I'm not a dad, but I'm curious about something:
Does your outlook on the world and its future change after having a kid(s)?
For me, as it is right now, I'm counting myself lucky if I can make it through the next ~70 years without encountering any massive wars and/or struggles. I'm white in America so I feel like it's been relatively chill since the 90s.
One of the many reasons why I don't want to have kids is because I feel like life's going to inevitably get more difficult going forward with political divides, inflation, constantly increasing regulations, etc. and I don't really want to put another human being through all that BS. It's not entirely a "the world is s---" outlook, but more of a "I didn't sign up for - at least - 50 years worth of work and taxes...why force somebody else into that?" outlook.
The working/taxes combo is just one example - and I'm even counting myself lucky because I somewhat enjoy my job and don't mind punching into it for 40 hours a week. There's obvious other things like losing loved ones, wars, food/water shortages, an infinite list of other potential stressors.
So just curious if that magically changes at all when the kid shows up or nah?Ordinary Joel, DKC, Sign Language and 4 others like this. -

Think of how many accounts and passwords and forms and s--- that we've had to deal with that our parents didn't. I'd consider myself somewhat tech-competent, but I'm definitely aware that I'm starting to not keep up as much as I used to.
So take that leap from our parents to us...now imagine another leap of the same size from us to the next generation.
Using the word "regulations" was an odd choice, but I wanted to shorten up something like "bureaucratic requirements", I guess.Ordinary Joel, DKC, Mudkip and 3 others like this. - Apr 25, 2024

Daddit sub Reddit page is awesome and heart breaking for stay at home dads or single dads providing for their kids. Being a new dad I felt so many things at the very beginning like my son absolutely hated me and how that made me feel, it was nice to see other dads going through the same thing feeling how I did and there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I also don't like this stigma of dad doesn't know how to take care of child so the idea of doing so turns into a comedy movie. It was great to get tips and advice from the dads perspective but then there were the very gut wrenching stories of sids or still born or mothers dying while giving birth that just really slap you across the face to cherish every moment and understand it could be much worse.Ordinary Joel, CJ Poe and Z Gangsta like this. -

Unless stereotypical zombies are simply representations of aggressive homeless people - in which case I could see that threat becoming a real thing sooner than later.Ordinary Joel, Sign Language and Ricky like this. -
