Children are a burden.
  • Just ask the family member that you want to help what you should do. If the kids are young they like to talk your ear off or play. Many a kid used me as a make shift tree to climb on lol

  • There is just so much more to it but the reality is I did have a bunch of kids with the same woman and I didn't want to be a shit parent like mine were so now I can't see my life without them and it is worth it. As for what the future holds for them as adults and me as being an old man is still waiting to be seen but I wouldn't turn away that life you described.

    There are lots of people who are 40+ regretting not having kids and wanting their own now but it's just getting tougher. There is always kids in need of good mentors so check out things like Big Brother, Big Sisters or maybe coaching if you're into sports.

    I have 6 kids but I still think about fostering kids since I can't adopt (they don't like single parents).

  • A crazy amount of things, dem ass and titties, a partner you think you'd be together with forever, a partner that didn't believe in abortions, having one kid and thinking it wasn't so bad, lying to myself that it'd be no more than 2, did I mention dem ass and titties? Those can be so persuasive when the little guy is doing the thinking.

  • You are correct, although in my case with my older kids they like to hide that they're happy when I get home lol

  • If you noticed what I said in my reply I explicitly state why I used it and in the correct usage. It's obvious I understand that they are different and in what content to use either of them in.

    I have kids that I raise, they are great kids, I love them to death but if someone thinks kids aren't a burden (of any sort) than they're lying.
