I've helped raised three kids so far and I have to say that considering the amount of time it takes to raise and take care of them. You really don't have room for anything else. It's honestly not worth of it in my opinion.

I've been rubbing off on you lol.
I like the bluntness of what you wrote though. Having kids takes away a lot of options and freedoms in life that aren't really worth it but that people have been brainwashed into doing or that they do so they can get welfare money or have someone taking care of them.
If you're amongst the best and brightest you can look at having kids but these morons shouldn't. They aren't in a position to do it well.

I like children and all, but it takes so much of my time to raise some. But, it also takes alot of time to get good at a trade for example like math. So, in the end I have to pick one and tbh I rather be good at a trade than have children. Combine with the liabilities that exist it's not worth it. I'll most likely adopt when I'm older.

I watched the video you posted and I sorta agree about what he said about responsibility. Though, for me it's not about not taking on too much responsibility. Rather, it's about not being able to dedicate myself to children because I have other responsibilities to myself that go beyond just taking care of myself [Desire to be successful]. Alot of times people have to balance family and work. I personally don't see the value in family. I rather devote myself to my work.

He doesn't have kids because it takes away from his freedom of doing what he wants and that he doesn't mind kids personally. He just doesn't want to give up his freedom to pursue his dreams. If people would at least wait until they've accomplished something before having kids this would be different, but many just crank them out and ask questions later which is self defeating. |

Yeah, I remember talking to a friend back in trade school about going overseas and he basically said this: If you're young and don't have kids. You can do it and make alot of money.
He was talking about me at the time. Since he himself had children and that wasn't feasible for him. I mean, I know a guy who studied 12 hours everyday in post grad school. How would you accomplish that with kids? lol.

No young man should be worried about kids anyways, it's not like you have a time clock. |
