When we become parents
- shinycode 6mo agoI know many people who have children and are not adults. And someone who never have kids will never be adult ?
- ReptileMan 6mo agoYes. When you don't have kids you can always quit the game/rat race one way or another if it gets too much. With kids - it is different. Kids are the only burden you can't easily shrug off in this life.
- sethammons 6mo agoI assume you grew up in different circles than me. I have seen countless kids shrugged off growing up poor and around drug addiction. I have heard the rich shrug them off to boarding school sometimes.
- shinycode 6mo agoSo you’ve never seen parents quit and neglect their kids ? That does not exists ?
- ReptileMan 6mo agoI have seen of course. But the point is - if you abandon everything in life right now while childless you are not a failure as human being. It is your right to say fuck it all at any moment. If you abandon your kids you are.
- shinycode 6mo agoAgreed, but it proves the point that having kids does not makes you an adult
- stinos 6mo agoSo people without children never become adults? Strange rule. Also not quite what the article is about.
- xxs 6mo agoAccording to the article that's what 25% of people think.
