No no, you see, the DINKs got it all figured out.
- Work hard in your 20s and 30s
- Get a house
- Build a nest egg
- Get your shit together
- Have an amazing sex life while you’ve still got ample supply of your gender’s hormones, and total privacy.
- Then in the late 30s, pick up a pre-owned child that some other parents couldn’t afford anymore.
If you’re okay with one that’s a couple years old, you can skip all the pregnancy, child birth, infancy, bed training, sleep regressions, the toilet training, etc, and at least get one that’s already partially verbal (and fully mobile).
Yeah, you don’t get a warranty, but really neither did the original owner.
Biggest downside is that you wind up dealing with trauma/neglect/abuse that may have impacted them. You don’t always get full service history or maintenance records, and they may not even show any signs of a problem for several years.
But that can happen to anyone.
Lemon laws when
That’s not dink though. Why would you fuck it up by adopting?
Stay childfree for life!
It’s the best of both worlds…DINKing through early career, getting set up, and getting a kid once established and settled in a career. Bonus points for not having to deal with all the baby stuff and still getting the most fun years (I’d say like 2.5 through puberty), and not pausing career development for establishing a family (which especially handicaps mothers)
Our bodies rush us into wanting to have kids young. But our society is making that increasingly difficult.
Say what you will about kids, I can understand an individual not wanting a kid. That’s a personal choice.
But the recent trend in rapidly declining birthrates? That’s a societal level issue.
Reproducing is literally the purpose of life. That’s all. You gotta be fucking up the balance real bad to turn that off for a significant chunk of the population.
*lose
Ok but it’s stupid that it’s pronounced loose and written lose
“Loose” is pronounced “loose” and written “loose”.
“Lose” is pronounced “lose” and written “lose”.
You’re welcome for this lesson in the very efficient English language.
It’s not? Loose rhymes with goose, lose rhymes with snooze.
Fuck English, fuck it it with a syphilitic cactus.
These bs errors, if we consistently write them wrong those English nerds will be forced to change the rules.
We literally did that before.
solution, get your boyfriend preggers
Same problem.
You can eat the baby while it’s small, so at least you can get a succulent meal
Also the placenta. Lots of nutrients in here. Got a cook it really good though, it’s essentially a parasite that another parasite eats. Like the middle guy in a dog pile. You don’t want to eat him until after he’s at least had a good wash. Unless that’s your thing, in which case, go for it.
No it has acid blood did you never see those movies they’re classics you should watch them
There is no child/food you cant salt enough to make it tasty. Spices are key to the modern cannibalistic lifestyle.
Like you can see in this illustration professionals dip the limbs in ketchup:

Its not cannibalism I think one of the Marines in the sequel dies from getting sprayed with acid blood after shooting one that’s barbecue sauce not ketchup
Found the bunny
Net-negative nutrient gain. You can’t just eat your own products for a net-gain.
Unless you are CASIMIR allegedly.
This pic looks like was taken at a nice apartment complex in lower Manhattan. can’t recall the name
I mean, that feels like a shot in the dark. Like it’s entirely possible that it’s that NYC building but based on the available info, it could also be a large number of buildings in Europe, and I’m sure elsewhere. What was the tipoff, just the red brick? Because that is extremely common in my country.
LOL. It was just a feeling at first, but I did a search.
I recalled the name of the appartment complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuyvesant_Town–Peter_Cooper_Village
There is a https://www.caffepanna.com/ nearby with the same cup design.
So, possible. I can’t think of any other places in lower Manhattan that look that way.
Okay but getting pregnant is a pretty good movie I like the space cat
Getting pregnant is a fun movie, the sequels though “Being pregnant” “completing pregnancy” are straight up Cronenberg horror movies.
I don’t remember space cat in any of those so they’re worse movies or in forgetting I should re watch anyway wait no space cat is in the second movie I think but is just normal cat she doesn’t take them to space
i used to sort of feel these ways. now im older and im just afraid of aging extremely lonely. best luck lol
As someone with 2 kids and a wife I wish I was alone… because as it looks right now I won’t even make it to my retirement with how crazy everyone is. It’s just to much.
holy brother … i guess if i post a dark comment, i should expect one in return, but godamn. hoping the best for you and ofc figure i should encourage you talking about it with someone. all the best
This would also be top horror(s) for me… and I can’t even get pregante.
All praise to those that sacrificed themselves to enable another to live.
But that won’t be us.

But if you’re worried about less money, less personal time, career progress harm, and less hobbying, you aren’t nearly ready to be a parent.
You made it sound like that’d be some ultimate goal. To be ready to be a parent. Meh.
I value my time too much to waste it on another being. I love my hobbies and wifey and that’s enough. Computers alone take many hours a day, why would i want to abandon all sparetime to shovel poop, wish piss, buy food, make food, stay up all night, etc etc. Yikes!
And we swim in money, don’t work, and have more than we would ever spend(probably). Yet I’d say we’re too poor to have a kid. The world goes down the drain, why would i want my kids have to witness that? I’m an asshole, but no monster.
Having kids is most of the time just incredibly selfish. To not be alone, to have a “reason to exit”, to be needed, to been taken care of when old, etc.
So many words, so much hate, you’re proving OP’s thesis.
You’re right you weren’t ready to be a parent, you think you are the poor baby.
At least the stepdad chose to walk into parenthood, I hope he gives the kid joy and love.
Yeah, you’re all a perfect example of why most people shouldn’t have kids.
Have you seen the economy? fuck have you seen society?
Many mothers are basically stuck in solitary confinement. Barely able to pay bills as is.
Of course its a man typing this shit out.
