I prefer dogs but Iām glad youāre enjoying your family.
Truly bizarre to compare dogs to children.
People consider pets to be equivalent to kids when they don't want to deal with real responsibilities. They have no idea what they're missing out on.
Or they just love animals?
I think itās no more or less bizarre than the premise of this original note.
We are all unique and all have our own individual paths.
I am genuinely happy for anyone that loves their family and I love to see people have kids that want them. My best friend is a great father of two kids and Iām proud of him.
It's arrogant AF to insist that one's own way is the only way, and that everyone should conform to that way. People are different. What's best for you isn't automatically best for everyone else. This sort of narrow-minded, absolutist thinking is at the heart of every totalitarian nightmare.
I thought this too until I got married and had a kid
Having kids didn't make me believe that my way was the only way, or that those who made different choices were somehow wrong.
I probably would have written something like this when I was younger. Look back in 30-40 years and see if you still feel this way. Allow for the possibility that what is meaningful to you may evolve as you age. I think this post was meant to be cautionary, not prescriptive.
Very odd to me that you would get triggered about someone saying āGet married and have childrenā the most normal thing in human history.
I don't care about the substance of your position. I've got kids of my own. It's the notion that your way is the only way, and that those who go a different route are somehow wrong or unfulfilled. It's an arrogant, narrow-minded notion.
So triggered over nothing.
Whatever. In all your underhanded pettiness, you haven't addressed anything I've said. Responding with a different opinion isn't being triggered. But saying that is a convenient way deflect and tarnish the messenger. Classy.
I donāt feel I need to address you accusing me of things I didnāt say.
I am curious what the rest of the comments were from nostr:npub1vkgj57k30l2u7wave6t4nua75wjylx3nju6qu4vu7pneghwx8zlsf7q4uq but they arenāt showing for me.
Pretty normal thing indeed.
What happened to "don't trust, verify", and when didn't it become shameful to do the work? š
Experienced this myself, was lucky to have one kid before it was too late. Wish we had had three or four, and I would have had I known then what I know now.
The only people whose wealth I envy are those with big families. Thatās real wealth.
It's the best thing ever.
