Dad of the bleeping year right there. Hope his wife enjoys the money, cos I can't see any other perks of being married to him
So typical of men who marry a much younger wife, have more children (often when they're already grandfathers), and then expect her to just do all the work because "I'm too old now." I once saw a documentary about couples with a very large age difference and one was a woman in her early 20s married to a man in his 70s. He did absolutely nothing to take care of the baby; they were conservative Christians who believed God wants women to do all the housework and childcare by herself, and the wife excused it with "well men just didn't do that in his day." No, he's a parasiteWho writes in a national newspaper that they’re a weak minded idiot who has a child he didn’t want, foists his share of the care onto another woman and brags about how little he does with that child and around the house. He needs a PR person because I already didn’t like him and that article really hasn’t helped!
Yes, yes, a million times yes! I've worked with kids for 20 years, 10 of those as a childminder. That made me see how mindnumbingly boring being at home with kids could be, and how I cherished the time once they'd gone home... I couldn't imagine having to do nights and weekends with them as well!I'm new to these threads so apologies if it's already been discussed. Has working with kids made anyone even more sure in their childfree choice? It definitely did for me

Children have changed massively in the last 20 years too, when I started out, there wasn't half the behavioural/SEN issues that there are now.
Parenting changed a lot..100%.
The last part, I've heard others say the same! What's changed, do you think? Is it better awareness or are they actually getting more severe? I'm curious about it
Funny you say that because that's a huge motivating factor for not having kids - just how desperately wrong it can turn out, even if you do your best. That scares the tit out of me, there are enough messed up people about as isParenting changed a lot..
We can clearly see that Gen X and Millenials completely went off their rockers in the OPPOSITE when it comes to parenting, compensating for the poor parenting they received. Everyone is so scared to traumatize their children that they just stopped parenting their children completely.
Oh absolutely, it's one of my ( many ) reasons I don't have them also.Funny you say that because that's a huge motivating factor for not having kids - just how desperately wrong it can turn out, even if you do your best. That scares the tit out of me, there are enough messed up people about as is
