While I can 5000% relate to those feels, it’s the water.
No matter how much you have, butane will always be a lighter fluid.

Kids are overrated anyway, I see enough of my baby cousins and I work around kids daily at my job. Both myself and SO are fine not having one at home. It really just depends on your living situation and how you feel about children, regardless of what society or some parents may tell you. You don’t need children to be happy.

The ultimate message right here. It’s your life. Do what makes your heart smile and be who you want to be.

I’m gonna be a father as of this Friday if the infant keeps its appointment. 
Not sure if nervous or excited.
(Yes I know I’m posting on a female toon. I tend to RP both genders but I try to post on my current main so I’m recognisable in game xD. My Alliance main is Crazyprophet but he gets little RP)

Congrats!
My daughter was 4 days overdue but it worked out since we were to only people in the delivery floor that day.
Enjoy watching him/her grow

The social pressure to have kids is overwhelming and depressing, to the point where I’m really tempted to tell people that I’m infertile just so they’ll stop asking me when I’m going to have a kid.
Just the fact that question is asked more than ‘are you doing okay’ really makes me want to go live in the mountains.

I’m sorry you feel this way! Please don’t let things other people want stampede over what you want like those animals from the Lion King. Your spirit and happiness is Mufasa. Don’t let them get trampled.
Long live the King and all that but make that be you

I understand how you feel believe me, I felt that way for a long while. Like, “What if I don’t want to have kids? or have a big fancy expensive wedding.” Was me through most of my 20s. In Highschool, I had so much of my own personal stuff that that never really entered my mind. And now I’m finally in a comfortable place where i’ve got my hobbies and my IRL assets in order that I am just fine being me and my family doesn’t really expect me to be having grandkids or anything like that anytime soon, so that’s been helpful.

I forgot to respond to this one - oops. Brief backtrack!
I did consider that - it certainly looks better than most hoods. But I decided against it because death knights are themselves, arguably, quite conspicuous in civilized company. Certainly some people don’t approve of them. So if Sara was to slip under the radar, she wanted to appear as an impoverished mercenary swordswoman. If she’s RPing in Org she tends to hide her runeblade behind an illusion (in other words I use a crappy low level sword to act as a proxy xD)
I actually wanted to find out. But both times my wife and I tried to find out, the baby was altogether too modest and revealed nothing in the gender department.
So it’ll be a surprise whether we like it or not

this post i pure cringe. Who DOESNT have discord at this point? Third party communication programs have been a guild requirement since the beginning. Team Speak, Vent, Mumble, Discord. How is needing this any more “egotistical” than any of the others?
I appreciate any parent who acknowledges this fact.

You would think that. But Just because Discord is the new shiny object, doesn’t mean everyone is expected to download and have it. I still know people who won’t touch a VC to this day, lol. It’s just not some people’s thing.
My only issue with having children is as i mentioned before i loathe the bumbling dad , incompetent father archtype media shovels down throats
Also pushy relatives are the worst “When you gonna giff me granbabbbbies raaaaa!” Spraybottle

Even as a non-parent and non-prospective-parent, this really annoys me. It’s in every show. Does nobody who becomes a TV writer ever have a decent father?

I assume it’s a symptom of common media sexism – like how if a female character doesn’t want kids, then it’s because of a traumatic backstory element and her character arc should be about learning to want a family.

I will never understand parents that try and foist their own life choices onto others, and I’ve always suspected its because they feel the need for others to justify their choice to reproduce.

Its along the same lines as “the father/husband thats afraid to pickup feminine products.”
Which I’ve also never understood

My parents have thankfully left me alone about THE CHILDREN question but that’s also probably because they gave up on me since I continue to cover myself in tattoos and fill my apartment with anime figures also my brother and sister have taken that bullet for me lmao.
That said, I really do love my nieces and nephews and look forward to seeing them whenever I can. They’re just so fun and pure and full of smiles and laughs. It’s fun to share my hobbies with them and have them show me their interests and what makes them happy. I’m learning new things from them and able to see the joy in some of the simple things I may have taken for granted.
Plus I get to go home and let my siblings deal with all the unfun parts lol.
