A big day for equality. Hopefully this will lead to more men feeling comfortable enough to share their stories of abuse.
And further down the line, hopefully this will be the first step towards the removal of this carefully constructed narrative by feminist groups that domestic abuse is a gendered issue.

All the time. Honesty though what I typically think about is how much college will cost them in 18-20 years, plus private school if they do that, plus all the other expenses - cars clothes, weddings (which then turn to divorce). And I’m like - nope nuh uh no chance.
I know thats very cynical, but hey, we’re in the confessions bowl baby!
Just to touch on the college part: I will be paying today's cost in 18 years. The 529 plan I'm contributing to allows you to lock in today's going credit rate for all schools in the state.

Huge double standard. You tell the family you’re having a baby, and they’re excited. You tell the family you’ve been letting a guy cum inside you for a few weeks and you suddenly ruin Easter brunch.

Start telling them you are working on having a baby :-)

Not baby announcements, but gender reveals YES.

As I recall, most of my friends didn't want to know - or disclose - the sex of their babies before they were born. They wanted to be surprised. And that was pretty common back then (just 10-15 years ago) - lots of yellow and mint green at baby showers, which I kindof miss because as soon as you know it's a girl it's pink everything! So does no one want to be surprised anymore?
All the time. I can’t imagine how anyone my age can afford to have kids. or why you’d want to have kids before you’ve traveled or even moved out of your parents house lol.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but I’m still like WTF when I see the girl who got hammered and broke TWO of my tables in one night at a party is having her second kid only two years after her iconic drunken collapses.
TL1: no disputing kids are expensive, but it's a bit unfair to put you living in a six bedroom house on the kids. I'm assuming each kid has their own room, and that's your choice. You could definitely live in a four bedroom house and have kids share bedrooms.

I mean - we’re talking millions of dollars here. I don’t have that $$. I grew up with the poors. Having kids is becoming some real rich people shit.
Chief
Birth control is expensive though. You would think poor people would be busting out kids left and right
Chief
I want so many babies 👶 and hopefully my future husband feels the same or we can compromise
Chief
Yes 😣
Yeah, one or two kids is fine. Any more than that and I wonder what is wrong with them. I think it’s so irresponsible to have that many children.

TM1, part of the human existence is growing up on Zoom. Family is so 2018.
Family is wealth. If you think that worthless Fiat dollar you're stacking in that bank is going to make you happy or do anything for you when you're old have fun writing a Ski-Doo like a special boy

Family is wealth? That’s what rich people say. To some people, family is horribly dysfunctional and abusive. To some people, detaching from family is the only way to find true happiness. Humans 1 you sound like the most privileged poster here.

Do you mean one person having another. I know some people who have 5+ kids and always complain about money, have phones shut off, need loans... i would be lying if i said i didn’t have that thought with them.
Enthusiast
No, I just think that I want one too

Not privileged immigrant and I love my family and agree with Humana 1 that family is wealth.
