Yet another in a long series of examples of why I never wanted kids.
You do know that odd stuff happening kind of makes life worth living? This is a mild inconvenience in the moment but a story to tell and laugh about for decades. This is net positive by miles and miles.
I'd just cook normal recipes but with a random can whenever it called for a can of something. Then thats whats for dinner and if the kiddo don't like, he can go hungry until breakfast.
I chuckled once reading the story, but if it was my kid I'd be furious for a day and think it was hilarious for weeks, including that day
This would be the highlight of my week. I love telling my friends about the devious shit my 2 yo comes up with this is peak rebellion.
Are you afraid they will be just like you?
I'd hate them less than the mini-yous looking for petty reasons to be mean on the internet.
And what you said was perfectly innocent with no malice at all. LOL.
Looks like I touched on the truth since the only way it can be seen by some as mean to point it out. When its a honest question since everyone was a child at some time and its pretty insane to hate kids when we all were a child at one time. Its better though for the people who can't stand kids to not have them. After all they are probably not qualified to manage their own lives.
What truth? They said they didn't want the experience of having kids, not that they hate kids. Lol
And you double down.
Nope just telling it like it is. Nothing you can say can change that.
