    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

    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

    I managed and would never trade it for anything. We traveled quite a bit. Worked my ass off to do it as well. Kids are happy, healthy well adjusted Americans. You didn't do your part but yours would have probably been fighting for Ukraine and dead.

    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.

    Not until they're old enough where you have to attend their sports stuff.

    Get your wife to quit her career and then live near in-laws and you can milk out the partying for quite a long time.

    Traveling, yeah that one is a bitch though.

    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.

    We traveled with the kids by RV. Had a fantastic time. Saw a lot of the USA. National parks lots of long weekends camping and fishing etc. with friends. Those trips are the best memories from their childhood. Also did 16 days in Europe. 4 days in Rome and a 12 day cruise. Whole family went 3 generations. Time of our lives.

    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.

    Hey man, great for you.

    Driving to family cabin on Harstine Island felt like The Last of Us trip with a 3 and 1 year old.

    I have family there. Visited my families house again. I've been before. My family has lived on that hill for hundreds of years. That house was built in 1812. Family chapel across the street is 400 years old. Maybe more. The hill is named for our family. We had a family reunion. Mass at our family church. It was a very good time. Private tour of the Vatican museum. We sat alone in the Sistine chapel. Our private guide and guard let us take photos but no flash.

    Visited Tuscany too. Plus others.

    Life without kids would suck. They are life.

    We had a guide and didn't have to wait in line which was damn long. Book a private Vatican museum tour. You show up when it closes and you get your own guide. It's shorter and just the big stuff but that was fantastic.

    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.

    This explains your nonsense in the Ukraine thread. You've experienced jack shit in your life and have no historical perspective like the Throbber and Uncle @RaceBannon

    Putin bad/Zelensky good. Google say so.

    Fuck off.

    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.
