Why You Should Not Have A Baby

There are a number of reasons why having a baby is a BAD idea.

Why You Should Not Have A Baby

1. Conception

Conception is only limited to heterosexual, fertile adults of reproductive age (mostly the 20s and 30s). The likelihood of conceiving a child decreases as you age, so if you think that you can waste away your 20s/30s and then have a child in your 40s, then, well, you've just passed your reproductive prime. If you are desperate for a child at this point in your life, then you should definitely adopt, use reproductive assisting technologies, or use a surrogate. As you can see, our time on Earth is limited. If you plan on having children in your life, then you should marry and have kids in your 20s or 30s, not consider settling down in your 40s or 50s.

For those young people who "accidentally" have a child during their teens and twenties due to a misused condom, let's just say that their lives are fucked up at this point, because of too much irresponsible fucking going on in their lives.

2. Pregnancy

If conception is successful, then you should congratulate yourself, because not everyone can conceive. Then, you have to carry the child in the womb for 9 months. During that time, you may have to watch your diet and behavior, because what you eat, what you do, how you feel can all potentially affect the child's health. It may be useful to start doing these things before pregnancy, because you may not know that you're pregnant until you are showing obvious signs of pregnancy and because mistakes can have serious, long-term effects. If you don't want the pressure of having to create the ideal conditions, then pregnancy is not for you.

3. Labor

After the 9-month period, the baby has to come out. During labor, complications may arise. The baby's head may be so big that a Caesarean section is needed to yank the baby out of the womb. A Caesarean section leaves an ugly scar on your abdomen, a permanent sign that you are no longer the young girl you used to be. Congratulations, you are now a mother, and you are expected to act like one . . . for 2 decades or more.

4. Raising a Child from Infancy

Babies may be cute and all that, but behind that cute and adorable face is an obnoxious crying machine. It will cry in the middle of the night, depriving you of your sleep. It will cry for food, for a diaper change, for a cuddle, for apparently no reason at all. You have to spend a lot of time in raising a child, because a child grows relatively slowly. In fact, in five years, the child may not even be sexually mature, while a dog becomes sexually mature in less than a year.

As you can see, investing in a dog is more worthwhile than a human. In less than a year, the dog will be sexually mature and ready to be spayed/neutered. A dog is extremely sensitive to human behaviors, while a child, especially an autistic child, is not. A dog can be trained to never steal your food - and for good reason too! Some human foods are toxic to dogs! Little humans, on the other hand, can be disrespectful, disobedient, and rebellious. To prevent these little horrors from entering your life, do your best to take care of the environment and not have any children!

  • This is satirical right?
    Or just a bunch of biased statements that have very little to do with actually raising children.

    I'll re-write it for you:
    Reasons you shouldn't have a baby

    1. Children take an infinite amount of patience and money. If you don't have either of these don't have a baby
    2. Children emit a large range of bodily fluids. If you aren't ok with drinking your morning coffee with a tinge of spittle don't have a baby
    3. Children will inevitably embarrass you at the worst moments. If you're not ok with them announcing your toilet activities in the supermarket don't have a baby
    4. If you don't want a baby get a dog. Dogs are cool

    • I think eventually there would probably be robots that look and sound like real kids, but much easier to maintain and without the problems that you mentioned regarding bodily fluids, requiring patience or even much money. Ok, maybe they might be pricey at first, but who knows, eventually they could be for every household that want an artificial kid?

    • @JudgmentDay lol and the human race would die out in 80 years?

    • @Wonderer89 By then I think humans would become human machine hybrids, "cybernetic organisms" and then sexual reproduction would no longer be relevant or mandatory anymore to ensure the survival of our culture and species.

  • And we are also vastly overpopulated! Not everyone is able to live healthy, having shelter, warmth, a job, insurance, education, security, sufficient resources etc...

  • Practical points because they're all true and inevitable. But if this is a persuasive text, then I think it won't be that effective for some people have made their decisions to have babies and start their families.

    Having a baby doesn't have to necessarily start from conception, as you can adopt.

  • Imma have a baby and I don't cure what you say to meeee.

  • Wait for the development and advancement of Artificial Intelligence, then eventually you can probably just have a very lifelike and advanced robot that looks, sounds, and feels like a real human kid.

  • ok protect environment and end the human race

    • unless humans can be converted into efficient cyborgs or something through nanotechnology, efficient enough so we won't cause any further damage to our environment from over consumption of resources.

    • @JudgmentDay lol doesn't have to do with nanotech but ok
