This is true.
Idk why I'd do with out having a million aunts and uncles and cousins on both sides. This summer I had a long line of ppl waiting to watch our kids. We also had hella kids at our house too. Parents NEED monthly breaks and help. The nuclear family is bullshyt. You need EVERYONE. The relationship between you, your kids and spouse suffer when you don't get time alone and your mental perspective on parenting suffers when you don't get breaks.

Parenting is the hardest thing you will ever do in your life.


If you actually care about your kids. If you don't, it's not that hard. Disappear for a few months, show up when you feel like it. If they ask a legitimate question bark at them to shut up. If they inconvenience you in any way, use your physical strength to hurt them so they're afraid of you and since they're too young and weak to fight back, you break their spirit(the way one breaks livestock)with sustained psychological and physical attack. Once they no longer have a mind of their own, live constantly in fear of you and harbor a hatred they can never act on because of that fear, then you're all done.

There's only one small problem about doing it the 'easy way' once your child is able to support themselves, they will never respect or talk to you again. If they're a male and get involved in gangs and crime, they may also kill you in cold blood as revenge.


People who don't have the patience, resources, support network, and emotional and cognitive intelligence needed to actually raise their children in a healthy environment simply shouldn't have kids. It does them no favors and it doesn't help the world.
Oh, again, I didn't know. We go everywhere and do everything together without too many worries in this world. Disney and Universal trips every 3-4 months (and Magic Kingdom every Christmas). Cheer competition, drama, wrestling, almost every day. On top of working and studying daily. House maintenance, cooking, and everything else with no sweat. I guess people are just mentally fragile

I think what they’re slowing starting to acknowledge is how western individualistic society/culture isn’t conducive to raising a family.

You need the grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, etc all around because parents can’t literally do it all, all along 24/7. Married couples need help, too. Not just “single moms”.

People don’t live like this in other cultures. Black folks understand this for the most part. We all need each other. Parents ESPECIALLY need help with their kids.
Are you tellin fellas to get their passports? :lupe: :jbhmm:

Yep. That’s why I advocate for polygyny

I’m on the fence about kids too.
1) they’re expensive
2) I think about divorce, child support, family court issues, weaponizing children like what I grew up with :sadcam:
Hear you...my comment was just addressing dude is a total selfish breh that doesn't give a fukk about anyone but himself tho. Lol

And if you on fence...from personal experience it's the greatest thing I've ever experienced...makes me fulfilled, makes me see things differently in a good way both personal views and society views, makes me grind harder...

I have a couple clients that are now pre retirees and retirees and wealthy.....no kids...and they are miserable. Thoughts that drove them to that in their early years were freedom and money...got to remember ur 20s 30s and 40s only half ur life or less....

Even when stuffs hard and backwards having ur kid look up to you and love you is something I can't describe...

Blessings tho breh...

WSJ Reports: Being an adult can contribute to stress and poor mental health.

WSJ also reports staying up late and eating ice cream and candy as an adult may not be idea.

WSJ also reports Marvel movies and wearing costumes aren't JUST for adults anymore. But kids might also like to watch these super hero movies as well.

I hate articles like this. They try to pathologize historically normal adult happenings as if they haven't been stressful for billions of humans before us. This that Millennial and GenZ shyt. :mjlol:

The article would've done better, to just suggest therapy. Nothing wrong with seeking help. But the article just came off as something that was deliberately made for open ridicule. :mjlol:
