      He just wants Millennials to be the happy and proud parent Trump is of his children- Ivanka, Don Jr., Derek, Barron, and he doesn’t have any other daughters.

              You mean Derek? Donald’s third-favorite son he forgets about? Yes, Donald Trump is very aware of his third son who he knows is definitely named Derek.

      They’re so fucking stupid. If they wanted to keep making the ultra rich richer, they’d give all of us enough money to spend disposable income. But the current policies are coming to the inevitable late stage capitalism conclusion where none of us have enough money to continue propping them up.

    I’ve been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.

    Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.

      It’s because so many of these people hate their children and resent those kids for being alive. I have heard other parents talk about how much they wasted on kids bringing them up, and how much better they imagine their lives had they not had kids.

      They want other people saddled with this same burden and drag everyone down to their misery.

      It’s natural as a parent to think about life without kids, especially with how miserable it has become. Kids are seldom allowed to be kids. It’s all structured nonsense and constant trash like 20 games of little kid sports, which they don’t want to play. They want to sit inside and play electronics just like adults.

      Parents also spend hundreds of dollars on things like music lessons, and the kid gets bored because Minecraft genuinely is more fun for a kid. Then they get angry and hateful at the kid.

      I haven’t really seen that honestly, it’s pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don’t plan on it. No one really cares.

      I’ve seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.

      The only time I’ve ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people’s preogerative.

        I’ve seen kids at weddings. Hell, I’ve been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.

        Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where’s the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don’t run around. Don’t yell. Stop doing rude things. Don’t cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.

        Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.

          This is also why I hate weddings as an adult. They’re boring. Maybe I’d feel differently if it was my own wedding or if I was really emotionally invested in the couple or something.

            Weddings are different if you’re a close friend of the betrothed. Then it’s a party with all your friends and a bunch of people you tangentially know.

            Being a distant friend or cousin at those events sucks.

          A lot of times this is it. Adults want to get shitfaced, play songs with cuss words, and have fun.

          You can’t do that with your kids in tow and with other people’s kids around.

      Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can’t bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.

      JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.
