Greatest thread ever. I laughed twice and only read the first couple of pages.
"Having 1 kid is like having 10 dogs or 20 cats. Think about it."
priceless

you don't have to do anything to take care of a cat except clean the litter box every now and then and put food out. i would say 200 cats would be equivalent.
Cat Break!
just kidding.

I find it humorous that, here in the real world, where evolution has driven life for millions of years to reproduce, and instill the drives and so forth and so on to do that, and to provide all sorts of rewards for the process - from the endorphin rush of falling in love and sex, to the slow gentle satisfaction of relative monogomy and the joys of watching your kids grow up.
That a bunch of douchetards think they're special snowflakes because they "choose" not to reproduce.
Hate to tell you this folks, but that's the way this life thing works on the grand scale. Ever watch the nature channel? All the Alpha big boys have little one running around. All the losers don't. The ones that reproduce? See the very functions of life reward them.
For 99% of all human history, you reproduced and you got rewarded. Just because Western Civilization is so fucked at the moment that you think you're making some amazing "lifestyle choice" by not reproducing, well that just point out how fucked up it is, and you are for expending the intellectual justification to not want to reproduce.
From an evolutionary point of view you're thew one choosing, not us with the offspring. You're choosing to be childless. And guess what, if you're not producing the offspring than society has to find some use for your sorry lightweight asses...and oh yeah, it's to work a bit harder to make up for your "choice".
So if I get to go home early so I can watch my daughter chew on a rubber giraffe, well, I've earned that shit.
So, you guys are choosing, in the game of life as set by evolution itself, to basically lose and you're bitching about it.
Man up.
- wtf, u're saying u're a special snowflake that should go home early cuz u've got a daughter?Milan
- Oh, we've evolved past whatever you're watching on the nature channel.nb
- having kids destroys the planet, wastes oil, which will run out and they'll all starve. Wasted effort.Pupsipu

just tell them you have other commitments after 5pm? i don't see the problem
- studderine0
yeah working more than 40 hours always means you make more money, right? hahahah.
- prophet0
stevejobs has a point. just say you have prior commitments to friends/family if you don't want to pull the overtime...
- It's the simplest and easiest way of dealing with it.Continuity
- The point is that some people accept "my kids" as an excuse, but not other excuses.nb
- then you say I need to take my mom/sister/dad somewhere. or a family function.prophet
- will the boss say sorry call your mom and cancel her doc appt? or no family function for you?..prophet

Does the sanctimony kick in on birthing day, or does it take time to manifest?
- actually happens during the birthing process oxytocin is expelled from the spine into the bloodstream... i thinkneowe

What do you childless people think we were doing before we had kids? We were working nights and weekends. The entitlement generation drives me nuts, you want what everyone else has but you don't want to pay any dues for it. If it'll make you feel better work really hard on nights and weekends for about 15 years, then start a family and buy a house. Then when you walk into your office one day and see that kid half your age who's disgruntled because he has to work nights and weekends and you get to spend time with your family, you can promote him into your position and you can quit your job, because that would be the fair thing to do.
I guess ultimately the OP is saying that life isn't fair. WELL WELCOME TO THE WORLD! Oh, and you say you have to work weekends and nights, WELL WELCOME TO GRAPHIC DESIGN AND ADVERTISING!
I would venture a guess that every person on this forum and beyond is trying to figure a way to work less and make more. That's the holy grail. So stop your whining and get in line because we're all in the same boat.
Also, I have 2 children. You think you're working hard, but I can tell you you are not, but you will not understand this until you have your own kids.

I don't think anyone here blatantly said they had "chosen" to never have children, to never reproduce. I, in fact, would love to move on to that stage of my life, naturally, but I'm just not there yet. It's not like tomorrow I can just "choose" to have children. Additionally, these life changes are sometimes forced upon people as well, robbing them of the choices they would normally have made. I'm not sure where I was going with this, but I thought we had a pretty good debate at one point, and then it got sorta ugly. Well, carry on...and TBO, mad respect for taking care of another life.

some people choose to work nights and weekends, others don't, kids don't have shit to do with it.
