is it true that your perspective changes when you have them?
i've heard a bunch of people who never wanted kids say everything changed when they saw them for the first time
it changes because you see yourself forced to do that, but that doesn't work for everyone unfortunately, that's why we shouldn't bring children with the objective of changing ourselves

Yes
@op
none of this is going to get better, this isn’t a doomer narrative this is just where we are headed
anti-aging d**** & reproductive selection (gene modifications)
science is about to make everything about our biology and how we look at ourselves change i wouldn’t even worry about this any longer lmfao
Yea im not a expert on folicle stem cell niche maturation/renewal but from what i do know we dont have the knowledge or d**** to improve female reproductive aging yet, but itll probably start to become a thing in a decade or 2
well obviously they BECOME that because you have no choice unless you're a heartless mf that will abandon their child at an orphanage
it's just coping with your choices, there's nothing beautiful about it unless we ourselves give them that purpose, but it all depends on us to see it that way, and most of the times this is done as a form of coping with our new reality, we convince ourselves that this is beautiful because we cannot do the opposite anymore, or doing that will affect negatively upon our life
This is projection and you’re wrong, respectfully
Ironically enough, I believe that this mentality in itself is closer to coping

Again, you’re wrong on this. Do you have kids?
It the past it was normal for Women
Not for Men
Men would run their money up about the same age that we do now, mid 30s to 40s. Then they would marry an 18-23 year old that could pop out healthy babies and be reasonably happy with your income, and the woman wouldn’t have to work
Feminsm and women in the workforce has ended that way of thinking, women are too independent to rely on a man for money, which creates this problem
this makes a lot of sense, i sorta think idk like women and ppl in general shouldnt be forced to be super productive, the real issue is the lack of wage growth, which forces women to work to sustain a family
Again, you’re wrong on this. Do you have kids?
of course not
also f*** that I ain't providing the government with new slaves
This is real too. The issue of demographic collapse is largely just economic, in other ways it could be a good thing, but they wanna up the birth rate to stimulate the economy mainly
This is projection and you’re wrong, respectfully

idk this is my uneducated opinion

I've always wanted kids so was never really "worried" about that
I actually expected my mindset to change a lot more than it actually did, I still feel like myself but now I get to see and help a little person that is a combination of me and the love of my life grow up into their own person. Its an incredible feeling.
of course not
You couldn’t possibly know what it’s like to be a parent without kids of your own. It’s hard to fathom if you don’t have kids yourself, but genuine love for your own children is not some “cope” that we force on ourselves. That’s just apart of your worldview
Your loves for your kids comes naturally if you’re a normal, healthy minded person

genuine love is not cope, I'm not generalizing here, I was answering in the context of 'having a child changes yourself' because someone asked about 'it changes you after having a child?'

Deadbeat Dads everywhere disagree

I see what you’re saying. Still hard disagree though. It’s more of an honor than a “cope” imo
there's a documentary about this
haha so epic bro, I’ll fry up so bacon to that. What’s your Reddit? I’d love to send you some gold

Word, that's dope

its whatever you want it to be, that's why for you it can become an honor and for some it can become a burden
most people are on auto-pilot and their mind just automatically protects them from bigger emotional damage, making them believe reproduction is the answer to their long-searched purpose in life
this is again just my understanding, I'm not saying this as a universal truth

Good. F*** men
I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
