MagnusX 01/31/21 4:59:49 PM #13:	We have been engaged for a bunch of years and haven't gotten married because we keep travelling every summer. We also own two vehicles and make more than the median household income for our province. Our only debt is 2/3 of a mortgage. We could definitely afford kids, but the things we do to enjoy life couldn't. I don't care about family lines or having offspring carry my DNA. I want to enjoy our very brief time on this planet to the maximum and devoting everything to kids is almost the polar opposite of a fulfilling life to me. <cite>MagnusX posted [p:950128419] in Its crazy ...

KaZooo 01/31/21 5:02:04 PM #17:	Perhaps it's not so much about the kids/spouse, but the world around them. The means to afford a family, steer them right, that's one thing. Go 20 years or so down the line hoping they find living worthwhile, another thing. Explaining the crudeness of society and why some things that should be, aren't. Of course, I can understand that if you (accidentally?) got the ball rolling, now you're in for the ride. --- Competing every night, both ends, shoot inside/outside, fast break, transition, Monta Ellis have it all <cite>KaZooo posted [p:950128499] in Its crazy ...

furb 01/31/21 5:17:58 PM #22:	I'm 36, work full time, and I have a graduate degree. I have a nice size amount of money saved and I could buy a house if I wanted to do so. I am extremely skittish about having children. The moral burden of raising them correctly while also needing to rearrange my life to give them the proper care makes me uncomfortable. I had a happy up bringing, but I feel like it take a lot of work to keep my own life in order. It worries me I could not be reliable as a parent. In short, it's likely a fear of commitment I pave over with a veneer of valuing my freedom. I ended things with a woman I likely was in love with enough to marry her over this issue during my early 30s. But I seriously value my freedom too. *** Too many people seem to rush into it thinking it will fill a void in their lives. Not sure if that's the best reason to do it. I also think some folks must have a much stronger biological urge to have kids now than I do or something. I figure that urge paves over a lot of the debates about loss of freedom and commitment. Lots of my friends that have kids and good jobs never enjoyed the fun of having money and no kids. It's like the meme comic adventures of captain no-kids. It's somewhat accurate. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane <cite>furb posted [p:950129000] in Its crazy ...

MajesticFerret 01/31/21 5:30:44 PM #28:	What confuses me is all these guys who are ok with marriage but don't want to have kids...why? The ONLY upside to marriage is it makes it harder to break up and forces couples to fix their shit which is better for raising kids. Outside of that, marriage is objectively useless. You can be in a long term relationship for years without having to buy an overpriced wedding ring, pay for an overpriced wedding, and sign a government contract where you split your shit and potentially have to pay alimony if you break up. And this is coming from a happily married man. I only did it because this is the woman I want to bare kids with and the government practically treats you as married if you live together and are raising a kid anyways. --- Sanity is a one trick pony, all you get with it is rational thought, but with crazy the sky's the limit. <cite>MajesticFerret posted [p:950129382] in Its crazy ...

I've never understood this. To me it's like having some kind of parental part of your brain awaken to brainwash you into enjoying that for lack of a better word.

I do not mind at all. I'd take joy in it because once they go back to their parents house, it's not my problem anymore. Lol it's not being brainwashed. You're that kids everything and they are your everything. Your life is just fundamentally different. It's an unconditional love that is different from all else. Them being happy makes you happy. Helping them grow and succeed gives a totally new purpose to your life. It's fine that you would rather do your own thing. Some people can't even stand the thought of being in a committed relationship. But not everyone is wired like that. I don't think my life would feel anywhere near as satisfying if I only lived for myself and did what I wanted to do. The highlights of my life happened when I got out of my comfort zone and did things with and for other people. But that's me. I both can't wait for my kid to grow up so I can do even more stuff with them but I also love her as she is now because she's so damn sweet and adorable. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:950130082] in Its crazy ... [t:79270353]...</cite> <quote>AzurexNightmare posted... </cite> <quote>I've never understood this. To me it's like having some kind of parental part of your brain awaken to brainwash you into enjoying that for lack of a better word. The reason I say that is because I know right now I don't want to play with some young kid. I'd rather do my hobbies by myself or with my girl. But all of a sudden, once I have a kid, that changes and I prefer to play with the kid? Don't get me wrong, props to you for being a good dad, but fuck that... Yeah I know it's different because it's not a random kid. It's your kid. But that's kinda the point I'm making. It's still a kid. I'd rather just do my own thing. Without all that investment. Having that kid take away all my favorite things to do in life just for their own existence.. I'm good. Now being an uncle where I can take the kids for a ride and maybe have them for a weekend tops? I do not mind at all. I'd take joy in it because once they go back to their parents house, it's not my problem anymore.</quote> Lol it's not being brainwashed.

Vicious_Dios 01/31/21 6:37:13 PM #40:	MaddenDude-- posted... I feel like so few people on CE want to get married, have kids, and buy a house. Is it purely because of the financial burden? Because being married lightens that load. Well, what do you expect? They can't even take care of themselves, much less a kid or a partner who also has their needs... There're merely born to be dependents to their parents way into their 20's. What are they doing to pull their weight? They're too busy jacking off to anime cartoons, feet, horses, dogs, dolphins, and even fucking feet. ... And that's the first cap. Beneath that shit cake you have your users who pride themselves in being complete wastes of space by simply existing only to get hammered, and high, all while bitching about it by complaining to others about 'muh depression'. They're entitled children without the maturity to be self-sufficient and want Bernie to give them unearned money to pay off their Liberal Arts degrees. --- S / K / Y / N / E Twitch/YouTube/GT: *Adzeta* <cite>Vicious_Dios posted [p:950131574] in Its crazy ...
