I would happily donate my womb and breasts for the other girl or trans who needs them or want to have a child. I'm not gonna use them.

Hear, hear!

This has nothing to do with having kids or not, everything with education. I always remind my children to be careful in the presence of any kind of animals, never scare them, be respectful.

The circle is complete

People ask me how many children I have, and when I say "None", they look at me in a funny manner. "Oh, you can't have any?" I reply: "No, I don't want any."

The pugs look so happy! And, that looks like so much fun.

I guess according to the pious in the US, the foetus is an important member of society who needs to be protected and cherished. Until they are born. Beyond that point, they're on their own and on their way to contributing into the coffers of the top 1%.

Depends because I still fall under the category of a child but all I do is sit on a blanket watching tv

Totally acceptable for kids to scream and cry and throw stuff on buses and light rail, but you can't bring a well-behaved dog on board.

This isn't fair. Fees should either serve to reward behaviour that is genreally desired, or represent the cost of the choices people took. But, a cat likely doesn't cause any additional cost, wallpaper aside (that you have to replace most times anyway, or are required to remove anyway), ... so why is this even legal?

Agreed. My boyfriend rented to a family with a toddler. They moved out a couple months ago but the walls in numerous rooms were covered in crayon, permanent marker, other types of marker. Stickers stuck to numerous surfaces. Sticky stuff on the bedroom floor and wall that was the toddler’s room.

I rented out my townhouse and the agent asked if I would allow pets. "Of course pets are allowed, but can I ban kids?" She laughed it off, but I was dead serious.

Amen!!!

And my cat never drew all over the walls with permanent marker!

You know it!

We had 3 house trained dogs & a man wouldn't lease a house to us because of the dogs. We rented a house across the street. We ran into the man about a year later. He rented the house to a family with small children, and they did over 10K damage to the house.

There sort of is - I've lost a security deposit thanks to my kids.

Yes

Animals should be free, not in apartments or houses

Good rule: Just don't crash into the other car

They lied to us... I'm a 30 something year old with no kids and it is not the dream they sold us

My great aunt never had children. From what I remember it was because her and her husband didn't want to. No shame in that.

My tattoos didn't hurt anywhere near the pain level of childbirth!

It's ridiculous how women are denied agency over THEIR OWN DAMNED BODY and men can just do whatever they want. I mean, men can even walk away from their wife and child, not file for (joint) custody, and most people are like 'ah, divorce, too bad'. When a woman walks away from her husband and child and doesn't want custody, all hell breaks lose and she's painted like an evil villain.

Totally agree

A married friend of mine has a daughter. She wishes she could have more children, but her body told her: nope, that's it. Her worry is for me. "Have children before it's too late," is her advice. Nah, I'm good.

That's actually a good point. I think more people are checking if they made a big mistake more than they want to know if they are actually pregnant

big brain

Hehe this made my day :)

CowboyHank, we understand and value your opinions. BUT! Abortion isn't murder. If it was, you could sue for it. If you believe abortion = bad, don't have one! simple as that! What you don't do is ruin a completely good post with your pro life bullshit. It's the same with others, don't ruin a good post with your pro- abortion bullshit. I am done with my angry Bored Panda rant!

Direct hit!

This needs to be shown in schools on the topic of financial planning.

GREAT CHOICE! I'm happy to see a man who doesn't fall for the babytrap. Also happy he kept the dog, he's obviously the better choice.

How about don’t comment on the things people buy.

So true. I have one child and he costs a fortune.

Totally agree - I have two kids

Is this isnt my Christmas with my significant other I dont want it

I have heard people say that having children keeps you young. I usually reply: Have you looked in the mirror recently? Yeah, I'm evil.

I don't get the 'you're salaried, so no compensation'. I'm salaried too (almost everyone is here), for 32 hours a week. If I need to work more than 32 hours, I get compensated for those extra hours. I mean, in what world does being salaried mean 'you are compensated for 40-168 hours a week'??

My mother raised us kids to think like her, to be like her, to basically obey her every command. My siblings were a bit more amenable to her demands. I was not. No wonder we were at constant loggerheads.

This is my husband and I word for word. Thank you.

He is definetly not the bad guy, his point of view was clear all the time

Plants can be harder to care for than pets though. They're strange creatures with strange needs.

It's inappropriate for medical professionals to congratulate you on being pregnant when they knew you had a tubal ligation for the express purpose of not having any children. I hope that you received the help you needed.

I was told: All you need is to meet the right man. Well, the right man will not want children either.

Betty White is queen.

That void is adorable. Who needs a little human to fit into a onesie?

yes! a lot of cultures (like mine) are under the impression that getting married when you're 18 is normal....and for some reason, a 20 year old getting divorced is also considered quite normal

Okay, but hear me out. I hit that kid because he hit my dog he had it coming. /s

I'm pretty sure there will be an article soon with the headline "Millennials killing the Paediatrician business by not having children"
