While not everyone should have kids and I fully support people choosing not to have any…
You can have this and have kids. Just not every day. Unless you’re stupid wealthy and have a nanny or something.
But maybe I’m weird and am one of the few that actually like my kids and having them around. Sure, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but not so much that I want to escape them or anything.
How rich are you that you can have a kid for breakfast every day?
In this economy? Gotta be a billionaire at least.
Gotta be rich enough to run for public office, at least
Damn. Lol.
If you’re stupidly wealthy to have this daily? Kids are irrelevant.
Reality is, people chronically online are incapable of raising a child because the reality is, they can’t imagine caring for someone other than themselves.
Having a child to share your hobbies is awesome. You ever needed a coop buddy? They got you covered for years and years!
The people with this sentiment are largely jaded women who skipped kids and have to cope themselves and the next generation into sharing their spinster misery. It’s a tale as old as time lol. It’s this very weird phenomenon specifically with women to want to spread their misery to other women. It’s a hyper competitive behavior that seems to peak in their 40s/50s
Eating a multi course breakfast like this in bed would be both gross and inconvenient, let’s not lie to ourselves.
It’s like using your laptop poolside. Seems cool but actually sucks ass.
Yep, the idea is far better than the reality.
Enjoy your breakfast in bed, sweetie. Then get the hell up so I can wash the sheets, because crumbs in the bed is absolutely nasty.
I put those puppies training pads in my bed so I can catch the syrup I drip and that sticks to my fingers after.
I’m okay with croissant crumbs on my pillow, it detracts from the feeling of my eye boogers.
People like you should be culled.
I can’t tell if the food is on the bed or on a table in front of the bed.
It looks like the room service cart is parked at the foot of the bed.
One thing that no one ever told me about being a parent was that it would be so much fun. Getting to be the one who introduces another human to everything doesn’t get old. Is it challenging? Of course, but everything in life has pros and cons. The bond I have with the little ones is something I’d never give up and life before was easy-mode. You do have to grow beyond being selfish though. Some people can’t (and that’s okay, they shouldn’t be parents). That’s what this picture makes me think.
IMO: the reason I don’t want kids is because I can’t imagine myself saying: “Now, after a long day of work at my full-time job, I can’t wait to get home to my other, unpaid caretaker full-time job.” IMO being a good parent is hard work and I if I were to be a parent, I want to do it properly.
I respect parents, it’s just not the lifestyle for me.
Yeah, I tell my kids all the time that without winter, summer just isn’t as enjoyable, and that even in late August and early September I’ll say, you know what, I’m ready to change it up. I don’t have this expectation of perfection from any facet of life, including my kids and the relationship I have with them. The bads and the goods are all part of the experience, and to me the experience is rewarding.
But I absolutely don’t fault someone for wanting perpetual summer. Summer is great.
Yea I’m sitting here thinking I’d love for my kid to go all Kevin Mccallister on this and just watch how excited they’d be.
Aww :)
Every time I see one of these posts, it reads like ‘I can’t have kids because that would get in the way of my wanking and smoking pot time’ I mean, it is all good but it’s never ‘my job is very demanding and it would stop me from being able to parent’ or something.
You forgot about “I’m not willing to feed capitalism more slaves”
Ecofascists love this line.
I’m willing to feed the revolution more fighters though
These posts are about having your freedom. That freedom includes careers, ambitions, sometimes luxury vacations. It’s also about how expensive it is to have & raise children. If I had children I would end up just like my neighbors, getting high the minute the kids are in bed and eating shit food. What a horrible life.
What is a horrible life? Being a parent?
The horrible life is being a shit parent. If you cannot handle children, don’t have them. No one needs a parent with a drug problem.
Ah, that makes sense.
I guess choosing to have a horrible life, it might be a mindset. I know parents that dread hanging out with their kids and leave them behind with grandma as often as they can to go to like fancy dinners or events. Maybe unplanned pregnancy before discussing things like that with your partner can lead to this kind of feeling of being stuck in life.
For us we go to events or dinners that we think our kid would enjoy. Like we recently went to Vegas and our kid loves buses and trains so we took the trams around and had a blast. It was the funnest trip to Vegas I’ve had and it was because different aspects if it became fun. The other part of it is enjoying a bunch of stuff over again that you liked as a kid. Tons of nostalgia, coming across old books I used to read but completely forgot about etc.
You sound like a brilliant parent, and you really nailed it on the nostalgia stuff. I have no idea why someone downvoted you, some people are very bitter about stuff.
Have kids. I’ve gone and raced in 2 lemons races this year with 2 more to follow as well as well have a few trips with the family. My wife has a Noah khan concert coming up and a Boston trip later this year.
Kids changed things but I assure everyone, I probably have a more active and fun life than most the depressed doom scrollers on here without the kids 🤷♂️
The kids aren’t even that expensive once you get past daycare compared to a mortgage 🤷♂️.

So much this. It’s so hard to remain a miserable grinch when there’s a tiny human tugging on your limbs, trying to make you touch some actual grass and engage in an epic water gun battle.
Every time I see a comment like this it’s either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids…
I’d say ‘don’t reproduce’ but I guess we’re safe on that front.
They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they’re talking about…
You can read their name and where they’re from to draw complete picture of who they are. Sad reality. There’s a level of entitlement that grew like cancer and one day, they’ll face reality check.
What does this mean?
Shared happiness is double happiness. My son would love this.
I wish antinatalists the help that they need.
This is some bless-your-heart level of passive aggressive, lol. I don’t think our society deserves any more bodies. And I am not selfish enough to foist this on another being just for my own gratification.
The way you think about others that don’t think the same way you do is pretty shitty.
I feel bad for how you must raise your child.
The implication is to have breakfast in bed with your partner, not alone
As an antinatalist, I assure you the parents need a lot more help than us (and they’re not shy about asking for it)
Oops All Carbs: Breakfast Edition
My wife took my kids to a cafe yesterday and asked me if I wanted her to bring home a dessert, which I obviously said yes, who says no to that. I check out the menu and was surprised to see, under Desserts, Pancakes, Waffles, and French Toast. Was just happy to see someone putting them where they belong. I have no problem with any of them, but they are not breakfast food, they are dessert in disguise.
I went to London UK last year and there were so many places offering English afternoon tea. I tried one, and it was delicious, although I feel that calling it “tea” is a way of obscuring the fact that they just wanted to have dessert for lunch.
I’ll stick with eating at a table.
Me, eating out a twinks ass in the bed: “suit yourself I guess”
Yuck. That gold trim on the bed is awful.
Give me some takeout boxes on a shitty table over this any day.
Floppy waffles? No deal
That’s the real issue here.
This and kids, yes!
This and rescued dogs
No children.
This with two dogs, two pigs, and 35+ chickens.
And no children. It’s bliss.
I like how we are in shitpost yet people downvote what we say, even if it’s not real.
Eating jam near white bed sheets? No thank you!
Tacky interior and breakfast only consisting of sweets? No thank you
It’s like as if Donald Trump actually treated the kids nice
That gives me nothing.
Ugh the ACHKTUALLY nerds out in full force 🤣
EWWWWWW GROSS, SOMEONE MIGHT SPILL A CRUMB IN MY BED THAT WILL BE CLEANED IN 2 HOURS!!! THE HORROR, THE HORROR!
Nerds 🤣
Crumbs in the bed are the riders of the apocalypse. They will eat you in your sleep.
I think the split is between people taking this as this being their bed, vs people seeing it as a hotel bed
In either case you have people working for you. It’ll be cleaned.
Ok boomer
Have you ever actually met one of those
I’ll tell you something more, I was born out of one!
