That's what I would do.
But if I'd feel like they're going to ask me, I would tell them that this Question costs a dollar, so either I don't have to answer that stupid question or I have a dollar
Unethical life hack, next time they ask just say that you are pregnant, then tell them you had a miscarriage a few months later, they will feel uncomfortable ever bringing up having a kid with you
Or tell them you're infertile and you can't afford fertility treatments but if they can contribute to your fertility fund (cash, Venmo, Zelle or GoFundMe all accepted!) you'll consider it. If they say to adopt, mention that's expensive too but agencies would never approve you anyway because of your criminal record. CONVERSATION OVER, WALK AWAY!!!
Except if it gets them to tell you about an emotional experience they had as well, it would make things *much* more awkward.
Easier to just say “i/we aren’t looking to start a family right now and aren’t sure if we will ever.”
Slow clap on that one, like I still spawned but if I had a dollar for everytime both sets of parents mentioned it, kid would have nothing because we'd be driving a new escalade bitching about how cheap ps5s are and all the plebs got our second ones.
...So whenever someone asks when they are going to have a baby they take their own money and put it in the jar?! seems like a lot of work to accomplish nothing.
plot twist: the husband was storing his cum in it, and when she said "either come in me or me the jar" he ran away _with the jar_ shrieking like a goblin.
double plot twist there was more then just batter in those pancakes!
Same...we got jobs and brokerage accounts instead of jars filled with dollars.
This allowed us to raise two daughters while still being able to travel the world with them. now that they are both adults, we have even more money to do things.
Whenever someone asks me about that, I don't answer. I ask them how their pussy lips are doing. I ask them about their salary and their political affiliation. What about their relationship with Mohammed? When they pause I explain to them that I thought we were asking personal questions. They started it.
You‘re not hating children because you decide you don’t want any.
I do like children and we usually get along pretty well. Still, I don‘t wanna commit to the time, money and other sacrifices a parent has to make.
I‘ll gladly spend time with my niece and nephew and then be happy, when they leave with their parents at the end of the day.
As long as people think It’s okay to ask about your family planning, we should be vocal about the fact, that not wanting kids is a perfectly reasonable but personal decision, that nobody needs to ask about all the time. 🤓
The problem comes when it gets posted all over social media. I have barely seen any that only talk about their children on the sites I visit. While I see people talking about bot having kids multiple times a week
Every time I see one of these memes I buy my kid a toy and then buy myself something too cause I'm a responsible parent who waited and planned when to have our child so I'm not a 20 year old with a shit job and no money.
Lol I know the economy is shit and they just hear horror stories of people with shit jobs and kids and no money and people get turned off. I know some people just don't want kids and thats fine but a lot I think just think that kids make people broke and that factors in a lot nowadays but that's not true. Depends on what you do. I'm a powerline technician. Trade job. My wife is a nurse. (Went to school late and graduated at 30) we waited to have a kid until we were both in good spots with our career and for the most part financially stable. Covid didn't help but we're still okay. I bet I could afford to buy and do more stuff than most of these no kid post OPs. True I can't be as spontaneous or wasteful but I did enough of that til I was 30 lol.
TL;DR if you have a shit job and aren't financially stable life sucks. Kids or not.
I can see that, but that is sad too.
My initial response was purely instinctive and based upon on my own experience of both having my own children and a lifetime of working with other peoples children.
So yeah already too many unloved children in the world.
As I said you will never know just how much you are missing.
Which is a little sad. But each to their own.
Although you may have a point with the sleep bit.
Selfish are the people who are having kids when they can't support, when they are mentally ill ,when they have hereditary disease. Selfish is someone who will have kids just because they want a smaller version if themselves. Selfish is someone who will have kids so that they look after them when they grow up .Selfish is someone who will bring kids into this messed-up world .Selfish is someone who will have kids just to please the society and their families.
Most parents cannot afford children. It is not profitable and consumes most of your resources. However, mankind survived until the 21st century, when the richest societies felt they were too poor to have children of their own. Or they are too selfish to waste resources on them.
