Normalize telling people who are older than you to go fuck themselves.

(Edit: I say that as a 40yo with a family. Young people giving me bad advice, I smile and hope they learn from it... I too had strong convictions that were wrong as I got older. I love you and I hope we can move into a better future. Old people giving me bad advice, fuck off boomer - you're the reason for a lot of this bullshit. Learn to stfu.)

    Because far too many people think women are only good for decoration and breeding.

    Or right after you have one they say "so when are you going to have another?" Whether you have 1 or 8.

    When ever the "free Bible lesson" people tell me that my partner and I should have kids at our age, I tell them "Fuck off. My partner has a medical condition thay increases their risk of a complicated and life threatening pregnancy, and since your group forced their religious beliefs about terminating a pregnancy on EVERYONE, we cannot responsibly and safely have children before we are too old."

    They think the planet needs more people on it, for some reason.

    You making a different choice than they did at your age must be ignorance. If it isn't, it's possible they may have made the wrong choice, and they couldn't possibly be wrong. That might cause introspection/pain/crisis/fear.

    I used to say this jokingly to poke fun at Mayan apocalypse/other things but with the weather and climate change and the temperature rising faster than almost anyone expected... The apocalypse is nigh

    These comments are all talking about whether it's good advice or not.

    The core issue is offering unsolicited advice on a matter that is deeply personal and that is none of anyone else's fucking business. Forget about whether or not this person should or shouldn't have kids. No one needs to be telling anyone else what they ought to do about topics on which they cannot possibly have the proper context to offer such advice.

    I would love to have children to be honest but I can't afford it.

    Having children is free, the raising them part is where they get you.

    I have a child and it's the best thing that ever happened to me, but I totally understand because children are expensive. If you think it costs a lot to feed your dog, imagine having to pay a premium on that to feed them on top of paying for diapers and that's just for the first couple of years.

    Don't have kids if you can't afford to give them a decent life.
