I can spin that the other way around saying: What's the point of having kids when you can spend the extra money on yourself and your SO? The money and time spent on the kid would be better spent on pursuing your hobbies, passions, and ambitions.

yes i agree but saying people with kids are less happy than people without kids is insulting and being a prick.

In the end, you can't take anything with you. We all die alone. There is no point to anything, except enjoying what time we have. That is *it*. I don't plan on squandering that wiping poopy butts and driving to soccer practice.

It's sad that quoting a result from a peer reviewed journal is considered "being a prick".

That's a case-by-case basis. I get frustrated when people tell me that I'll be happier with a kid. I don't want a kid.

you guys are all some really, really unhappy people. why don't you have a kid or something. or garner a lot of money, either way.

it's really funny watching people create "logical" and "scientific" reasoning for things after being inspired by personal experience and emotional investment to do so.

I don't know if that statement is more sexist, or stupid.

I never have understood when people say that "we die alone" saying.

Degenerate Alcoholics with no discernible family die alone, my parents won't die alone but with my hand in there's.

Have you even read what you typed? You talk about spending money on "YOUR" hobbies, "YOUR" passions, "YOUR" ambitions. With a mindset like that you truly will die alone.

Can't we all agree that some people want kids, some people don't, and some people that have kids shouldn't?
