I was working in retail during the entire pandemic. In two different states. The amount of people I saw with multiple -1 children [going from 2+ to 3+ over time] was the biggest problem I was having. Although having an internal crisis over other peoples kids isnt productive, im not sorry for finally venting over it four years later.


Economic anxiety is another big part nowandays, this is probably my main reason next to not being able to do what I want when I want.

I think a lot of people these days are extra hesitant to have children, but will regret it later on in life.

Probably.

Parents always say their kids bring them joy, but I see a lot of exhausted, stressed-out people who seem miserable. Are child-free people actually winning at life? I think so.

So far my answer is yes but my gut feeling tells me igo is right

Also i never knew its so difficult for women to get pregnant
Some take even more than half a year
Sounds ridiculous to me
Maybe i shouldve paid attention in sex ed

Agreed.


Does your family make you want to drink 3-5 days a week?
Are your children effected by this?

Always thought I don't want kids and was sure I'm doing great as a childless person.
Doing what I love, earn well, lots of free time, planned on buying a house and enjoy life.

Then I got a kid and couldn't believe how wrong I was.
Now I do everything I did before, with exception of some gaming and I workout 3 instead 5 days a week.
With some time management in a relationship that works, having a kid is no issue.
Life is great and while my gf planned on having 2nd kid the moment she left hospital, I'm also planning on going for a 2nd child next year when our house is fully renovated.
