Re: short sighted
Have you contemplated what your life will be like when you’re fifty, sixty or seventy years old?
I’m curious what you imagine it will be like without having children or grandchildren in your old age.
- Simon_says 8y agoYea, thanks for asking. It's a serious topic, and I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about it. I honestly think that for me it'll be about the same, except I'll have more money and free time. But then again, I'm a person who does not really enjoy the company of children. Obviously other people feel differently and can make other choices for their own life, but I think this is the right choice for my life. I also think it's at least slightly unethical to bring a child into the world when there aren't two parents who are 100% on board with it. I definitely don't qualify.
- programmarchy 8y agoYeah, that makes sense. I’d agree it’s unethical to have kids if you didn’t want them. You have an obligation to provide for them once they’re born and it’s a lot of work. Neglecting that duty can cause lots of damage. It’s not for everyone, I suppose.
