TIME Magazine Glamorizes Life Without Children

[beakdoctor]

Humans are fucked either way. Pretty sure if you have kids at this point they'll live to see and experience widespread pain and suffering. A plague or nuclear winter.

That seems to be the case. However, you can provide your children with all that it takes to be successful. You can be loving, nurturing, find good schools, find the right mix of parenting and friendship. Ultimately they will become adults and make decisions for themselves but if you raise them right, they don't have to be a part of the suffering.

The problem now is the wrong people are having children with no thought, no means, no responsibility. Instead of children they have fuck trophies. They look at children as a way to get state aid. And thats the reason humans are fucked either way.

Can we read the article online or do we have to buy the magazine.

I had a child when I was 34. I lived quite  a bit before I had a child....and I'm far happier with my daughter in this world than I was before.

I'm not even going to try to explain it. my kid is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I have had a very eventful life. You guys just don't grasp the happiness of watching your kid get onstage for her violin recital, that she has been nervous about for a week, and she nails it.  you live and die with your child.

Im scared to love someone that much

We have three....and I am now immune to feces, vomit, and snoot in all forms, "I have seen things, you know...I've been around you know"...

To be continued.......

As a general rule I don't discuss my family online but....I decided it was time to have children when I had accomplished all that I could within my means. Professional achievments, personal goals, travel etc...In fact, by the time I was ready I had almost become bored with life. When I decided I wanted children, me and my wife came up with a plan. We invested enough money to pay for our future childrens college. Then we moved to a city that we felt would provide enough culture and opportunity that would help shape successful children.

Now that I have children I am can say it is hard work. But nothing else really matters either. I'm glad I got all of those other experiences out of the way because it would be almost impossible to do now, aside from work related achievments. Travel is too difficult, time managment is too difficult, child care is too expensive, schooling (outside of public schooling) is too expensive. Children can really test your value as a person.

For those who don't have children, there are no words though for expressing the rewards of having loving children. So I will not try to explain.

Alot of people say stupid shit like: well my dogs are like my children, or I have pets. Well I'm a dog lover and I have had dogs run away, one got hit by a car and I got over it. If anything ever happened to my children I think I just die from heartache.

You took the words out of my brain.

I bet you went thru yrs of hearing her hit the wrong notes, and playing Hot Cross Buns, to now hearing the vibrato and the notes becoming clearer. Her bowing becoming insynch with the other violinists. You see growth, experience, and accomplishment. And your pride. Something that cannot be explained to those who don't have kids.

Staying child free is one of the best choices someone can make, also for this planet.
The next step should be the worldwide introduction of eugenic principles and a one child policy.

So you need a child to be happy yourself?

Anal sex will never produce children, so don't worry about it.

No..no...but I hope you feel the joy one day when you're ready! I love my monkeys....and don't mind that they shattered the glass on a new 65" plasma throwing shit in the livingroom

RIP plasma TV
I'm not in my twenties anymore, so I'm sure as hell that I don't want them for multiple reasons, not only for the possible damage in my house
I'm happy for anyone who love to have them, but I feel sorry for those who need them to become/stay happy, that's dependent happiness.

I was plenty happy before I had my child.....now I'm happy-er 

I dont recall saying  I was unhappy before , but thanks for making some shit up.

So you need a child to be happy yourself? 

you have to experience both, life without child and life with a child in order to compare.

Funniest one I ever had was I had just gotten a brand spanking new cell phone. was sitting by the pool reading the manual...little munchkin picks it up and throws it in the pool.....didn't even turn the fkng thing on.  you just gotta laugh.

Well, children aren't like clothes, so I can't do that. I've had several exes with children, those were my closest experiences, never again!

I always wanted children. I have a four month old, and plan on having at least one more, if not two more. The fact is, it might be hubris on my part, but I was someone's child, so it's not like I can say its a bad thing to have a child. The only thing, you have to be prepared. Not to toot my own horn, as I'm sure there are a lot of get biggers, as well as a ton of other people, but my wife and I are pretty intelligent people and are reasonably successful. We are the types of folks who need to be having children, not shaquita or billy rae.  The world will be doomed when these idiots out breed us.

Man sometimes your just the stereotypical frazzled dad, thinking "WTF was I thinking...this kid is going to give me a stroke."
