Only people with kids know what it's like to have them and not have them.

...uhhh ....well...

If youre an EC educator or a babysitter for literal babeis youll DEFINITELY find out whst its like to have kids...

(Heads up, Ive found that theyre too destructive and expensive for my liking. Others may discover the same...)

It is in fact a different experience. You are DEFINITELY wrong

[–] UnequalExchange@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would say the only part you dont get to experience is the birthing process.

Everything after thst the birth is the boring , expensive, 'gotdamn kid wont listen to me even though Im tryna give him life advice' part lol

Idk, I am more like a friend than parent. I don't want to be super strict, they learn by watching anyways

Well, I know what it's like to not have them, so I'm perfectly okay with never finding out what it's like to have them.

Only people with kids were stupid enough to have kids

I know what it's like to not have them, and I enjoy that feeling far too much to be bothered to find out what it's like to have them.
