By all means, if you see raising a child as trivial, mundane and boring, then I would like to recommend not having any children until that outlook changes. Children require love, empathy and sacrifice.
What really intrigues me, though, is your statement that you "look down" on people who decided to raise children. Does that include looking down on your own parents for that decision?
I freely admit that I don't understand and can't identify at all with that kind of thinking. It's one thing to say you don't understand why someone would sacrifice certain things in their life to raise children, but looking down on those people is a whole different beast.
- tomjen3 14y agoWhile I love my parents as I have gotton older I see how much of their life they put on hold to have me. How many dreams they postponed and how much they worked for very little gain. Honestly skipping 10-12 years of your life in the hope that the output, over which you have very little control, will amount to something later is just crazy. Better go and do something amazing on your own. You might still fail, but at least you will have direct control over the actions.
