Not going to lie, I miss have extra money to spend but "motherly love quote" or "some shit here"
whencatsattack64
Love how parents posting pics with rooms full of gifts, "I spoil them, teehee" is OK, but your post isn't.
TheMightyMoto
neat?
dunersrevenge
As someone who wishes to have kids, but can’t fuck them haters. If they’re so butthurt maybe they should’ve used a condom.
veritasgear
Your first mistake was being on facebook...
EmanonInverse
Mombies is my new favorite word, thank you.
notasanonymousasimighthope
People with kids are literally in the grip of hormones that make them stupid.
MarilynKerr1
For a boatload of genetic fears, I chose to not have kids. I quickly learned where not to share that unless I wanted to handle the venom.
Tentrees
As if by choosing to not make more miserable genetically unhealthy humans, you are somehow insulting other people's kids.
LegitReason
I don't get it. WHY were people upset by this?
masonmouse
Because OP was being a troll?
automaticallymoderated
Braggarts are annoying. Equating parenthood to being unable to have or do nice things is rude. Even if it is usually true.
SeeMcSee
As a parent, have a spare controller with no battery pack in for child, continue gaming.
JadeIsABurd
My brother did this when his kids didnt quite understand how to ‘play’ videogames. They absolutely loved it. Now they play with their dad.
SeeMcSee
We do this with our 2.5 year old, he also loves it!
TheRealMramius
As a parent of five, who gives a fuck! If your happy, I'm happy!
eastcoastninja
Right? This is how it should be
SilentScreamsX
I have a kid and still play plenty of games. I don't understand why people think one rules out the other.
lostconfusedandeasilydistractedheylookapenny
same. i have a uterus goblin and plenty of game systems that she plays. someday she might best us at mariokart lmao
snoogans671
I agree. And when mine is old enough, she can play the games with me. For now she just holds an unplugged controller and laughs
skylark28
As a parent, I wouldn't change anything. But people going apesh*t over your post need help.
Smigions
Simple, don’t have kids if you can’t afford them. Wrap it up. Don’t hate on the DINKs just cause you have kids you can’t afford.
txtmylife
Hey, as a parent, I've done such a good job that neither of my kids want kids. They have great jobs, money, they game, and they travel a lot
infectiousgigglezombie
Awesome! My mom thinks I’m not doing my “duty” by not providing grandkids for her.
TehBox0rz
Ahah, I’m not jealous of the money thing, but man do I miss the mid-afternoon childfree gaming binges
eadanke
I miss skipping sleep to play for a few days without the risk of killing little people.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yeah, it's the alone time that I miss the most. But as they get older, they become more independent and you get some of that back.
timeloveandyarn
My husband demanded we have a child and now refuses to have anything to do with said child's care. I WISH I was childfree this Christmas.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I refused to have kids unless my husband took 50% of the responsibility. Including taking time off work for Dr appts, sickness, etc. No /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
way I'm working fulltime and taking all of that on myself. Sounds like you need to have a serious talk with him about how it's not /2

got home I had to do laundry and cook dinner. It's only gone downhill from there. And now he gets mad at me for being depressed and "mopey"
Cthulily
When I tell parents I don't want kids, they'll tell me they love their kids but it's a good option to be child free.
MmmCookiePoops
Probably the same people who call you selfish for not making it a priority to have kids.
princessvaliant
I’m a female. Over Thanksgiving my uncle said I “didn’t look like a breeder.”
MmmCookiePoops
Well thats fucking rude lol. Everyone has that uncle I guess.
DesertLeporid
Like a dog breeder? Or like a dog yourself? Awful. Sorry about that. I still get comments like that, after a while they just get hilarious.
CabanaBoy3
Harsh. Some people choose not to have kids. For others, nature decides to not let them have kids.
CabanaBoy3
And I don't mean OP was harsh. The reaction to his post was harsh. So what if he found a different path?
fearcandy
She.* Agreed!
Eightbitspartan
And we're just assuming their post was innocent? Probably more than one side to this story.
Qualtagh
Sounds like trolling to me
Account01
Yeah, it sounds condescending. There is pretty much zero reason to state they're a childless couple on a 'look at our xmas haul' post.
fearcandy
They aren't childless, they're childfree. and what's wrong with a childfree couple sharing what they got for Christmas with a gaming group??
Account01
Nothing wrong with sharing. Throwing in the childfree? Condescending and antagonistic. Not remotely relevant to the share.
imdisneyprincess
You can share without making a point that it's only possible because you have no kids.
UnbreakableDNice
Because gaming equipment is related to how much money you have, not how many kids.
abbycrochetnerd
As a parent I think it's great for childless people to enjoy themselves. Let the mombies hate.
fearcandy
childfree and childless* :)
IndubitablyEnglish
Difference?
YourCrazyEx
Childfree implies conscious choice. Childless is generally not for lack of trying (i.e. infertility, child loss, miscarriage)
BlueElephant92
wait, how comes that so many militant moms are in a gaming group?
FelixTheAnimator
'Cause modern moms game instead of watching soap operas like our mothers?
bookslap
For real, though. My FFXIV free company was like 1/3 bored moms and housewives.
Shayceror
Am bored housewife. You reminded me I should work on a sidequest, thanks.
Zaranthan
They're FB moms. They just click follow on everything they see.
Comet260
I'm so glad I don't have anything to do with FB.
BolenArrow
Their kid is in the group to make sure it is safe for their sweet Timmy. It must be them that taught him his bad manners and lead him to >>

those dirty websites.

