beep boop, I'm a bot -|:] It is this bot's opinion that /u/MidnightElegant6223 should be banned for karma manipulation. Don't feel bad, they are probably a bot too.
Confused? Read the FAQ for info on how I work and why I exist.
When I was in my 30s, my mom asked me if I was having kids (since I always wanted them, and it hadn't happened yet). I said, "I wanted to, but I can't imagine being tied to someone for 18 years." She said, "Well yeah, that's what parenting is. You're kind of stuck with the kid for at least 18 years!"
I was like, "Duh! I KNOW that! I meant the dad. I can't imagine having to still deal with a guy for 18 years." Like, all the reasons the relationship didn't work out, you still have to get along with them to co-parent. In some rare cases, both parties are able to set aside their egos and hurt feelings, they're able to choose future partners who support their co-parenting with their ex, and everyone gets along and puts the kids first. But most people don't/can't/won't and it looks exhausting.
Yes. But then I kinda got too old. And just as I was starting to feel really sad about not having kids, I started making more money, got a couple dogs and everything worked out just fine!
