Wanting a family

If I was living back in the 1950’s when the wife stood by her man, YES.
It really hurts to have had to let this go, sometimes I think about suicide, all my relatives have cold shouldered me and all of them are Divorced now after 40.

Lie. Enough with the revisionist history.

Don’t.

Just don’t.

Your desire is understandable and noble. I also pursued such. The births of my daughters were the happiest days of my life.

But – don’t.

Just don’t.

If you do, you need to be prepared to be the most consistantly ruthless motherf~~~er you can imagine, because the odds of you being in a fight to the death is just too strong.

And start boat shopping.

Listen Morty. You start living your life for someone else Morty, and, and, and, you give up your sovereignty Morty. Sooner or later you stop living life on your terms, and start living your life on someone else’s. Is that what you want? Huh? Is that what you want Morty? To be living your life for someone else without your sovereignty Morty? Your, your, your grandpa Rick is here to save you Morty! That’s right! You can thank me later Morty!

Difficult to digest, but you’re right.

First of all, we have more than enough people on this planet as it is already. Making even more people is just irresponsible.

However, it is rooted deep in our biology to have kids and to spread our DNA. It is also a wonderful thing (for some 14-15 yrs, before they start yelling at you).

If you do get kids, make sure it is because YOU want it. Not because your FAMILY or someone else expects it. Remember, that your parents are probably also under constant questioning by their friends and relatives “Why don’t you have any grand children yet? ” The social pressure on them is large as well. I suggest, that the next time the word “grand children” come up in a discussion, ask your parents or relatives straight out why they think this is so important.

As an alternative to having your own kids, you can try and enroll in a program that helps children with mentoring. There are a lot of father less kids out there who needs a male role model to talk to!. This is another way to help the next generation.

They keep making me feel guilty for it. How can I get them to accept reality?

Not doing it. The thoughts come and go. Thank you for the honesty. I hope everything works out for the best and you are able to spend a lot of time with your kids.
