    That’s twice as many days as you need to visit there in your life. Tuscany is the correct answer on where you visit in Italy.
    Rome is awesome.... especially the Coliseum!
    A truly traveled man, you must be.

    No one can fucking afford kids

    I can, but Im selfish and dont want to take care of them.

    Nice thing about that is I can change my mind at any time and still have a bastard or three.

    Women? Not so much

    Era of the robots is upon us anyways

    That whole dudes can't carry babies getting in your way? thing getting in your way?
    Nah, dont want to waste time and money that could be spent on traveling and other things

    People that have kids lives need to revolve around their kids

    Only 25% do that
    If I didn't have kids, I'd have no one to argue and fight with, so my life would be boring AF. Travel is a pain in the ass anymore, I hate Europeans anyway, and Mexico and Canada are off limits to me for Vaccine proof (CA) and Cartels (MX).

    If you're way into hobbies or yourself, DO NOT HAVE KIDS. You'll be the worst sports parent in the world as you'll live vicariously through your kids and everyone in your community will hate you.

    I am really into hobbies and spend a ton of time on them

    I'm early 30s though so like I said, plenty of time to whelp some pups.

    If I'm going to be a parent, I want to be a GOOD parent which requires an insane amount of discipline and time.

    I do think you're a little off base with Mehico though. Cartels need the place to be tourist friendly.
    The longer you wait to have kids, the harder it's going to be raising then. 60 year old dad at high school graduation is not where you want to be in life.

    Also, I've been told second-hand by Americans living in places like Cabo that traveling to MX with kids is a bad idea, even just visiting the resort towns. Kidnapping has become a major problem and you now have cartels, depending on who may be a passenger on the plane with you, shooting at commercial airliners.

    No kids yet, I want them, am a little sad that the odds of beating them 1on1 in basketball diminishes every year I wait.

    But also understand I'm still incredibly selfish. My Rolex collection would disappear over night. I'm a materialistic whore, it is what it is.

    We waited until we were firmly established to have kids. I wish we would have started sooner. Do it as young as you can (within reason) is my advice.

    After you have one let me know if your stance on abortion changes.

    Met the right woman later than optimal but we both wanted children. Maybe when you’re a bit more mature you appreciate the time you’re going to have just a little more because it is shortened. I’d love to have had 10 more years under the belt at this point.

    Some of the best advice I got from some older friends was to not wait to start my family too late(even though I could as a man).

    Having your 2nd-3rd in your 40's and having to get up several times a night hits way harder than your 30's.

    Plus, being a younger fun dad vs. Older boring dad is definitely a thing once they get to the fun ages.

    Just make sure you find a wife with decent family values and cover your assets before getting married so there's no monetary incentive to leave you. YMMV by state but even a pre-nup is not enough.

    I should qualify my anti-European sentiments to exclude Italy, with it's new, non-woke prime minister. And Rome and shit.

    There's really nothing available.

    I split the deference and took the halfway grown option. Never really wanted kids

    Gotta say now though its nice to have a grand kid and nice to have the son nearby just in case. Mom will be taken care of

    A spouse will never get you to change your ways.

    But a kid will. They're deadly at it.

    You are a dumb fuck

    I actually bring sources to the conversation. Like Turkish drones being built and used in Ukraine, when you said Turkey wasnt involved in the war effort and was leaving NATO.

    You also cant keep the Ukraine aids in the Ukraine thread.

    Hope this helps

    We started late and only after a lot of thought. Greatest decision we ever made. Being more mature doesn't necessarily equate to boring. You just need to remind yourself that everything you're doing with them creates their memories.

    The only downfall I see to having children later is the amount of years you get with them will be shortened, if you live to your expected expiration date or don't step in front of a bus because you didn't see/hear it coming. They're headed far out of state to college in the fall. I want the time to go as slowly as possible.

    By the way, in your 50 pages of rants, go ahead and link where I said Turkey wasn't involved in the war effort. They cash the checks. Big fucking deal.

    I said Erdogen was re-thinking involvement in NATO and a US humanitarian group pulled their plans to go to Turkey, dipshit.

    Sorry you don't make enough money to have kids and maintain a narcissistic lifestyle.
