I wish we had had a half dozen kids. I have felt this way for about the last twenty years, but even back then the time had passed.
I love your honest and truthful response, Oblakkhan.
Prescient.
Cheers fren.
Meh, easier said than done.
I wouldn’t want to have kids until I know I can home school them and afford to.
Lived in that place once, but we realized we would never get there. Decided to just do it and God has repeatedly blessed our journey.
Yeah but at what cost?
I had kids bc my spouse wanted them and I didn’t want to be selfish. I never even liked kids before, for every pro I found I would find 10 more cons. But They’ve changed my life completely in ways that I could never have imagined. I always heard bullshit from other people about how your life isn’t complete without kids. As fulfilled as I was before kids, they are next level in fulfillment. Seeing God’s work in action, seeing how the soul develops and is nurtured. My kids have deepened my understanding of myself, humanity and spirituality.
There is no right or wrong, your path will find you.
Wow that's beautiful. At my age I'm thinking about it a lot.
Just a question, for you or anyone else who feels they can answer.
Do you think you could find the same fulfillment with adoption? My lady and I have talked about this before, a good buddy of mine at work was adopted and he adopted 2 and had 1 of his own. Is there a difference or do you think there would be?
I think about raising kids and its something I'd like to do at some stage. We would have some issues trying to have a baby the 'natural' way, I know. I hate seeing all the unloved children out there who need a family; it makes me really sad. I don't get overly concerned about contributing to overpopulation but adopting is a way to avoid that problem too.
Just wondering if it would be different, and/or what issues unique to the adoption process or raising adopted kids comes with.
Do you think it would feel different at all from having your own?
I gave birth to two, adopted four. Love them all more than life. Ask me anything.
Interestingly enough a few nights ago I was thinking of the same thing…if it would be different if I adopted. Honest answer…I don’t know. I want to say it wouldn’t make a difference bc it’s the process that matters. At the same time, when it’s your own kid you see characteristics physically and behaviorally of yourself in them that are innate, so if you adopt maybe you’ll miss that, for lack of a better term, genetic connection. It’s nice but at the same time I don’t think it’s a deal breaker. Knowing how I feel about kids now if I couldn’t have my own I would adopt. prior to having kids, I don’t think I would have adopted. That’s how powerful the change is.
Don’t get my wrong, it’s not all sunshine, rainbows and unicorn kisses. There’s a lot of mental and physical struggles daily, lack of sleep, decrease alone time. Almost Everything revolves around them. Some people resent that. But those moments when you see them grow and learn, it’s priceless.
Adopted both of my kids. They are my kids, period. It is a very different journey, but one that will forge a bond that cannot be broken. You can ask me anything as well.
Become the best version of yourself and everything will fall into place
100%
If you absolutely, positively don't want kids, then do not ever feel pressured to have any for anyone else. I know I'm going to get a lot of shit, but children have no duty or responsibility to "provide" grandchildren to their parents. It's no something you can do a trial run on for 30 days then bring back if you don't like it.
Do not feel guilty. It would be many orders of magnitude worse to have kids and realize you cannot bond with them. They'll pick up on it and resent you for it.
Well said.
Thank you, it's something too many on our side never think about. I know I would make a terrible parent, that's just one reason I don't want kids.
Louder for the boomer fags in the back!
This system is fucking evil. I don't want to spawn more tax payers cause of "muh civic duty" that sounds more like perpetuating the bullshit.
Population collapse is basically mutually assured destruction. They can't fuck anyone over if there's no one to fuck over.
Well their end goal is for us to die off - whether they do it actively, or just destroy people’s desire to have kids so there is no next generation, doesn’t matter to them. So if you don’t have kids, we also lose.
I used to be someone who was against it, then i had some of my own and realized that I love it so much, and am having such a blast with it - I only wish I had started sooner so we could have more.
Our shit consumer culture brainwashed our generation against kids, and it’s a tragedy. They’ve literally convinced us to abort or not have our own children so we could work corporate jobs to buy throw away crap made in china. And then brag about it on instagram. It’s a crime.
Some people would be terrible parents. Wouldn't that be a good thing for a person to recognize, instead of ruining 3 lives at the very least?
