I've had an entire building to myself. I guess I made too much of a comment about working from home.
We did not have a kid through any mistake. There was an understanding. Sometimes you do things you don't like to get what you want.
Civilization would be better off with fewer people, not more. That's a weird thing to say.
I thought my point was clear but I guess not.
Enjoying being a parent is not a requirement. Good on you, if you do. If all you do is try hard and don't F them up, that's good too. It's not said enough but not everyone likes kids or parenthood and you don't have to feel alone or bad. It's ok.

- igetspam 4y agoYou may be right but my position here hasn't changed over the decades, while my politics generally have. :)
- peter422 4y agoI'll just say good for you for putting in the work. I think I accept the struggle with more positivity than you do (because I actively wanted to have kids), but it's still a struggle. People have tried to make me feel bad about it but that doesn't bother me either. I can feel how I want as long as I'm being a good parent for my children.
