Having a child is the complete opposite of narcissism. All my goals in life went from being about me to being about her. Deciding that you are so important that you should be the end of your parental lineage seems like the pinnacle of narcissism to me. And in the case of some women, the changes to their body are a notable factor in the decision, which is textbook narcissism. The idea that having children as being a self-serving act can only be proffered by a child, in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having a kid would be a decision my future wife and I would have to agree on. If she said no, I’d be content with that decision. However, yeah that’s funny. I’ve had random texts like that before. I thought you were like 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have kids who thinks like this. If you’re economically unstable or not fit physically / mentally / emotionally, then please don’t have kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it’s been the greatest experience of my life. Humbling, gratifying, enriching, etc. It’s one thing to to try to be a good person when you’re young and single. It’s completely different when the person you care most about in the world is watching you as the template for how they’re going to behave and treat others. All of a sudden you hold yourself to a much higher standard. Or at least I did... Is it expensive? Yep. Do they at times wear on your last nerve? You bet. Is there ever a second I regret it, even for a moment? Nope. Now that’s just me, and if others don’t agree that’s fine, don’t have kids. Like @candyman93 said too, if you can’t afford them, can’t dedicate the time to raise them, etc, then don’t have them. If you don’t want them, don’t have them. But don’t pretend that you’re decision is anything more than a personal preference. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking six weeks off work during prime football season. What a pathetic way to jump everyone else on the PTO wait lists.

Speaking from experience you’d better fight to hold said newborn and watch football so the other gets the much more difficult job of watching the other 2 kids. Otherwise your 6 week football vacation will turn into full time toddler sitting and midnight newborn feedings watching highlights of all the games you missed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a rolled up newspaper to smack them over the nose and rubbed their face in it. Don’t know if it’s the best way, but neither of my boys piss on the floor often and they’re only 8 and 13. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potty treats were an absolute must, usually something bigger/more exciting for when they dropped a deuce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
