The more time I have the more I fill it up...tons of projects and hobbies and events and traveling.

The issue I think is non-creative people get bored and go welp, I'm old, better have a kid cuz thats "what you do". Then they bitch about it for 18 years how hard it is 🙄

I'm basically never bored. Theres an unlimited amount of things to do in this world.

    Indeed!

    The problem is that we have so many bored adults who keep on willingly falling for the capitalist propaganda that 'if youre a bored or boring adult ? Then you MUST have a kid!!!¡1' and then these bored or boring adults unload out a couple of kids even though, had they done some soul soearching instread, they would have realized that theyre actually childfree deep down ninside. THEN they end up becoming a wine mom or wine dad to deal with the pain or a regretfull parent or a neglectful parent.

    Like I myself am a boring individual AND Im bored of my life. Im a Black single male with no IRL friends and I got fired from my old job for always coming in late . The only ' interesting' thing about me is thst Im trying to I enjoy reading studies, Im trying to learn the splits, the pistol spuat and the reverse planche and that I homemake ALL my meals....thats it. Im bored of my life and clearly Im a boring person.... but I know that doesnt mean that by me having kids Ill just magically become 'more interesting' or will 'become more interested in life'.

    We really have to normalize bored adults and seniors just taking time to go soul-searching and finding new hobbies and new friends they enjoy instead of just defaulting to having a kid or raising someone else's kid as the 'oNlY wAy To mAke YouR liFe InTereStinG as An aDuLt''

    Yep I totally agree. Theres nothin wrong with being boring!! I mean I may not hang out with you because I'd annoy the crap out of you haha but people who just want to chill are fine.

    And lol yes the amount of wine moms...which is just a way of saying "I shouldn't have had kids because I still wanted to enjoy life so I'll drink instead and complain"