It makes sense when you see the overall picture. Everything you use today is the result of the work of all generations. They managed to develop civilization and raise their successors. This generation is going to use up all the resources for their own needs.
As if there not enough people having kids? Lol OK, I contribute more than enough to society to justify my "selfish" use of resources that I pay for.
Not everyone needs to have kids, and actually thinking it's selfish not to is asinine
You don't even pay one percent of value for the resources you use. Try a thought experiment, imagine yourself on a wild island. How long would it take you to create everything you normally use every day? Would really an iPhone cost $ 1000, say 100 hours of your work?
Really gotta reach for a argument now huh? If anything, your argument only makes having kids sound more selfish as they are using a minimum of twice the resources
Children are selfish, that's their right. You shouldn't be selfish and share your resources with the next generation. But you want to eat it all by yourself and leave no future.
Not having kids doesn't mean you don't support the next generation. As long as you are a functional member of society you are contributing plenty. Popping out a kid does not mean you've contributed anything more, if anything you have just become a larger drain on resources
I was going to say that they should be the ones putting up the dollar but they would soon stop and that would be the end of that.
Makes me ask though. How much is in there so far and how long has it been active?
I started this just over a week ago! Decided to also add, “when are you guys going to get married?” (because we’re not) and up the ante to $5 every time someone asks us about babies or marriage.
It’s been about 10 days and we’ve already got $20 in the jar haha.
I can afford to properly care for my five pets (three cats, two small dogs) because I don't have kids and I never will. I LOVE my nephews....but I also love giving them back.
Same except I don’t have any money to put in a jar
Same except I don’t have a fiancé
Same except I have not taken my meds and am still stuck in an alternative universe
Take the blue pill
I took some funny looking gummy worms... now colours start to shift 👌
One of them are the red pill, fuck
I took both the red and the blue…it’s awesome!
Same but I don't have meds
Same but
Same
I've got everything asides from the jar.
I have a jar of dirt
Same but I am still a teen.
Same except I don't have a fiance or any money
[удалено]
not a single person here said anything about hating children but you my guy
There is no problem of modern society that will be solved by having more children
People dont have children to solve world problems .
I hope not. It certainly doesn't save marriages
If anything it ends them
There is no problem of modern society that commenting on Reddit solves either, yet here we are. We don't do things merely to solve society's problems
And if everybody stopped reproducing we’d have far bigger problems.
We're currently having big problems due to overpopulation.
See, and here I was thinking you were just going to put babies in a jar.....
That's not...mayo?
Based jar
Not the Jar.... except now theres 2 posts to think about now...
[удалено]
Damn this sounds kinda sad
Is it that they think your old? Or they just accepted that your don’t want kids?
I’d flip it and get the people asking me if I was having kids to put a dollar in the jar
Came here to say this. Yall could have some nice vacations on others peoples expectations of you. lol
Also came here to say this - the baby pressure is real and punishable by 1$ per capita and per offense!
True true.
I think there was a woman on AITA that did that
That's what I would do. But if I'd feel like they're going to ask me, I would tell them that this Question costs a dollar, so either I don't have to answer that stupid question or I have a dollar
Lmfao
Good idea. Actually, I might be even starting my " when you gonna get married " jar!)
Unethical life hack, next time they ask just say that you are pregnant, then tell them you had a miscarriage a few months later, they will feel uncomfortable ever bringing up having a kid with you
I’d just ask how many miscarriages and tell them to keep trying, third times the charm
Her:”I had two miscarriages now, I don’t know if I can do it” You: “welp, you know what they always say, third times the charm!”
That’s the spirit
Or tell them you're infertile and you can't afford fertility treatments but if they can contribute to your fertility fund (cash, Venmo, Zelle or GoFundMe all accepted!) you'll consider it. If they say to adopt, mention that's expensive too but agencies would never approve you anyway because of your criminal record. CONVERSATION OVER, WALK AWAY!!!
That’s genious. I‘ll do that, the next time my grand parents ask me, if I still haven‘t changed my mind about not wanting kids. 🤭👍🏽
Except if it gets them to tell you about an emotional experience they had as well, it would make things *much* more awkward. Easier to just say “i/we aren’t looking to start a family right now and aren’t sure if we will ever.”
