[AUTHOR'S NOTE] This bit was born out of an observation I've made in a few of my friends who don't have kids and are one or two decades older then me. They all seemed happier and were a lot less fat and stressed out all the time.
It was also born out of a silly conversation I had with my boss about not wanting to have kids because I didn't want to go to AYSO Youth Soccer Games.
I'm 26 and I'm at the age where I'm still allowed to be stupid and to go have fun. I'm allowed to go out and get high with friends and drink on the weekends and not be labeled as having a problem.
I feel like when you are in your 20s if you don't drink and get drunk every weekend then people think, "oh he has a problem." When you hit 30 and you are drinking and doing drugs thats when people start saying "oh he has a problem."
It's weird because if you aren't living life on the very edge in your 20s then people look at you weird but if you are doing those things into your 30s people think the other way.
But right now I'm in this weird period of my life where people are getting married and having kids. So I'm still allowed to have fun but I'm also allowed to ruin my life with kids, a house and a marriage.
If I were 16.17 or even 20 if I had a kid people would think there was something wrong with me. Of course if I was 16 with a kid I would also probably be dating someone named Brandi with an "I" or some other white trash name.
But now that I'm 26 and barely have my shit together I'm allowed to fuck up my life and some little babies in the process and have society say it is all ok.
I have a lot of friends who seem to be having kids and doing the whole domesticated thing and I think to myself, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?"
You are still in your 20s go make some mistakes. You finally are done being a poor college kid and might finally have a little money so why waste it on a bratty kid who is going to keep you up all night and have a house you can barely afford and/or will be moving out of in the next couple years.
I say you need to be mobile when you are in your 20s and especially in your late 20s. Flexibility is key here because you have the rest of your life to decide what is going to make you miserable. I mean don't get me wrong if I met that special person then I'd want them to be in my life 100%.
I get obsessed with the girls I date I want them to be there for all my experiences good or bad. That being said I wont compromise who I am for a woman they get the good and the bad parts no pretend.
I'm looking for a girl who will go to a Thai Brothel with me to see weird sex performed on stage. When you have kids it gets really questionable and awkward hiring a babysitter for that orgy you planned on attending.
For as long as I can remember I've thought to myself that I wanted kids. That was like the thing you do when you get older. However, as I get older I start to think maybe I don't really want them quite as much.
I worked with kids for 7-years professionally and was like wow this is great but what makes it even better is that they go home with their parents at the end of the day. I'd rather take a kid out on loan library style.
Check one out every now and again for like a month or two and then return it.
But the main reason I don't want to have kids is because I don't want to go to soccer games. As much as I loved/love playing soccer no American should be subjected to watching it.
Its fun to run around and kick a ball but to watch a game where someone only scores one or two times in 90 minutes is just not programmed in American males. Add to the fact that they are kids doing it and you are required to go once a week for like 12-weeks and you might as well start loading the gun.
I mean as a parent you probably hardly like your kids anyway they took your good lucks, they cost a shit ton to take care off and you don't have time to do anything that has any meaning to you. So why would you want to watch a small group of uncoordinated fucktards kick a ball around?
I for one don't want to,
The thing is. is I see these people with kids and they are just mean, angry, tired and overworked... they aren't super happy. Then I see my friends who are in their 30s and 40s who just avoided the process all together and they are happy jovial people with radiant skin and still have their good looks.
They go out have a good time and tell interesting stories. When you have kids you talk about taking them to the doctor and cleaning shit all the time from the mess they made.
So no thanks.
