Of course, right? Childfree people never do anything for anyone else, because only a selfish person wouldn't want children.
Wait... why do you people have kids again?
.....well..... your mother should really have covered this with you.... but when a man and a woman
love each other very much..... :lol:
Having kids is a completely selfish decision
that is incorrect. for our first child, for example, it wasn't a decision at all (
surprise!). and if you'd asked us prior to if we wanted to get pregnant we would have told you Hell No - we had Things To Do.
So is not having them. In that respect, they're on even terms. What the individual winds up doing in other areas of there life is unrelated to whether or not they have kids. Again, I'm willing to bet I take a more active role in the world around me than a lot of the people here whining about how selfish the childfree are.
given that they are spending about 12-15 hours a day of their day raising the next generation, I would like to see your numbers if you are outperfoming them. that's impressive.
You display that selfishness by having a self-serving expectation for the life you brought into the world for your own selfish reasons. Hint: Anything starting with "I want..." is a selfish reason.
looks like you didn't read the post. wanting my boys to be well-adjusted, mature members of society who are able to love and be loved in return? yeah, not selfish of me to dedicate 20 years of my life, sleepless nights, and endless frustration to give that to them.
we didnt' have kids "so they would take care of us in our old age". but they probably will just as we are going to help
our folks. and those who
dont have kids will not have them to lean on when and if the entitlement system goes underwater due to the fact that not enough people have had kids.
It doesn't count as "other people's kids" taking care of them if the people who get that government help have been paying for it their entire lives.
in fact it does because that is the reality of the situation. whether you think that is "fair" or not is immaterial. reform suggestions to make this
not the case have been met uniformly with heads-rotating-180-degrees-spewing-vomit from your side of the political aisle.
The fact that the government pilfers the funds they have been putting money into for 40+ years is not their fault.
actually since they elected the bastards who did it.... it is
Democracy ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
