From a pretty early age I decided I didn’t want to get married or have kids cuz both my parents seemed utterly miserable. For a long time I found it weird anyone wanted to do it at all, why would you want to be trapped with someone you hate who you get into screaming arguments all the time?
And it’s not just me, you see a lot of jokes online about people like playing that one scene from Marriage Story while playing old N64 games for nostalgia.
I think the experience of seeing our own parents be so miserable maybe soured a lot of us on starting families.
that rule is written because there is some depressing bozo philosophy called anti-natalism, which is not the same thing as being “against the hordes of natalists asserting you secretly want to have a baby or you’renot a real person”.
Who around here has ever said that if you don’t secretly want to have a baby, you are not a real person?
I didn’t say people were doing that here
Ah, my bad.
