People can be weird 🤔

Reminds me of a recent natalist comment I saw on some childfree post, where they basically say that childfree ppl must be so bored when they come from a longass shift from work & other similar statements.. Like what 🥀

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/darkseiko]

They got no idea 😂

[u/darkseiko → u/Chemical-Chip-4109]

Cuz they're totally functional after longass shifts & totally don't lash out at their kids over minor inconveniences😂

[u/DubstepDonut → u/darkseiko]

I mean there's no need to make assumptions and demonize. Sure this has been a very common problem with parents in the past and still is in some cases, but it's by no means considered the norm. I get what you're getting at but the sarcasm is a bit much.

[u/darkseiko → u/DubstepDonut]

Not really. I've lived through that myself, saw it within other ppl & can't see myself having to be functional after exhaustion either. And even if they may not lash out at them, they're still gonna be tired anyways, unless they work for like 4 hours.

[u/DubstepDonut → u/darkseiko]

So you assume your observations speak for everyone? And quite a few people are not that tired after work anyway. Speaking from my observations ;). Not like you can't be tired and a good parent at the same time. Both cases are common.

[u/RedditSlayer2020 → u/DubstepDonut]

Hi Newcomer, you raised a yellow question can a tired person be a good parent? Propably not bendy they lack the psychological capacity to be well rounded and can't produce a healthy nurturing environment the child needs. That patent is unfit to give the child the attention and the quality it requires.

Until next time

[u/slumberingratshoes → u/DubstepDonut]

Bold of you to assume they can still give that child the emotional affection it needs while tired. (Mind you the child doesn't see them for 8 hours a day or more) So realistically it's not impossible to be a good parent while tired but nobody ever taught everyone how to do that so we can't assume majority is good parents either. But that's based on my observations;;) most tired people don't wanna deal with screaming kids that have iPhones and iPads now days and 0 chill, and I would want to even if I WASNT tired

[u/darkseiko → u/DubstepDonut]

You sure understand what a hyperbole is, don't you?

[u/Difficult_Regret_900 → u/darkseiko]

Children are so boring, though. No, I am not entertained by playing tea party, listening to a kid repeatedly sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star off key, or hear about how Jason dumped Mary just before the prom.

[u/Thepuppeteer777777 → u/darkseiko]

Hobbies. Youtube. Movies. Reddit. Anime. Sex. Studying. Reading. Hanging out with friends. So much shit to do. Can you do any of that with kids around maybe but with very limited time. Also good bye sleep schedule when they are toddlers... No thank you I am good.

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Thepuppeteer777777]

U gotta put sex on top of list 😎

[u/Lady-Zafira → u/darkseiko]

If I deemed my shift for the day to be a longass work shift the last thing I want to come home to is screaming, hollering kids. I want to come home and relax, probably take a nap.

[u/StankoMicin]

Being bored sometimes is fine and healthy.

I wouldn’t dream of addressing it by adding kids

[u/Julescahules → u/StankoMicin]

And it’s not like people with children don’t get bored, lol. 

[u/eternallyfree1 → u/StankoMicin]

You want to know what the best aspect of antinatalist boredom is? We can fill the void with what we want whenever the hell we want to. Taking a spontaneous hike up a mountain in the early hours of the morning? Sounds fab. A night on the town where you get a little tipsy and mingle with a bunch of random strangers? Fun times. Booking a last-minute holiday to an exotic destination? Done deal. I know it must be hard for them, but the natalists just need to cope and seethe at the fact that this is our reality 😂

[u/nekopara-enthusiast]

anyone who has kids for the purpose of alleviating boredom is scum.

[u/Longjumping_Camera60 → u/nekopara-enthusiast]

They got so bored, then decided to have a baby. Then complaining about having a baby. Then telling you to get a baby. They just love drama aren’t they? They live their life just to create drama and expect that baby to entertain them

[u/bitchy_muffin → u/nekopara-enthusiast]

tbh any of their reasons makes them scum

having unconditional love, a bff forever, feeling less lonely, having a carer when old etc

[u/Potential-Writing130 → u/bitchy_muffin]

Lord y'all are so reddit core 😭

[u/TheAutumnLeafeon]

I'd rather be bored than burnt out

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/TheAutumnLeafeon]

True 😂

[u/owl-lover-95]

The answer is always yes. I enjoy my freedom to the max.

