    And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

      Excuse me, you may possess as many children as you can find and run away with

      Fertility got shit to do with that, it’s all about legs.

    I bought an Archie comic recently and it was bitter and sad.

    Like entire comics about how older bands were better and kids are wrong kind of thing.

    I genuinely think that’s still how the writers see the world and it’s not just a tweet.

        As someone whose girlfriend watched the Riverdale show and talked a lot about the story lines and characters, I cannot advise enough against checking it out. Unless you enjoy train wrecks. Then you should absolutely check it out.

          Of course I enjoy train wrecks. That’s why I play Derail Valley. Oh, you don’t mean literal train wrecks, do you?

    Thank fuck lots of my friends are childfree like us, and most of the others still make room for having a life outside of kids.

    My parents made the super smart move to move to a future proof house.

    I grew up in SO many different neighborhoods, it doesn’t matter at all.

    And I’m not getting old damnit!

      A bunch of my friends had kids and now they only hang out with other parents.

      We’re not like asking to go clubbing, but our D&D group died off. We used to do online gaming but it’d impossible to schedule with parents. Stuff like that.

      And I mean, life happens, it’s okay, I don’t mind hanging out with their kids around. I just want a bit more of their slice of the life pie, but it’s hard to compete with hanging out while someone else’s kids entertain your kids.

        This is a temporary period, kids can start entertaining themselves more usually by 7 or 8 years old, and they can start doing all day or overnight play dates, which frees up a lot of time for parents to reengage

      Yes ….but your coworkers will probably come to you and ask you about things like fax machines. 🥲
