there were 1 million and one posts from parents complaining that they were not stuck at home with their awful children that they couldn’t ship off to learning jail.
I know a lot of people who were effectively told "You need to be online 24/7 now, because you're working from home" on top of being told "we're shutting off that daily child care service that affords you time to do a normal 9-5" and that fucking sucked. But if you're being told that kids are getting in the way of doing your job, then you're buying into some seriously fucked propaganda if you decide the problem is your kids.
Plus most everyone I know attributes their mental health problems to their parents sucking, myself included.
The worst psychic trauma I ever suffered was losing my dad in an accident when I was 11 years old. I have friends and extended family who grew up without a parent - due to death or divorce or what have you - and its enormously difficult relative to having both parents (even not-great parents) in the house and able to do parenting.
most parents I know have bags under their eyes and a blank look on their face as the moan about the miseries of child rearing
Your life inevitably begins to revolve around your kids as you get older. But a critical caveat to that is your kids making friends and you getting a second lease on a social life by way of that network of parents. I have found its incredibly difficult to meet other adults and form friends out of college. That's in no small part due to work life being so divorced from home life. I don't live on a street with a dozen of my coworkers, we're all scattered across the city. But as kids socialize with each other, local families inevitably form new bonds and new relationships.
I had bags under my eyes in college. I've had bags under my eyes while on some crazy work project. Bags-under-the-eyes is just a way of life sometimes. But what I'm working for, when I have an opportunity to parent, is worth so much more than anything I do for a paycheck. And there are a host of knock on benefits that I feel go unmentioned.
their explanations often sound like a drug addiction. “Oh yeah it triggers some special breeding chemicals in my brain that FEEL SO GOOD!”
We're chemical animals. If you're feeling good, its because your brain is releasing Feel Good sensations. That's true whether you're dancing, playing video games, fucking, or raising your kids.
The difference between doing a line of cocaine and taking care of a toddler should be fairly obvious.

Natalism is correct and antinatalism is wrong. Cope and seethe.
