Re:The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids by jemmyw on Monday February 05, 2024 @06:00AM (#39259769)
It's a different experience for different people. Why wouldn't parent's comment if they enjoy having kids? It's no different than the people who jumped in to state the reasons why they wouldn't have kids, why do they do it? Why did you feel the need to put your comment in, maybe answer that too? I think it's weird how someone always jumps in to comment on how weird it is that some people jump in to comment.

I've got 3 kids. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Or not recommend it. How the fuck should I know what you want to do or how it'll turn out? I'm glad I had mine and I'm glad we started at 25 instead of 35. Regrets? Some, but if you've none I may not believe you. You can regret things even if you also wouldn't want them to turn out differently.

That's the point: these aren't equal opposites.

The answer to "should I have children?" is "you have to decide that for yourself but be aware of what it is you're deciding".
