3 Stacks is the GOAT don’t @ me.
It’s a great question to ask your parents.
👏👏
Because raising your offspring with a person you love (or solo) is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in this lifetime?
My 2nd job (kids) is the one I actually love. I hate my first job (accounting) but it pays the bills for the second job. You’ve got it all backwards.
Maybe when you have kids you can comment more on people that have kids?
I’m convinced that people have kids just so that say “My kid has (fill in the blank) tonight, I have to leave early.” And then they leave before everyone else, at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Another crowd favorite? “My kid has a doctor appt. and I’ll be late tomorrow.” This happens about every two weeks because apparently every child is in need of biweekly visits to the pediatrician for the first 18 years of life.
It’s a fun game for us kid-less people to sit back and watch :)

Because people have very little else they feel they can contribute to this planet themselves so they decide “maybe I’ll make another human that will”
Kicking the can down the road 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t and won’t have kids in the future. My wife and I both agree with this.
Not*
Because they are worth it! Kids are so cute and sweet 💕
Kids are terrors. I have them. Of course people love their kids but not so sure I’d do it again knowing what I know now.
Also have you ever visited a nursing home? Saddest thing all those old people with no one left in the world
Yes, it is very sad. Lesson is to take care of yourself and be your own health advocate. No one else can do it properly. Don’t want to end up in a nursing home and if there is such misfortune, want it to be as short as possible!! Just let me die if it comes to that!
OP, trust me I know how you feel. But I think a part of it is who you’ll end up having kids with (if not alone). I personally don’t want kids not have I ever wanted them. I don’t hate kids and my mother is an angel but it’s just never been a dream of mine. However, my husband is such an amazing person and is so good with kids and any child would truly be lucky to call him dad. How could I not give him that? We’ve decided to wait another five years or so because he’s not ready right now either, but the thought of raising an amazing kid came from getting to know and loving him.
Not everyone is meant to have kids. If you feel this way now, you know the answer
This why when you’all are ready to retire social security will be broke
I had a sister that said she would never have kids. Now she has two sons and loves it. If you really don't want to have kids that is fine.
I think it is important to realize there is a window of opportunity. Some people put off, or don't have, kids because they want to focus on their career. Then later they may change their mind but it can be too late at that point. Then adoption can be an option. Just food for thought.
Our culture forces that story on us constantly. Which is women don’t their own bodily agency to get sterilized unless either a) they have already had children or b) they have their husbands permission. Your story is not unique, it is the narrative. The important thing to realize is that some people never have children and live happily ever after.
Also because at some point adults become too vapid to be friends with and your kids will have to hang out with your for 18 (or 14ish) years at least and you can watch them learn and grow.
