Having Kids (Unedited)

I like being a parent, but seriously, you shouldn’t have kids.

Unless you already have kids, then nevermind.

But if you don’t have kids, and you are on the fence about it… Don’t do it.

Again, I love my kid, and I wanted to be a parent.

But there are too many people on this planet honestly, and also, most parents are really bad at it. Really; they suck at it.

Besides, you could become the crazy aunt or uncle to a kid, who shows up at holidays. Not the racist drunk uncle, but the silly one that accidently swears at inappropriate times, and let’s slip that how their dad got really high at a Phish concert in college. Doesn’t that sound like more fun? And then at the end of the night, you get to go home, leaving the parents stuck with the kids you just filled up with sugar and bad ideas.

Actually, who I need to be talking to are the people who have kids that try to convince other people to have kids. No one will say this to your face, but you are an awful friend for doing that. Quit pushing your breeding ways on people who don’t want to have a litter.

It’s like when your friend falls in love, and then they think that if you went and fell in love it would solve all your problems. Remember that person in your life? No matter how many time you told them you were fine being single, they were still positive they could couple you up with someone and then you wouldn’t be so lonely and bitter.

The point here is that we should just let people make their own decisions.
