As someone who had his first kid at 23, you grow up real quick once you become a parent. Moreover I doubt it’s even possible for a person to fully mature if they don’t have kids. Or to really understand their own parents for that matter.
- ddsf 3y agoI often see people settled into being more financially responsible, and it's good. But not in term of personality maturity.
- doubled112 3y agoI was 24 and still in college. This thread is full of people saying "I was a mess" or "I wasn't mature enough". When we found out we were pregnant, I was working at a gas station, my off hours spent riding around in a truck with my friends yelling things at people walking by on the street for reactions. There's maturity and stability. Now I'm "ahead" of many of those friends because I knew I needed to hurry up and get things done. Didn't have time to rage quit jobs. Didn't have time to sit around and make less because it was easier. So I agree with you. It tells me a lot about being responsible and mature. Most won't until they have to, and a kid has that effect.
- ein0p 3y agoWhat really cracks me up is that people have this expectation that they’ll ever be “ready” to have kids. Not going to happen. The whole thing reminds me of the first few minutes of “Idiocracy”.
- digging 3y ago> Moreover I doubt it’s even possible for a person to fully mature if they don’t have kids. This is my favorite of the lies parents tell, it's so obviously nonsensical
- ein0p 3y agoI take it you don't have kids.