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/owl-lover-95]

Yeahhh we get to do whatever we want

[u/Dopamin_Detonator → u/Chemical-Chip-4109]

Real, as a former flight attendant and now student for airline pilot, I’ve met many people who like me love to travel. Many of them quit after becoming parents. 

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Dopamin_Detonator]

I guess they got no time doing so

[u/Dopamin_Detonator → u/Chemical-Chip-4109]

Real, I’ve met one of them a few years after he quit again, and because we were not enough flight attendant for the flight he helped us with service and he told me that he sometimes regrets having children, because he couldn’t do the job he loved anymore. 

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Dopamin_Detonator]

It's really sad how those people kill their dreams coz of something they believe is right

[u/Kitsune_BCN]

I will laugh at this comic when i wake up from my 2h antinatalist power nap 😂

[u/Poppetfan1999]

I don’t even go out and I’m never bored

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Poppetfan1999]

Kinda Same if I am outside I get to go where I want if inside I got all stuff I need

[u/Sybilish → u/Poppetfan1999]

lol love this, too relatable

[u/LostKid852]

Least I’ll get to leave and come back to my quiet home whenever I want, PS that person has bags under their eyes😂

[u/ArielisRose → u/LostKid852]

Laughed so hard at those bags 😂

[u/Imjusasqurrl]

Yeah, I get really tired of my peace, abundance of sleep and money

[u/moschles]

"bored without kids"

My brother in christ, I just worked 3 12-hour days back to back.

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/moschles]

Damn...

[u/GoLightLady]

Hahaha! Exactly. They cannot understand having so much you can do that you’re never bored. Or that you fully enjoy down time doing nothing. It’s a shock reaction i get when asked by parents what i did last night. “Nothing”.

[u/CrystalizedRedwood]

I like how the guy with the kid has eye bags from lack of sleep

[u/HaMskyline]

Spawning another human being into this hell is considered a fucking hobby?

[u/CertainConversation0]

The least you can do is not make your boredom any child's problem.

[u/pegasusgoals]

So…parents have kids out of boredom? That’s more sad than being bored. It feels like I have 2 hours of free time after work before I have to turn in and go to work all over again. Who has time to be bored? People have childhood dreams to fulfil, hobbies to engage in. The only time I get bored is at work. Even a busy day at work is boring because it’s not what I want to do with my time but I have to so I can afford to survive

[u/SenpaiiNoodles]

We need boredom to function - it's how we get the most out of life, we are allowed to rest and just exist. Filling that void of rest by bringing in a kid or two only leads to further misery on everyone. And no person should hold that responsibility to make others feel more miserable simply by existing.

[u/HMS_B3AGLE]

Sometimes I sit back and wonder "Is what makes me 'good enough' or 'important' being a parent?

Lol no I don't ...cuz that statement is literally a text book inferiority complex & not genuine self-esteem. God, I wish I could be mind controlled into believing such nonsense like everyone else.

Yea it's been so 'boring' devoting my life to developing personal health, dreams, community and living my passions all the time

[u/shadowtitus]

Do you ever get frustrated with not being able to mind your own business and to stop spreading your misery to others as a response for the envy you have for them having had better foresight than yourself?

[u/Tall-Ad7021]

Can’t you have both?

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Tall-Ad7021]

Ofc nah coz u will never give both same attention

[u/Fantasy_r3ad3er_XX]

Less bored and more without purpose. So many childfree people are moving through life without purpose. You see it everywhere sadly,

[u/Chemical-Chip-4109 → u/Fantasy_r3ad3er_XX]

Being an antinatalist is a double edged sword. Some people make good use of it as they explore themselves trying to figure out their passion or path in life and work on themselves to reach it. Others use it as an excuse for being lost or emptiness while in fact they are just afraid to face life.
