    Some people just aren’t interested in having kids. I’ve had countless great moments in my life I will always remember fondly. There isn’t a single one of those moments I think would’ve been better if I had a kid lol. I don’t think my life would be worse, just different.

      There’s been tons of moments I’ve shared with friends who have kids who I’ve seen and experienced with and literally thought “that must feel amazing”.

      Then I go home to a quiet house, feed my farm animals, and just… Quit life for a few hours. Nothing else to worry about. I’m sure there is a ton of emotional and rewarding moments having children, but I appreciate the rest of the time where I just don’t ever have to worry about them.

      Kids are a blessing you don’t miss if you don’t have them, and can’t imagine living without when you do

        Incorrect. My mother never let me forget that she regretted not following through with aborting me. She always imagined how much better life would have been without me.

          For me that is so mind-boggling to hear. I am really sorry for you, and that bitch did not deserve you.

          I became a father quite late, and had/have a good life before and after. Just very different lives. Less time for my hobbies, friends, projects, but spending time with someone who loves Legos, drawing, making loud noises for the heck of it fills me with joy.

          My own parents while loving never really made feel like I was a priority. So I never miss a chance telling my son that I so happy it was him I got, and how much I love him.

          I hope you are in better place now, because you deserve it.
