Oh shit the picture they used for your question...

Do you think there's more pros or cons in having kids?

Hair line that is equal to yours and those man hands... ugly kid. Nuff said.

Did I give you a downside yet or do you need more?

Jokes aside...

As a man there is more downsides unless you're super slick like a lubed-up dick or smooth like Exlax and know how to work the system. What do you stand to gain?

Let me ask that again for the retards... as a man, what are you going to gain? She will still cheat whenever she wants, except now she will take half your shit, your kids you made with her and demand child support and alimony... unless you were smart, stayed at home while you made her work all the time while you played with the kids all day.

Sorry to say, but most of you stupid men are not as smart as me and you worked all day, most days of the week, so she had time to fuck me and suck my dick dry of coom. I played with my kids, saw what my Mom did to my Dad and it's nothing but Drizzle Drizzle for me baby, I'm not getting a job... bitch, go to work! Cheat if you want and I'm going to take half of everything and my kids and make you pay for it. I got video games to play and other important shit to do like shave my balls for other women.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. It's the government that made it like this. I just transgendered the rules that were set up to make women the winners all the fucking time. Take notes if you're a dude and you got suckered into that mess... and are paying for it even if you stay with her or not. Not my problem suckers.

The decision to have kids comes with both pros and cons, and the balance often depends on personal values and circumstances.

**Pros include**:
- Unconditional love and joy from children.
- Personal growth and fulfillment through parenting.
- The opportunity to shape future generations and instill values.

**Cons include**:
- Significant financial costs and time commitment.
- Potential stress and exhaustion from parenting responsibilities.
- Impact on personal freedom and lifestyle.

Ultimately, many find the joys of parenting outweigh the challenges, while others may prioritize personal goals and freedom, leading to differing views on whether there are more pros or cons.

My brother has kids. I remember him before kids. He was living his best life with my sister in law. They traveled around the world which made me so intensely jealous because they were so happy, but then they had kids and the s--t hit the fan. One has severe behavioral issues and the other has really bad health issues. Between managing the two, they seem to have aged well beyond their years. My brother always sounds exhausted or angry or overwhelmed. I've babysat before, and I definitely understand what he's going through even from my limited experiences and how hard it has been to just keep it together mentally. I hate seeing him like this, always seeming to be stressed, but it's a risk you take I guess when you have kids which can be strong con. I don't doubt they have love for their kids, that is more than evident, but I wonder how they would truly answer if no one was around, if they would wish for life before the kids again.

I've heard so many back and forths about this from friends with kids. But in the end, the pro's always outweigh the cons. Like yes, maybe 80-90% of the time it can be frustrating and exhausting, but the other 10% of the time is when pure magic happens. I think when one becomes a parent, even through there may be "cons" to some people, those cons are part of what it means to be a parent.

ManInChains · Answer

Since I am a man I believe there are more cons to having children. One of those cons being child support. The second being how Men are completely disposable and worthless when they become fathers. Their primary purpose in life after having kids is being used as a wallet by the woman and to die for the family. Society makes it seem like an honorable and worthy cause for men when in actuality, it’s just a very sad existence when the only ones who matter in society are the woman and children. The man doesn’t matter. Especially now when women work and make their own money yet men still have to pay the woman child support AND be the ones to sacrifice their own lives. It’s not worth it.

As a relatively young person, I would say more cons. My opinion might change when I'm old and grey. Children are an investment. And a risky one, at that. At first, it's all cons. You have put in so much time and effort. Not to mention they're a complete drain on your bank account. You lose sleep, lose a lot of your social life, grow distant from old friends, have to give up on some dreams. All sacrificed to your child. You do this for the hope that they'll take care of you toward the end of your life, like you took care of them in the beginning of theirs. But there's no guarantee of that.

Even though I had a good childhood, probably more cons. I wouldn’t want to raise me knowing how many resources I consumed and only a few bad experiences combined with a few genetic problems compounded out of control and ended up (in my opinion) outweighing all the good things that happened to me. I’d say it’s very luck-based and as we all know lucky odds are lower than unlucky odds. I even wish I wasn’t born (it makes me cry to say) and I am not going to have kids so that they don’t suffer life. I’ll probably die alone and miserable and slowly from falling and not being able to get back up, but I’d rather do that than make someone suffer life. If you disagree with me (and are old) good for you, I wish I viewed life like you do, like it’s worth it. Even if by some miracle I can turn things around and get rich and even happy, I still won’t want to put my kid to go through what I went through.

It depends on how they turn out. My kids all graduated from college and have good jobs and are living on their own. There were a couple of guys who were good parents and were involved with their kids school and activities but their kids turned out bad anyway.

am_jyma · Answer

Having children is a major life decision that comes with both positive and challenging aspects. Here are some pros and cons to consider:

Pros: Emotional fulfillment, legacy, joy, growth, family bonds, purpose.

Cons: Cost, time, strain, career impact, loss of freedom.

Note: Every family and individual experience will differ, so these factors weight differently depending on personal circumstances.

Staximus · Answer

I think that really depends on if somebody is fit to be a good parent. Can they put the child's needs before their own needs and especially their own wants? It's a huge responsibility, commitment, and change in lifestyle. Some people can't handle that or adjust and are not fit to be parents. No more going out and doing stupid shit on Saturday night, you have to stay home and take care of the kids.

Shamalien · Answer

Imagine growing old, and since u and ur siblings had no kids, you have no able bodied family left.

sounds like a pretty bleak future to look forward to. people who had kids can be surrounded by loving family and taken care of if they play their cards right

Anonymous · Answer

all the cons are all rooted in selfishness "oh  my  career", "oh  my  finances", "oh  my  freedom" just me, me, me

BCRanger10 · Answer

Definitely more pros than cons. It's been challenging for sure, but it's also been very rewarding. More people should get married and have lots of kids!

Sunnysunny123 · Answer

Depends on the person, not everyone wants their lives to revolve around kids, also not everyone deserves to have kids so every answer is okay and normal.

Sour-rose · Answer

Pro: May spark a new fire between you and your partner. Con: If they die, you're broken. If they don't die, you're not broken... but will be tired af. So tired that you MIGHT go numb.

paledreams · Answer

Cons, I'm glad others can populate the earth so I don't have to :) and I equally pay my way and earn a living and contribute to society working daily 9 to 5

DrPepper12 · Answer

Too many variables. How many kids? When had them? Choice of spouse? Ages & stages? Resources? Stability? Extended family dynamics.

Since the job is never done it's even harder to assess a moving target.

Depends on the person. A pro for me could be a con for someone else, & vice versa

Nirmroth · Answer

More cons than pros tho wouldn't stop me from having kids eventually in some years.

AviatorTom · Answer

More pros. Having kids is the most rewarding thing in my life.

Tomisworthless · Answer

Not having kids is rather selfish and goes against the purpose of you existing. Kids teach one to care less about themselves and more about the well being of others

Most people abandon you once you have kids. Or for me at least. It’s just me and kiddo and I work very hard and pay for everything without any help
