It was terrific even just keeping the place tidy and clean and not having someone else critique it, or just eating what I wanted when I wanted. Or just go for a walk without the hassle of any explanation. I just really enjoy being in my own company. The missus was going to the Netherlands for 10 days in November (including best part of two weekends) which has now been shit-canned because of Corona and I'm actually really sad that I won't get that time to myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This idea that having kids these days is monumentally selfish and morally wrong, is somewhat bonkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say that I think it's cover for being monumentally lazy and not wanting the hassle, an attitude that I heartily share. I don't claim it as a virtue though, there are no rights and wrongs about breeding choices. Somebody has to look after me in my dotage and we can't rely on outsourcing our breeding to poorer countries for ever.

A couple of posters on here are though, and I find their logic unconvincing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I will be moving out of the sober living home next month and into a new rented flat. I’ve lived alone before but previously struggled, possibly because it was always a previously shared space with a now late Mrs. RN.I’m hoping that the fact this will effectively be a brand new start will be more successful this time.I’m still not sure I feel like an adult soon and I’m over half way to 100! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at one point in my life that it would solve my problems, I thought it would fix a broken relationship... thankfully it didn't come to pass. I couldn't even look after myself at that point in my life, I wouldn't have been able to look after another. Now, I realize that I'm not obliged to by society despite what anyone says and I'm happy with that. Maybe my feelings will change, maybe not. 1 hour ago, Monkey Tennis said: Indeed.

We're at a point in history where we're becoming over-populated and if things continue as they are, basic needs are going to start becoming in short supply. It's our duty to all future generations to reign it in. So yes, I feel that people making big families now a selfish and unreasonable choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Totally agree with much that's written. I was in the supermarket couple of weeks back and a small child barged past me, the child's mother reprehended the child and told him to apologise to the man. I immediately looked around for the man she was referring to... [emoji23] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as mental to say that having kids is selfish imo. My reasons for not having kids are more complicated but laziness definitely plays a part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I've got a really puerile sense of humour and similar to above some kid made me laugh uncontrollably in the supermarket once because he kept trying to wind his mum up by shouting "ALAN ALAN ALAN"from the dubbed gopher thing on bbc.He noticed me laughing so I said it back.His mum wasn't amused as if he'd now be doing it for ages.Kept bumping into them as well.Mummy mummy alan alan alanShut up, just shut up.[emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm never having bairns, well I'm not planning to anyway. I'm single and not getting much sex at the moment so the plan is working a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
