I have kids that I raise, they are great kids, I love them to death but if someone thinks kids aren’t a burden (of any sort) than they’re lying.
I’m convinced that having kids causes a brain chemistry change that makes parents willing to deal with their children. Otherwise, the majority of people would never have kids or abandon them shortly after birth.
My mom says babies are cute because otherwise more would end up in dumpsters.
She also told me she didn’t like kids. I asked her why she had so many, then? “Well, I like you all NOW, I knew you would grow up.”
Which, while sort of a mean thing for her to say, I think does make sense - people always say they don’t want kids, understandable, but kids are just young humans, you were a kid too. You aren’t having kids, you are growing people. Adults.
Burden is the first thing that’s pops in my head when I think of children
I don’t want children, but I wish I would know how to handle a child so I can help out family in case needed.
You might want to take a look at The Montessori Child. It’s a book aimed at parents to make early childhood the best it can be for the kids.
Solution: don’t have kids
Solution two: use protection
