I didn’t make my kid. Adopted.
But it’s the same thing, the same feeling.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a grumpy asshole, but I try harder to be decent. I try to be the dad that the kid deserves, and that includes setting an example by being better than I used to be.
It’s some powerful shit, when you let yourself feel it.
That’s that evolutionary programming kicking in, convincing you to slave away with the goal of increasing the survival rate of your offspring.
I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just saying that your’e a machine and this affects your program:
If(havebaby=true){parentalmotivation++}
That’s going to always increase parentalmotivation.
Like if(true) but with side effects.
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re using one of the languages that uses := for assignment. :P
Oh, maybe I wanted to use ==
Following the lifecycle of the species is one path towards an ok life.
obvi fake
Yeah no shit. Germans don’t feel joy
Very recently, I was chatting with a coworker who is a dad, and he said, “I love my kids, but don’t do it”
Bit of a different vibe from that guy.
It’s a commitment. If you are not willing to have your life completely changed then yeah, you better not do it. It’s not a path for selfish people. There is not a lot of “me time”, as a parent.
IDK that I’d be so quick to refer to people who don’t have kids as selfish… Certainly there are selfish people that shouldn’t have kids for that reason, but not all people who are willingly childless, are selfish.
bcs this is 4chan I assumed they had a crush on her for 16 years and actually never talked to her
yeah i was confused on how he made a kid without ever talking to her
It says a lot about the world that only certain people who can afford certain experiences can enjoy it and the rest are bitter.
Having said that, I’m proud of anon and his likely faked story and son.
