You are if you suck at raising kids. Some of the happiest people I know are parents of young children.
Okay, I just came back to the server to call you an asshole @Doctor Anon glad I finally got to do it
some of the most miserable people I know are
And you can get tons of work done while you do it if you follow a traditional parenting model.
Well, they suck at it, hah.
not to mention my CP could get genetically passed down
If you could raise a child who could be your best friend into your old age, make more money than you ever could, and do more good than you ever could, would you?
And not to mention all the good they and their ancestors would do for the economy
Yeah I understand that concern.
and my wife has a pathological fear of pregnancy
First legitimate concern I've heard
Well someone told her some BS I guess
no
pathological fears arent rational
Why does it matter? It's a couple's individual choice if they decide they don't want to have children, it's not hurting anyone else
That fear goes against her biology which is why I believe someone gave it to her
because Wendie people could have a better life and create beings that have a better life and they refuse it for (usually) stupid reasons
in our society as a whole
I think having children is a duty of mine as a responsible person
Having them raising them and having them do more good than I have
And that's cool, but if other people don't think so and they have the ability to live a full life without children, why are they selfish? It's their choice
raising a child wont help me destroy humanity
Did I condemn anyone as selfish Wendie?
I didn't
I'm trying to argue people could have it better by having children
And have a more meaningful life
that's fair, but it's not what everyone thinks
its meaningful to you did you consider that not everyone has the same values?
and I'm positing people are almost always wrong when they think that
my values exist for good reason, I didn't pull them out of my ass, so of course I believe they are widely applicable
as do you
I cite the parents that abuse physicaly and monetarily
Ok, so you will one day wake up and become an abuser?
your parenting is not throwing the dice
thats anecdotel
it's not, everyone is a certain way. and if someone is super messed up they shouldn't have kids, of course, until they fix their super-messed-up-ness
but anyone who is reasonably stable, at the very least I think not having kids is a big risk
you're missing out on something huge
what? sleep deprivation?
Having a new best friend, having someone to carry "you" on while you're gone, not being old and lonely and helpless, having someone to do better than you ever did at .. everything
