monza sp1 xis 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
i really feel like everything in life your life takes greater meaning when you have kids and everything you do beforehand is just sorting yourself out so you can raise them

yea. Agreed. I have very strong family values in me. Small ass family, no family splits, so it's stayed small, 4 cousins total, 4 uncles/aunts total. because of that though, we've all stayed extremely close. no drama, just love.
it's the drama, that I see, that causes people to not value family as much as they should.

crine thats huge to me. 0 aunts/uncles, 0 cousins, grandparents dead before i was born. that's informed my pov on family to a large degree. to me family is who you choose, not who ur born into
humeyyou should have a teenage son by now 😭
One of my bros does
no thanksMake sure you have them kids so they can be good little workers now ya hear?
childrearing is an important part of the maturation process that when delayed, can lead to permanent pubescent mentality/immaturity.
Having kids just because you feel like youre “supposed to” is so much worse than not having them

meh my grandparents are straight old world immigrants who’ve had liters of kids & I feel like I’ve mostly seen the downside of that aspect, I certainly don’t consider anyone outside of my immediate family “family”

Cherrywine1You 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

WindmasterOne thing i forgot to mention is aging, our view on this subject changed dramatically as lifespans increased, before when 50-60 was max age it made sense to have kids younger, now we live to 70-80+, its natural to wanna push responsibilitirs back, but just be aware that there is a time limit
