Babies cry, that is how they communicate.
Yes you have to change diapers, it's not that hard.
Waking up at night every 2 to 3 hours because the baby wants to eat.
Yes teens are teens and?
Pretty much life as it always was...
Sounds to more like people are stuck in a comfort zone
Or in a TV world of the 80s/90s with sitcoms like full house.
- tomjen3 5y agoIt sounds to me like you should have gotten a puppy instead. Cheaper, cuter and can learn not to shit everywhere in 14 days or so.
- falcolas 5y agoYou’re mistaking my covering of the entire baby experience (sans childbirth) as disliking those things. They’re just baby things. My point is, I can get the full experience (namely the called out smiling) without them being mine.
- lampe3 5y agoOkay sorry got the wrong. I can tell you from experience, it is different if it is your own child.
- falcolas 5y agoAnd yet, I don’t feel any lack. I have two nieces who call me “Dad” because their own don’t love them. I have helped three nieces and nephews reach adulthood. I have another nephew who was just born and giggles at my voice. And, as much as I don’t have the experience to say how my life would be different with a child, you appear to lack the experience to know how your life would be different without a child. I have over 25 years of childless adult life, an experience many of my parent acquaintances don’t - can’t - have. It’s been a fulfilling life.
- willcipriano 5y agoIf they call you dad, and you helped raise them, you are a father. Adopting kids isn't being childless.
- falcolas 5y agoI didn’t adopt them, they still lived with their single mother. That said, I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you. :)
