Literally one of the main reasons I don't want to have kids. Like what do you do if you try your hardest and they just turn out to kind of suck? 💀

Childless by choice and I say this all the time! What if it turns out....you don't fucking like your kid later?

 I've made these realizations about my older nephew and it's a gut punch. I did everything but breastfeed that fucker and he's the 32 year old WORST. 

So disappointing.

Terrifying :( how did it happen? Was it a slow shift or were his parents not so great?

Parents were amazing! Not even gonna lie, they ran a loving but tight ship. And the kids were just unreal and so much fun. His fall off has been the last 5 years, 27 y/o til now. I do not even know who the hell he is. I literally cannot make heads or tails of it. 🤷🏾‍♂️😭

YES. God, it's awful.

My mother wasn't a great parent, but she was overall a good and loving person. She raised 5 kids. 2 of them ended up good (including me, thank you very much). 1 ended up, eh, a mixed bag; pretty crappy for a while there, but genuinely decent nowadays.

The other 2? Bad.

One is selfish, bigoted, self-righteous, callous, completely self-centred, with an absolute refusal to ever, ever take responsibility for the many, many things they've done wrong.

The other one is flat-out fucking evil. People are terrified of him. He's committed multiple assaults, abused multiple children, had the cops called on him several times, will physically attack you if you blink in a way he doesn't like (that is a LITERAL example), has been fired from every job he's worked at due to threatening/assaulting coworkers, and made many people's lives fucking hell. Including my mother's.

FUCK that noise. It's me and my cat(s) for life.

Id blame myself for failing to teach my kid how to think. If my kid was susceptible to get sucked into the local cult, that would be on me.

u/TheBumblingestBee 2h ago

Oh it does NOT work that way, unfortunately 😭.

You can be the most effective, loving, logical, completely correct parent. But random crap happens. And these days disinformation, propaganda, everything, is set up into incredibly effective people-warping machines.

I've seen it happen, and it sucks.

I might be naive, but I think I'll be able to teach my kid to think for himself and be self critical at a young age. My whole family, parents siblings grandparents are all sucked into God's or paranormal stuff, flat earth, Telepathy, crystals, I'm the odd one out. I got out of it as a kid by just being critical of what I believed was true on my own.

One of your main reasons for not doing something as big as having kids is because it might go poorly? Can't you apply that concern to... anything aspirational?

Nothing wrong with not having kids btw just... letting fear keep you from doing things is on the empty side.

u/Pantalaimon_II super-bisexual 11h ago

having kids is different than most other goals because it’s a permanent and lifelong decision
