I'm curious, how did parenthood change you?

[Humble Narcissist]

It made me more self centered spending all my time building businesses, working out, chasing women and NOT going to a job.  That's what NOT having any kids did for me.

I think it’s the best contribution I have made. No amount of business success can feel as good as having raised good, happy, successful children. Obviously it’s not for everyone - SF doesn’t want them and that’s fine. It’s much better to be like him than being a total deadbeat like Eric having kids and being an absent bum.

It actually gave my life a purpose, I never wanted kids and only really cared about getting pissed every weekend with my mates, knocked up the wench and even after my son was born the whole thing took a lot of getting used to, there was no instant bond there was nothing magical about seeing him born like some people say, truth is for a bit I saw this annoying little noisy fucker who stopped me having fun in life and I dreamed of being free but stuck it out as it’s the right thing to do.

This lasted maybe a few months before something clicked and developed an immensely powerful love for the little creature especially as he grew to a toddler, when my daughter came along the love was instant and adored her, now they are 12 and 10 and I’ve realised how empty my life was beforehand, I think about them and miss them at work, seeing them happy has become the greatest pleasure in my life, family days out with them seem magical in my memories. I could never ever love anything even 1/100th of what I feel for them, I find it almost impossible to spend money on myself beyond what is a necessity as I’d feel terribly guilty that I could have spent that money on them, and now my goal in life is to set them up well in life by leaving them a decent inheritance. Hated the idea of kids but now would never be without them

Lol at the “little creature!”

Meant Vince Basil no longer had to drive to the playground to find children to stare at while wacking off.

Awesome  post Henda!

I had to change my name, phone number, and place of residence.

It hasn't. Same person, same life, with or without kids.

I agree with the last part a ton, but I don't have kids.  Honestly, I love old people, but the fact that when I walk my dog around the senior living complex across the parking lot and they spend an hour talking, and then thank me endlessly for stopping by; while at the same time I see all the happiness leave their body as me and my dog walk away...just tells me that life past 75 is pretty mutha fuckin pointless.  

When I can't control my bowels, move freely, drive, care for myself, or hit 75.....some combination or whichever comes first.....I'm outta this bitch.

My son was born when I was 38 years old..
Really enjoyed the single life before that..
even though I got divorced at the beginning of this year.. My son is the best thing to ever happened to me..
If I had to do it all over again.. I would ..
It's been a blessing for me .. He just about to turn 8 .. Looking forward to seeing him grow up..

Do any of you stop to think....

That you've done a bad thing bringing a kid into this world?


It's limited to being a globalist slave,an unhappy person.



For males,it will be even worse.

yeah you hate to sound like a pussy not having kids, but 1) there's enough people in the world and 2) fuck it anyway how is life going to be better going forward than it was in the past.  "the signs are not promising"

So what are you doing to make the world a better place?

Also how have you managed to survive through such a difficult life?

Put my four kids in private school. Cost a fortune while I drove a crap car. Could have driven a nice Mercedes for the monthly price of the school. I don't regret any of it. They were great kids and  great adults. A Doctor, Intensive care nurse, Airborne soldier, and one that does something with computers no one can figure out how he makes money. With my grand daughter right now.

If you don't want to be a parent don't have children. Children need parents who wanted them.

Agreed.

Sage wisdom here folks.

Only plan to have kids if you want to have kids.
