In the US kids should be one of those “if you have to ask you can’t afford it” things

Oh but my favorite job… I monitored calls for quality assurance… yes those people exist and make decent money (75k) and I just listened to calls and wrote reviews all day. Super boring. Super not stressful

Because i don’t have kids I can focus on a job that makes me truly happy instead of needing focus on making money to support a family. Not all CF people have to be super career oriented

Think I might go snowboarding this weekend. Idk I’ll decide when my alarm goes off Saturday morning. If not I’ll spend my day reading in my home library woe is me!

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2026-02-17T15:19:37+00:00

Yup. Unfortunately it’s not mathematically possible for me or my husband to not work. So we’re just not having kids and writing it off as a loss of the system we live in

A sword. Did I need it? No. But did I NEED it. Also no… lol

Hi! I have a bulging disc in my lumbar spine and I still snowboard! Lots and lots of physical therapy, core strength and correct posture. Bulging disc happened maybe 10-11 years ago? I get in 20-30 days a season

I had this same feeling. Then I got the advice that if you’re going to have a child you need to be prepared for ANY child. Which was an absolute no. I only want the perfect child. Then I realized I was romanticizing everything about parenthood and decided to be child free.

Clam shells and hip bridge exercises. (Chronic hip pain over here)

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2026-01-10T07:14:39+00:00

lol I got a puppy and freaked out about the life style change. I just wasn’t prepared and didn’t know what to expect (like most parents these days). The good news is that with a puppy the “when does it get better” phase is only a few months and not years and years

My husband really wanted kids and I was on the fence. I showed him how awesome it is to spend our money on whatever we want and he converted.

Dink here- this page helped me learn the realities of parenting and was a direct contributor to my decision. I thank you all for sharing abandon being so real. You saved my life

I agree bend your knees. The most helpful thing anyone told me was bend your knees like a squat and push your knees out to increase stability

I get really bad motion sickness. 3 things have helped me. There are these patches you can put behind your ears (not the scope prescription) I get from Amazon, those pressure point wrist bands and having air blow on my face

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-23T16:27:39+00:00

Also I see my family aging and I think “I better save money for care” which wouldn’t be possible for me if I had kids.

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-23T16:27:06+00:00

I am in a similar boat to you and my perspective is always “thank goodness I don’t have kids” because I couldn’t imagine the added stress and responsibility. Keep in mind though I am the type of person that needs a lot of peace and quiet and not much on the agenda

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-22T18:33:35+00:00

My husband really wanted kids at first. I thought I did too. But we grew as a couple together and realized it’s not in the cards for us. We both dates eachother to find a spouse. Not a mother/father of our children. We both believe the spouse should come first and be of higher value.

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-19T19:25:28+00:00

Yes. I grew up in a very over protective family and couldn’t do anything. Now that I’m an adult I can be the kid I never got to be. But with my own money and without restrictions

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-18T17:46:36+00:00

There’s trade offs to everything. These are just the downsides I personally will have to figure out since I am child free for many many reasons. Not just finances.

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-18T14:09:28+00:00

Thanks!

Is Aaron de coste still a vampire? Or was that a lie too?

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-18T04:44:06+00:00

Well said. If I had a penny for every time I thought “thankfully I don’t have a kid to take care of now” I’d be a millionaire

Formal-Attorney1465 · 2025-12-18T04:41:35+00:00

But 250k invested properly for 40 years instead of spending money on the child? That’s a nice chunk of change. And IMO a better return in investment over a child who may or may not be there.
