Am I the Only One Who Wants Children Just To Make Their Parents Happy?

[SupaHotIce]

Of all the reasons to have children, that's one of the most pointless ones

Having children for your parents is not the business my guy
I didn’t have my daughter for my mother
I had her because I was ready and my wife was ready
Thing about child rearing is that the people who put the most pressure on you to have them
Don’t even like their own kids
Were raised by horrible parent’s themselves
So the grandparents want to make amends for their past sins with their grand kids
Not saying your parents are like this but it’s a lot out here with this mentality
Having a child is a whole lot of responsibility and I’m not just talking financial
Having a kid is hard especially if you still working through your own demons
As an older person, you know life is hard
Filled with disappointments, failures and angst
Sure there are good points on being an adult but let’s be reality
This shyt is hard as fukk and for the birds
Now take all the things you been through and try your damndest not to corrupt your child
That’s parenting in a nutshell
Trying to not fukk another persons life up because of life’s jaded toll they haven’t come to experience yet
But kids of this generation are smart as fukk so all those conversations your own parents had with you are different now
You can’t bullshyt these kids like our parents did
I say all that to say
Have a child when you are ready
Now I’m a strong proponent of having children around 30/31 if you have a child later
I just think it’s selfish
So you are in the sweet spot
Again, having children ain’t for everybody and is the most challenging shyt in the world
But watching them come into their own and the drive it gives you as a man to make sure they have everything and never want
No better feeling

Having kids for your parents is absolutely ridiculous

Abort the mission breh

Btw, I’m not saying that’s the only reason. I’m saying I feel pressured to have them sooner rather than later before they pass away without meeting their grandchildren.

My lady is starting that passive “biological clock” talk. “So and so from work just gave birth.” Da fukk you telling me for?
