Yesterday I was waiting outside on a street corner in downtown, waiting for my cab to pick me up. I had my over-the-ear headphones on and was off to the side so I wouldn't be in the way. Cue this beggar walking around with a sign. I don't read it because I'm scanning traffic for a cab. He stands right in front of me and gestures towards his sign. My eyes immediately fall on the words "Four starving children" so I shrug and look back at traffic. There are a billion resources for people with children and the area I'm in is known for beggars that aren't actually homeless. You'd think he'd just scoff and move on but no, he stands there still. I make the mistake of looking at him again and he's motioning for me to take my headphones off. I see my cab down the street so I remove my headphones. The dude asks me if I have any change. I shake my head. Now he's mad. "You don't even have a dollar? Anything? Those are some expensive headphones there and all I need is a couple bucks." (My headphones are non name brand and cost like $30) "I don't have any cash on me." I respond, and it's true. I just have my debit card. "I know you've got loving SOMETHING and I NEED this money for my four kids. They're cold and hungry." I look him in the eye as my cab pulls up and just say. "Then you probably should use your money for birth control next time." He starts freaking out and yelling at me and even punches the window on the cab as he's trying to get away. What do you think? Was I out of line?

Lolie posted:It also makes for lovely teenage years and not having grandparents around for long. My parents were in their mid-forties when I was born. One died when I was 24 and the other when I was 26, so the whole "taking care of your parents" thing came up for me quite young in my adult life and even my eldest (who was 6 when my mother died) has no recollection of them. Wait - so to make up for it you had kids yourself at 18? lol

Literally every guy I know with kids consistently and unflinchingly lies about what he's doing just to eek out an hour of quality non-chaos time to himself.

Do it ironically posted:true story people who have kids try to get other people to have kids because they hate their lives and want you to hate yours out of jealousy This is totally true... they are jealous of the CF people because they are going to be young forever and will just be having fun nonstop and will never die because they don't have kids.

I'd love to have kids but I'm pretty conflicted about whether I should. I have real bad depression and anxiety issues and would feel bad passing that on to someone else knowing full well I'm doing it. Also I'm afraid I wouldn't be up for the responsibility. I'll be an uncle in a couple of months though so that's cool I guess. edit: whoops serious posting in fuckin GBS

As someone with two children who I love very much, gently caress anyone who says that you have to have kids.

The mere act of bringing another human being into the world is of such incredible consequence and weight that the prospect of people rushing into it or going off emotions alone is crazy. What's the point of having kids, anyway? I'm still young and naive I guess but I don't see the appeal.

LoG posted:Just walked away from a two year relationship for many reasons, but the main one was that I don't want children and she does within three years. On our first date, she agreed with me, saying she had never wanted kids and was even a little iffy on marriage. Halfway through the relationship she changed her mind, then it was all: "so have you rethought the baby-thing? You have to tell me if you're sure you'll never change your mind. Why don't you want them? You must not love me the same as I love you." A year of this. I even softened my stance on it, considered it. Hey, I'm not going to be young and beautiful forever, right? But then she laid down the timetable ultimatum. In 3 years?! I just couldn't handle that. So I had to walk away. i'm single no kids happy, gonna retire when i want, you just made poor choices.

Sounds to me like the homeless population sees you as something called a "mark" Were you out of line? No but since you waited until you had a way out before poo poo talking everyone thinks you're a basic beta bitch. Hth crotch spawn 2016

Cursed Lumberjack posted:i cant speak for everyone but for the first thing, we both have jobs so we periodically get money from those jobs, and the amount we get gradually goes up as we get better at our jobs You're going to be in for a really nasty surprise if you honestly think your kids are going to take care of you rather than putting you in a home the second it gets too hard to care for you. Do you seriously think everyone living in homes is childless or something?

I get really weirded out when the CF types start talking about how superior their dogs are. It's all "My dog is obedient, and loving, and will die in a timeframe I find acceptable and convenient, heck I can even have it put down on a whim or just chuck it out a moving car at any time! Beat THAT breeders!". I mean, granted anyone who prides themselves on not breeding is probably some kind of autistic fuckup, but the ones who mythologise themselves for being Godking ubermensch because they achieved respect from an animal that will gleefully eat it's own poo poo, and is genetically engineered to worship you anyway, need to be put on some kind of watchlist.

I don't want any kids, but it's just because I never want to go through a pregnancy and I don't have the patience to deal with them. Not because of some bullshit humble-brag excuse about spending money, overpopulation or my genes.

Everything women do in the context of relationships/sex is part of some greater psychological game and I just want to fuckies so it's irreconcilable... The worst is that they pretend they want the same thing as you, doll themselves up and drive you nuts, but just want something for themselves that you don't want. I guess what I'm saying is I'm gay.
