    Parenthood has taught me that anyone who thinks they don’t want kids should absolutely be free to follow that and not have kids.

    It’s also taught me that all of the cringe goofball nonsense is 100% sincere. Being a parent changes the human brain in weird ways. Which is good, because babies need someone to clean them up after they puke on themselves and shit their plants so hard it gets in their hair.

    (Parenthood can be considered a necessary mental illness.)

      Not having kids is one of my greater regrets in life. Unfortunately i never had a stable enough life situation to make that choice.

      Yeah, although I already did the goofball shit before parenting (maybe cause of my baby sis). Just now I have someone who appreciates random funny voices and silly faces.
