I don’t like most child-free people.
Not because of their position per-se. Not that I decline them with their decisions over their own lives. They’re perfectly free to choose.
And honestly, since most time with their positions they show the horrifying lack of basic intellect, I’d love this type of people to never ever have any children. So, personally, I have no issues with their will of having no kids.
What makes me not liking them is their argumentation. Quite frankly, it’s just beyond stupid. I haven’t met a single child-free person who was wise.
Smart, sometimes. Wise, never.
First, most of the geniuses I met, they’re in their early twenties, or even late teens.
Guys, you are the fucking kids. It’s me, thirty-something guy talking. I’m not even far from you. But you are not even adults in that age. Yes, you’d better have no kids of your own that early.
Kids raising kids, a disaster.
Second, there are arguments like ‘I don’t like kids, they are [whatever is not comfortable to them: noisy, loud, dirty].’
Yeah. Totally busted. It’s not worth it, having kids, they are dirty and noisy.
These things are surely proclaimed by someone who meditates in the mountains of Chiang Rai. And their space is ideally clean.
Sometimes these people have dogs. Sometimes ugly dogs, those dirty and smelling, and not even smart ones. So that argumentation does not actually stand a reality check.
The third kind of people I met, they obsessed with money.
Like, yeah, kids are expensive. Sure thing, bringing Apple tens of thousands a year is a much better investment.
The fourth type is, ‘I’m living for myself’ type. ‘Living my best life.’
For whom you think you make kids? For others? For kids themselves?
Oh, yeah, better not make kids, please. Live for yourself.
The list could grow on and on.
I’m a child-free guy with two kids, and I’m open to three or even four kids, and possibly adopting too. But I don’t like kids much. I’m not in awe of them. I’m very tired of them too.
It’s just, I think if you’re smart, you’ll have hard time finding argumentation for why you’ll never ever have kids, and actually being true to your word.
I have no issues with people claiming ‘it’s not the time for me’ or ‘maybe some day,’ but I don’t accept the ‘never’ excuse. Because it’s stupid. You’ll never know.
I think there are very legitimate arguments you can actually use for the ‘not having kids yet’ excuse.
- Kids are a genetic lottery. Even a perfectly healthy pair of parents can have a child with issues, health, physical, mental.
- It’s a lottery of your surroundings. Today it’s safe, tomorrow it’s mortal danger. Hi from Ukraine.
- Kids will make you miserable and exhausted. And sleepless too.
- Your life would become much more difficult, you’ll be surprised how much more difficult.
- Labour is no fun, it can be very dangerous for a woman.
Kids are very difficult. Many things can go out of hand, life could be unpredictable.
I just have never heard any of these arguments brought up by the child free geniuses.
I think to truly realise them, first you need to have at least one kid of your own. Not a younger sibling, or your neighbour’s kids.
That’s why I don’t like them. The child free folks. They proclaim the stupid things, and they show off with them, not even realising how ridiculous their arguments are, once given at least a tiny amount of thought.
You can have this child free mentality when you actually experience what having kids is like. Otherwise, it’s just ‘I hate durian’ from the people who only saw them in pictures, and never tasted them, at best.
But most times it’s the people that don’t even know what this durian is.
