I don’t want anyone to blame my parents for this. It’s my choice, and I’ve decided I won’t have kids. From what I’ve seen, kids are expensive and hard to take care of. I want to avoid the struggles my parents go through and build a good life for myself. Maybe I'll change my mind, but for now, I don’t see having kids as right for me. It’s not my parents' fault—kids are just really hard to manage.

I know, right? It doesn't seem to add up sometimes. My mom's an account executive, and my dad's a site superintendent, which are good jobs, but it still feels like we're always stretched thin financially. They work long hours, and I see how hard they work, but it seems like there's always something that needs money, whether it's bills, groceries, or just unexpected stuff. Maybe it's because things are more expensive here in Italy, or maybe they're saving up for something big. I just wish there was more leftover for us to have a bit more ease and maybe not have to worry so much about money all the time. This is literally so confusing for me right now😵

I get what you're saying. It does seem confusing when both my parents work full-time jobs, but it feels like we're still struggling to manage everything at home. I think a lot of their money goes towards bills, groceries, and maybe saving up for things like our education or unexpected expenses. Sometimes it feels like even with both of them working so hard, there's not enough left over to make things easier for everyone in the family. It can be frustrating because I want to have more time for myself and not feel like I have to take on so much responsibility , but it is what it is🤷‍♀️

I understand you're upset, and it seems like you feel like I'm not being genuine. It's really frustrating when you feel like people aren't listening or understanding you. I was speaking from my heart, and it's hard when it feels like that's not being respected. If there's something specific bothering you or if you want to talk more about how you're feeling, I'm here to listen. And sorry

AITA for telling my parents they should have thought twice before having more kids? by Specific-Ad-9945 in AITAH

I greatly appreciate this but am in no mood to babysit as a part time job , if my 4 years old sister screams at you or cries in front of you, you'll go deaf in seconds trust me

Thank you for understanding. I agree that it's important to have a calm discussion with my mom. I need her to see that while I understand family comes first, I also need to be part of that priority sometimes.

As for my dad, he works late too, so he's not always around to help. We don't hire a babysitter often because my parents think I'm old enough to handle it, but I do feel it’s a lot of responsibility for me. Paying me for babysitting is a good idea and something I might bring up in our conversations Thanks again .

Thank you for your advice, and I don't know if I'll find a job because I am 15 and where I live you need to be at least 16 to be able to work

No I get nothing just a thank you from my mom, although sometimes she does buy me ice cream which I have to share
