RE: Investing from a young age, radical parenting and why I still don’t have kids in my late 30’s

Same, don't want kids since I was 18. I feel having kids is more like playing lottery, no matter how you educate and raise them, in the end how they grow up to be is still more of a lottery. The world has enough humans, and probably don't need my genes. Some people are more suitable to raise kids than me, I let them do this.

躺平吗?😝 I think that attitude is way way healthier than the mindset that people have to have kids because it’s some kind of model for life or something. I guess I don’t see it as a gamble, more as a creative endeavor but with someone’s life at stake, so a kind of consequential creative endeavor. I don’t think I’d have kids expecting them to be anything in particular so there is no gamble for me. In any case, no kids if I don’t have my own shit together first, no way.
I understand you, they always say when you kids you understand whats the most unconditional love is like. It makes sense when you love unconditionally you give up your ego, life is more meaningful. But there’re many ways to give up ego. The problem for me is the personality of the kids is random, it’s like lottery. I don’t see them as investment that sort of lottery, I always see them as liability anyway.