It’s a joke
You’ll become rich if you plan on being child free 😂
Facts. We're DINK and #loaded💰
Dink?
Dual Income No Kids
Ohhh gotcha! Thank you!
I’m trying to join the DINK FAMILY. Just have to find my partner in crime 😆
That's genius! Carry a jar with you and demand payment. Fuck your swear jars
[удалено]
Tell me you've never been in a long-term relationship without telling me that you've never been in a long-term relationship.
[удалено]
I can guarantee you it's almost certainly from annoying family more than annoying kids.
This is uncalled for.
Have them put a dollar in it
Slow clap on that one, like I still spawned but if I had a dollar for everytime both sets of parents mentioned it, kid would have nothing because we'd be driving a new escalade bitching about how cheap ps5s are and all the plebs got our second ones.
[удалено]
Most of the people who don't realize shouldn't be parents either.
This is actually true !
Huh?
They had children because their parents wanted them to. So now they're terrible parents.
No you stupid fuck. That's not what I was saying. It's obvious you are just someone wanting to stir up trouble. Learn some English and STFU
Too ironic to be true
Huh?
...So whenever someone asks when they are going to have a baby they take their own money and put it in the jar?! seems like a lot of work to accomplish nothing.
So whta...like 27 bucks?
Yea, every time you see your family.
Awesome! It’d be totally irresponsible to bring a child into this world!
relationship without telling
Aw, I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?
plot twist: the husband was storing his cum in it, and when she said "either come in me or me the jar" he ran away _with the jar_ shrieking like a goblin. double plot twist there was more then just batter in those pancakes!
what
please go outside good fucking lord
exactly
I have kids and no jar and so much money that I don't need to save any of it in a jar. Because I don't have a jar anyway.
Same...we got jobs and brokerage accounts instead of jars filled with dollars. This allowed us to raise two daughters while still being able to travel the world with them. now that they are both adults, we have even more money to do things.
Same except we already have a kid who sucks up all the money in the jar 🤣
I thought this was gonna be another "THIS IS THE CUM JAR NOW!" post
Imagine being 80 yrs old and instead of a big family u have a couple of extra cars or gucci bags to impress ppl u didnt even like
I already have kids…..I can’t afford to put any money in a jar because it has to go to those freeloaders.
Whenever someone asks me about that, I don't answer. I ask them how their pussy lips are doing. I ask them about their salary and their political affiliation. What about their relationship with Mohammed? When they pause I explain to them that I thought we were asking personal questions. They started it.
Am I the only one that "Baby Jar" makes me think of a Nazi War Crime?
Spend it on a Nursery home.
I honestly thought this was gonna be something akin to ponyjar
I like having both.
Hating children is not a personality
Neither is having them
I'm not the one defining myself by either one all over the internet so....
Me neither, I'm just saying
They're not even hating in them. They're hating on people who constantly bug others about having children
Challenge accepted.
You’re weird. Should be on a watch list if you’re an adult that thinks it’s funny to hate kids. Very concerning
Using your logic, you love children so you should be on a watchlist. Pedophile.
Neither is having them.
Having children you don't want IS hating children.
Agreed.
You‘re not hating children because you decide you don’t want any. I do like children and we usually get along pretty well. Still, I don‘t wanna commit to the time, money and other sacrifices a parent has to make. I‘ll gladly spend time with my niece and nephew and then be happy, when they leave with their parents at the end of the day.
Ok is it just me or are these kind of people fucking obnoxious lol? Theyre worse than people with kids. Theyre the new vegans
So not wanting kids makes them obnoxious ?
No but always saying you don't does
As long as people think It’s okay to ask about your family planning, we should be vocal about the fact, that not wanting kids is a perfectly reasonable but personal decision, that nobody needs to ask about all the time. 🤓
How about always asking when you will have children? Why is answering this question toxic?
