I dont think my dad liked me or my 8 siblings very much. It was just the thing to do for Jesus. So honestly, I think just not wanting kids is a great excuse, cause now I dont like my dad.
Honestly I don’t either, but I am also not above using it as a philosophical cudgel against fascism. If I’m going to get shit for not wanting kids the least I can do is redirect the conversation to politics.
I’ve never really liked “children” in the sense of the age group, but I know a bunch of people who have really great, meaningful relationships between adult children and their parents, so I wanted adult children in my late middle ages and retirement ages.
Now, with my own children, I primarily see them as future adults who I get to watch develop into cool people.
I get about an hour and a half a day of free time, which I should probably be using to clean.
If we had shorter work days it would be far better, though we bid up housing prices using loose monetary policy so that’s not happening. Most people aged to procreate are funding boomers poor retirement planning.
eg, thier medicaire/caid. you would have to be very poor to use medicaid. the most chronic conditions people have on medicare, is DIABETES TYPE 2, AND comorbidities.
while i was at a uni library, i overheard these 2 barely 20 something woman(assumed they were 18-19 by the way they were talking), talking about having kids at 25-30, where you going to have kids if you dont have a career yet, and you are barely an adult right now.
when i was HS, a mother waited too long to change his sons way (future direction) she would often come in during his classes and moniter his classwork for any lowering grade, and would chatised the class “your parents would care this much if they care about his son”, i was thinking, “this bitch, you waited 4years too long to change him, he was dead set on not going to college, when he told us”. shouldve done it before he was in HS, and not waited til he was about to graduate with a low or participation passing gpa(like many people in the hs at the time).(i havnt kept track of him, only saw him once when i was IN CC)
I’m sure the evolved brain chemical soup would make me like my own selfishly, but generally yeah I just don’t like kids. I don’t like interacting with them at all. I didn’t even when I was one, and I’m certainly not a “cool uncle.”
I had to warn my sister before she had her first not to get mad at me for not conforming to some fantasy relationship that might only exist in her head. She’s like that, so it was to get ahead of any hurt feelings. I couldn’t realistically make that happen even if I wanted to.
All these people with great rational reasons… Meanwhile, my wife and I just don’t like children.

Same. I also expected to like all children more after having mine, but I don’t. Even though I adore my kid, I still dislike children.
I love my kid, but the time suck is real.
