This is true 

 Having a child doesn’t dictate whether or not I am or am not a man. But appreciate the insight. Just not for everyone unfortunately. 

 If you want kids, you should have kids. 

If you don’t want kids, you shouldn’t have kids. 

That’s my philosophy. 

 Appreciate it fam ✌️🤝🫂 

 Nothing makes you grow up and mature like having to care for and provide for another human. A human that you helped create. 

 Employment is liberating, but I don’t work for ifcoiners 

 Love is defined by selfless sacrifices that benefit the loved. Parenting isn't the only way to learn and increase the capacity to love, but it's the most available/common one God gave us. The incentive schemes all fail because they don't address the root problem that society no longer seeing value or reward found through sacrifice or suffering offered on behalf of others. My 3 daughters require more than I knew I was capable of but return so much more. Worth it even when it doesn't like when we  lost our first child. 

 Sidebar, but one of the funniest terms I’ve heard for kids is “sex receipts.”

Anyway, highly recommend. 

 Chidren seem to be mere fodder and leverage by courts and super states as levers and controls over a strong man with which they can bind. For the best interests of the children of course. 

 Agree...
It's a blessing, have many friends trying to have children without success.
And I also recommend more than one, having siblings is needed, early life is too easy without them. 

 It's fair to assume that men without kids are virgins. They have no proof of work 🤷 

 Honestly. It’s very true.  

There goal is to do what you can to listen to all those who came before.  

And yet we never do and then, to some degree or another, we always look back and think how we would do it all better as parents. 

Or maybe that’s just me projecting. I have great young adult men and I’m very proud of how they’ve turned out. 

Even still, I do look back on what I should have done better. 

 Walker white pill.

Stop giving me fomo….I will shoot my shot soon 

 Shooters gon’ shoot. #pewpew 

 Before my son turns 1yo: "this parenting thing is horrible. I don't get what all the fuss is about"

After my son turns 1yo: "Ah yeah, this is the best thing ever" 

 I feel this. 

 Agree.  Real life started the day my first was born. Currently  standing on 5, all girls and truly blessed. 

 100% true

My 3 children are my world and they have changed me for the better

Without them, I would not be the man I am today

Lets repopulate this beautiful world with lovely children and raise them to understand what is really valuable in life.
