@halcionandon I got kids because that’s a box I ticked. I also got the average two kids. A boy and a girl.
A great deal of luck was of course involved in me being able to tick that box, but now it’s done.
I love them to bits but it’s insanely hard work, though it gets easier when they grow up.
Sometimes I can’t help think about what other things I might have accomplished if I hadn’t got any kids, that has taken all the spoons I have had the last 17 years.
@halcionandon not necessarily a better life, I don’t think, but very different. Probably more productive from a capitalist standpoint, and we all know by now (I hope) that, that is not a particularly great standpoint.
