Me: “wow, I never want to have kids.”

Parents: “WHAT? It’s the lost wonderful experience ever!!!”

    I am both those parents at all times. Having kids was a terrible idea, caused incredible hardship for my extended family, and I don’t recommend anybody do it, ever.

    I’d do it again, though. My kids kick ass.

      I like kids but when little kids are running around I can’t help but think of them more as wild animals than humans. I imagine having a toddler can’t be all that different from having a feral pet monkey

          I’m joking, behaviorally they just seem a bit animal, esp when they get zoomies. My mom babysit 3 toddlers the other week and they were stomping around and running under tables and throwing stuff, and it really felt like escapen zoo animals scurrying around
