Did you know it’s selfish to want a wife and kids?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

To say “I want a wife and kids” completely ignores the ideas and responsibilities behind being a husband and father. So many people will treat that position as if having a wife and children are objects to be possessed, not living people you want in your life. They will also not create the foundation in their own life needed to be a good husband and father (aka the traits of being a good man) and then when they have what they want it quickly falls apart and crumbles away and those same individuals will try to frantically rebuild their life on that same, shoddy foundation. If you are a good man, you will be a good husband and a good father too. You have to pursue those traits not for the sake of being a husband and father but for the sake of being that man worthy of those privileges and responsibilities.

Also, apologies for the clickbait-sounding question. Just figured it would get your attention lol

Do you want a husband and kids?

If a man wants to settle down, it's usually the sign that he IS ready for responsibility, as opposed to being a bachelor forever.

You would think, but I’m sure you can think of a few men who were bad fathers and husbands despite believing they were ready for it

Orrrr, us men know exactly what a wife and kids means and we want the challenge, love/respect and a home full of laughter.

It’s more to do with the language and how it reflects your perspective

So it's not selfish for my wife to think the same way? She wanted a husband and kids.

It would be nice if I have a wife and children's but unfortunately I can't with my circumstances. Some days i do daydream about having a potential partner and having somebody to talk with then always being alone all day

@scott04sa22 im so sorry :[ . i have a lot of mental problems and i feel like that would stop a woman from liking me. just know you aren't alone

This is a pretty simple and reductive reasoning wrought by the way you incorrectly perceive how men think.

Also known as a shit take.
