It should be noted here that “hobbies” in this case should provide enrichment to the kids that are in your life tangentially.
Be the cool Aunt/Uncle that inspires. Give kids gifts that create memories and are unique. Open the door to creativity that their patents can’t afford it don’t have the time to manage. Basically, be grandparents with less doting and better knees.
Brewing beer or playing COD doesn’t hit the same way as teaching someone to cook or code or carve wood.
Edit: These are some of my hobbies, I’m saying that I’m also not helping matters, eirher. This isn’t judgment, it’s introspection.
Because people aren’t choosing their hobbies based on how it provides enrichment for children that are in their lives tangentially?
Really?
Becuase I find it strange to suggest that childless people should be choosing their hobbies based on how it affects kids that aren’t theirs. That’s a weird thing to suggest people should be doing.

Should?
I mean, they can if that’s what they want, but to imply that everyone should be doing this is kind of insane.
Pretty judgy about people’s hobbies there eh
Introspective. I brew, make hot sauce, and other things I know are for adults only. I should change my habits, too.
Or you can just enjoy your hobbies for yourself and what they do for you, which is the entire purpose of a hobby. That’s always an option.
All the haters don’t like it when you make them feel some sort of responsibility that doesn’t serve them directly.

You’re right. People without children shouldn’t try to be a positive influence with even a sliver of their time.
Right? Who would have ever thought that suggesting people inspire children would be so divisive?
