I do wonder how many people here actually have kids
I have two and having kids is a hardship, it takes away from the other things you wanted to do with your life
I am not saying I am unhappy because I can’t work 14 hours a day instead of having my kids. I am saying it’s weird how no one fucking acknowledges the challenges that come with parenthood
There is also a completely real thing where pregnancy is hard on a woman’s body and it takes a while for a woman to acknowledge the changes and maturity and to accept it.
I love my kids and I wouldn’t change a thing but I am not ready for even one more at this point. Maybe it’s the fact that the economy is fucked and there is war but fuck I need a break. I think two is enough for me even though I do wish we had a kid who was more like my wife. Both kids are literally copies of me in image and spirit and I find it unfair she did all the heavy lifting but didn’t get a child that was more like her
