A little food for thought.

A little food for thought.

We're one of a limited species that actually raises their young to such a late age.
Isn't it interesting? Many mammals and other animals of various type can be born and quickly begin to fend for themselves and yet human babies are soft, vulnerable and all together defenseless and yet our kind rule this entire planet, we could wipe out every species on earth and grow them back using our DNA banks if we so chose, it's almost hilarious.
I never want to be a parent, I am told it's a miracle but all it is to me is compromise, why have a child? We're grossly overpopulated in many areas already.
I can't say for certain it is written in our DNA but it certainly is pressured upon us by society, the perfect family is always a two spousal home with two or more children and yet I was raised by my mother and have only a half sibling whom I only recently met and yet my life can be at times better than those I've seen with many children.
It raises so many points, why marry? Why do I need an expensive ceremony to prove I love someone enough I'd want to be with them forever and only?
Why do I need to have kids? After I die, what will it matter? I will live my life for me and should I ever meet someone and not be so shy in real life, for them also but I never want kinds.

61. They're not necessary (at least not based on current human population)
62. They ruin flights, movies, television, and basically any situation that is good with silence

In the 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of me getting married, I would just sign the marriage papers. I'm not one to waste money on stupid shit like weddings....I find it stupid when you've got people spending like 40 grand on something that means very little...

And conversely:

64. Children are essentially treated as property by the very people who created them in the first place.

65. The moment you become a parent, you become a total a-hole.
I work in retail and this is a true story, a mother and daughter enter the store, the daughter is about 3-5 years old, somewhere in the store, the daughter picked up a big birthday bag, like mommy's shopping basket and proceeded to fill said bag with random stuff from the store.
My first thought was "oh, that's nice, the kid is helping her shop", I assumed the mother was telling the girl what to pick out and when she came to the front, the mother handed me the bag and said "oh, we aren't buying this, she was just playing shopping". The bag was large and full of items.
I wanted to slap the mom, hand her the bag and tell her to put it all back.
Don't become a parent.

66. You can't return a kid if they're not what you expected (if I buy a game or a movie, I can return it or sell it, not with a kid)

67. 18 + years of your life, gone.

not all parents become like this. I always make sure to put anything back that my daughter grabs.