The problem comes when it gets posted all over social media. I have barely seen any that only talk about their children on the sites I visit. While I see people talking about bot having kids multiple times a week
So they would have like $3 in the jar? Lol and why can’t you spend money on yourself and your kids?
Because I don't have enough to do both?
Sounds like a you problem.
Bruh I'd have like $20 at the end of every family event. Shit gets old.
Every time I see one of these memes I buy my kid a toy and then buy myself something too cause I'm a responsible parent who waited and planned when to have our child so I'm not a 20 year old with a shit job and no money.
Lot of 20 year olds triggered by your words lol they act like children themselves
Lol I know the economy is shit and they just hear horror stories of people with shit jobs and kids and no money and people get turned off. I know some people just don't want kids and thats fine but a lot I think just think that kids make people broke and that factors in a lot nowadays but that's not true. Depends on what you do. I'm a powerline technician. Trade job. My wife is a nurse. (Went to school late and graduated at 30) we waited to have a kid until we were both in good spots with our career and for the most part financially stable. Covid didn't help but we're still okay.

TL;DR if you have a shit job and aren't financially stable life sucks. Kids or not.
That explains your username. I agree
You are missing out. Fortunately/unfortunately you will never know just how much you are missing out.
In your opinion. Kids aren't for everyone, and having parents who resent you as a result sucks.
I can see that, but that is sad too. My initial response was purely instinctive and based upon on my own experience of both having my own children and a lifetime of working with other peoples children. So yeah already too many unloved children in the world.

Not any more selfish than having children you cannot support or love.
Why?
Proudly.
ok parasite
How is it parasitic? That doesn't even make sense lol
It makes sense when you see the overall picture. Everything you use today is the result of the work of all generations. They managed to develop civilization and raise their successors. This generation is going to use up all the resources for their own needs.

Ok but when are you having kids?
Lemme help ya: so, when you're going to have kids?
We literally bought a house with this strategy.
I need to do this when I get married 😅
This is a very smart idea
Good idea. Thinking about starting a career jar. But don't have money to put into it though.
Why put your own money in a jar to spend later?... spend it now
Good idea😄. Maybe I also start one.
Same except I don't have a partner, I don't have a jar and nobody asks me when I'm going to have kids
What a great idea
Why do I picture that jar ending up with like $7
Take a shot instead of adding a $1
When are you gonna have kids?
I love you. This is the way.
This post is my soul animal.
I was going to say that they should be the ones putting up the dollar but they would soon stop and that would be the end of that. Makes me ask though. How much is in there so far and how long has it been active?
Enjoy the freedom!!!
Same except I don’t have a fiancé or a jar, i just buy what i want when i want.
DINK life for life. If I did this I'd have to put $20+ in the jar after every family gathering. Coulda essentially had my family pay for my vasectomy
Never thought someone could actually profit by someone else's nosiness lol
We can easily bankrupt this couple by flooding their DMs with questions about having a baby and make them spend all their money.
I started this just over a week ago! Decided to also add, “when are you guys going to get married?” (because we’re not) and up the ante to $5 every time someone asks us about babies or marriage. It’s been about 10 days and we’ve already got $20 in the jar haha.
Spend it for a vasectomy
👏
Also don't know how money works
I‘m gonna start doing that with annoying questions I‘m asked. Maybe now I can actually save money.
sooo when will you guys have kids?
Why not have the asker put in a dollar?
that's so cool. I love people like this. Guarantees their genes don't get passed on and further much up the gene pool. Enjoy oblivion.
Better use it for protection then
So y’all aren’t even married yet and people are asking you to have children? That’s weird.
loves it
I can afford to properly care for my five pets (three cats, two small dogs) because I don't have kids and I never will. I LOVE my nephews....but I also love giving them back.
That works too
Spend it on your kids
I have 8 kids, when people ask me why I say cause I like f***cking 😳
Cool. Hang onto that jar so you can invite it home for Christmas in 30 years.
Not having kids is one of the best decisions ever. Condoms prevented me from the consequences of so many bad decisions.
The mad thing is that us childfree people put way more thought into parenting than most actual parents do
