And is that how you typically live your life? In paralyzing fear of regret? Is this how a sane person makes decisions?
it’s quite the opposite of paralyzing. life without kids is freedom.
the post title is just a point of view to consider for people who aren’t sure about having kids. maybe YOLO-ing parenthood isn’t a great idea, for yourself or your kid.
Of course it isn't. That's also not what the post is about
...thats exactly what the postt is about...
WHat?
Uh, I see this as a reaction to people who say "what If you regret it?" to people who don't want kids. The answer is simply "I can live with that. The inverse is harder to live with."
Which is...pretty reasonable? You're the one injecting paralyzing fear into the situation.
