Most people don’t get a chance to do those things.
Wake up, commute while sending off kids, work dreadful shit, collect kids, shop, make dinner, relax15 minutes, pass out, repeat.
Well, if one has such a miserable worker-bee-life, why the heck would one want to make it even worse with kids? And what future would that one give his/her kids? The same bright one?
We all make our own beds, don’t we?
Believe it or not, kids bring joy to an otherwise bland life. As for the kids’ future, you can do a lot with a little, just spending what little time you have at the end of the day w/ your kids can help them surpass where you were able to get to.

Bland life without kids? Absolutely not. I do everything i love with the person i love the whole day. We travel a lot, whenever we desire to. Sometimes just a spontaneous trip to who-the-fuck-cares for however long we want. Do that with kids. No thanks. We don’t even want the responsibility of a pet. Just costs time and money we rather spend on ourselves.
Having to wrap my life all around one single tiny human…ohgod no. THAT i would call a bland life. Maybe even while working some job? I wouldn’t find the time for that now, let alone when i would be forced to work too.
Glad it turned out well for you, but in tendency kids of poorer upbringing remain poor or at least have it way harder. But that’s not the point. It was just about my lack of willingness to be slave to a tiny human for at least 18yrs of MY life.
PS: don’t get me wrong. If you have to have a child for whatever reason, the love and care surely outweighs its monetary safety.
Though, depending on where one lives, said lacking monetary safety can become a sad regret in a worst case. I, totally personally, wouldn’t gamble on that.

Except. bank holiday comes 6 times a year. Cheers.
Yes, I’d like to see this list with four home school kids lol
It’s like going to battle, and in war, the enemy also makes plans!
And to quote Mike, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