They could also be this couple two kids later:

Because it's a made up story.
Beartornado
You think someone would do that? Lie on the internet?
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
No stories actually happen. It's all lies.
Geo80
Nothing at all ever happens. Existence is a lie.
halborski
This is true, except it can't be.
imnotarealgiraffe
I feel like specifying childfree is like specifying girl gamer...why are they not just a gaming couple?? Weird yo
fearcandy
Probably a lot of parents in the group.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yeah. They did it on purpose hoping for those responses.
THEREALSTEVEHOLT
As a mid 30s couple with no kids, it's the best.
imdisneyprincess
As a mid 30s couple with kids and still gaming together with them, it's the best too!

It's almost one in the afternoon and I'm still in bed. It really is the best.

Seriously being a DINK is the beeeeest.

You will change your mind when it is too late, and you suddenly give no shits about stuff. Life Wasted!
Jaywire
Speak for yourself. I’ll decide if I want the responsibility and the sacrifice, not society.

Having kids doesn't "unwaste" your life. Personally I got bored of the DINK lifestyle and was ready for something new, but that doesn't /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde

level shouldn't do it. It's really fucken hard. You have to want it. /3
threeblackkittens
The regret rate for people who choose to permanently remain childfree is much lower than the rate of regret for people who become parents.

Cool, them datas be good to see... dont make shit up
threeblackkittens
The rate of regret for women who get sterilized without having kids according to a CREST study is only 7%. These are women who were 1/
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's probably because society steers people toward unthinkingly having kids. Also because you can accidentally have kids. It's tough to /1

I wouldn't trade fatherhood for anything. I miss games but when she's older I'll get to show her the classics etc

That's exactly how I feel I'm the only one in my friends group with kids and I don't feel jealous of them having money and things I just 1/?
lurkerlord793
Love seeing my kids, the way their eyes light up when they see me, the way that I am their hero and to them i can do anything and more 2/?
lurkerlord793
Half the comments on here are "they are jealous, trust me" and that's parents I can't be jealous as I'm the father of my kids no matter 3/?
Mentok
You have to be ready for the change, if you aren't, don't have kids.
lurkerlord793
What my kids are my kids and I love them that even if they weren't planned I'm not getting jealous over the new game or not going out as 4/?

As a parent, I'd rather have no kids and three money.

VagisilToothpaste
So legit, non-condescending question...if you'd rather have no kids and money - why did you have kids at all?
RedIronCrown
Kids aren't always planned. Or sometimes people have a change of heart, parenthood in theory is different from the practice.
malikcarr
On the balance, having kids is a good idea. This is like the ultimate "your mileage may vary" statement though.
VagisilToothpaste
...how is it ever a good idea? I can't even.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
As if every person knows they are going to regret a decision before they make it. Like asking a divorced person why they got married...
thedudethatdidthatstuff
You never know unless you try.
shutupfland3rs
No kids, no monies here. Guessing folks pressure; past generations had kids JUST because! Religious birth control/abortion values?
shutupfland3rs
No one is out here reporting all the dang pictures of families in matching sweaters or all the gifts they got their kids plastered all over!
MamaSchatzy
As a parent myself.... they are all just jealous that you have free time and money. For real lol
tajashal
As a parent... I'm not sure where the no money trope comes from? Between child benefits and rental assistance, I'm doing better than before.

to rub it in the noses of people with kids? i don't have kids, but i don't walk around bragging about it. seems pretty dumb to me...

As a non-parent, I don't see why people get jealous at others for not having made the same decisions as then.
chylde
Ya it’s stupid as shit. We chose to have kids but I don’t give a flying fuck if other people don’t. You do you.
NaughtButOne
Probably because it's a reminder of what their lives could have been if they didn't let cooter gremlins destroy any hope of happiness.
Angypie
Imo it's more that what actually happens is very much not what any parent ever *thought* would happen. No takesy-backsies either.

Because parents were lied to all their lives, had kids thinking it would be wonderful, and now hate anyone who gets to sleep in on weekends

Don't buy a laptop. Get yourself a desktop - it will be cheaper or it will have better hardware, and upgradable to boot.

A desktop isn’t the best solution for everyone.
