> I am talking about experiences, relationships, and outlook-defining memories.
And "pumping out kids" as you put it does this for many people. Sorry it doesn't for you, but saying that it isn't a "win" for some people is short sighted.
> You can do more. You can be more. You can experience more.
Many would say the same of those in their 30s and 40s with kids.
> Sad.
Again, many would say the same about your aspirations. Insulting, isn't it?
My point being, what makes you happy, doesn't make others, so don't cast someone who has kids at 21 with a home and ability to provide for them into a bucket of not "winning" at life.

I’m not against kids. I want kids, I’m going to have kids. But I’m going to finish getting some bucket list items out of the way first, when they’re possible and practical to do. >Many would say the same of those in their 30s and 40s with kids. Some things are either not possible or not responsible to do once you have kids. And once they’re adults, you’re too old. >Again, many would say the same about your aspirations. Insulting, isn't it? Not at all! I’m okay with that. Everyone’s living their own life and others can have an opinion on it if they want to. >My point being, what makes you happy, doesn't make others, so don't cast someone who has kids at 21 with a home and ability to provide for them into a bucket of not "winning" at life. Again, I started a more involved discussion, but the original comment strongly implied that earlier is better and I disagree. Sorry you’re taking it so personally.
