Why is it so hard for people with kids to understand that not everyone wants kids?

because we do understand when we've been on both sides before

people without kids have never been on the side with kids while people with kids have been on the side without kids before

the difference in mindset, personality, purpose and leadership qualities is so much different when you have someone you are obligated to take care of

if someone don't want kids/doesn't have kids, that's fine. they should be prepared for some unintended consequences such as getting overlooked for a job promotion

[chocolatetwopointo]

why would anyone without kids be overlooked for a job promotion?

[Opinion Owner]

because having kids is a huge responsibility which you can't just quit and leadership in general comes with more responsibilities. having kids very much insists on you to do better in life

[chocolatetwopointo]

yeah sure but that doesn't really answer my question? people who dont have kids also has loads of responsebilities

[Opinion Owner]

yes but not in the same way people with kids do. there's a mandatory duty that parents have to their kids that non-parents don't have. slacking off in a job and not caring about getting fired doesn't cut it anymore when you have mouths to feed

[chocolatetwopointo]

people without kids can have pets and have to feed themselves, maybe even a partner?

[Opinion Owner]

no one is obligated to feed a partner even though it's a nice gesture

pets do tend to rely on their owners at first but they can feed themselves if the owner fails to do so

feeding oneself is a given but not something people would prioritize over feeding their own kids

[chocolatetwopointo]

okay, well if they can't afford food for everyone then they shouldn't have had any kids?

[Opinion Owner]

they can afford which is why they get promoted and get higher pay as a result

[chocolatetwopointo]

do u realise what u js said? it makes no sense

[Opinion Owner]

why don't you ask your parents how they were able to feed you if what I said doesn't make sense?

[chocolatetwopointo]

bc they had kids when they had stable jobs💀

[Opinion Owner]

good for them. now ask them why they wanted to have you

[chocolatetwopointo]

bc having kids made them happy

[Opinion Owner]

well there you have it. problem solved

[chocolatetwopointo]

what was the problem?💀

[Opinion Owner]

do tell what your problem is

[chocolatetwopointo]

you’re the one saying ”problem sovled” what problem did we solve? i dont understand what ur problem was?

[Opinion Owner]

the problem is coming from you. not me

[chocolatetwopointo]

then explain what the problem was? i never said we had a problem

[Opinion Owner]

the problem is in your question

[chocolatetwopointo]

it isn't tho?💀

[AviatorTom]

More important is that not everyone should be a parent.

I most certainly don't find it hard in the slightest... After all it's everyone's prerogative what they choose to do in life... Live and Let Live.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Because for a lot of people, they see having children as a necessary part of living and can’t understand how it’s a choice.

[happyfoetus]

Coz if they think otherwise, they wouldn't have one. Also some people are addicted to responsibilities.

[Giannishorny]

Children are happiness. Having children is why you come to life. When you are old have you ever thought about who will be the one who will take care of you?

[chocolatetwopointo]

why would i need to b taken care of? if i keep healthy i won't need anyone

[chocolatetwopointo]

and if thats the reason ur having kids ur selfish asf, personally im prob gna kms at 40 so i won't need anyone to take care of me lmao

[RedInnocent69]

I suppose not everyone who has kids thought they wanted them at first and now they’re on a mission

[NathanDavis]

it is not

[andy530]

I don’t think it is
