Well yeah The happiness studies about parenting are an extreme version of "No writer likes writing, they just like having written" The happiness peak of parenting comes after the kids are adults and out of the house and whatnothttps://twitter.com/BearingMoon/status/1373256001969872899 …

But that's assuming success when the whole thing that makes parenting hard is the fear of failure I'll take the certainty of simply dying alone because I don't have any friends or family younger than me any day vs the possibility of dying alone because my kids hate my guts

This feels like a reflection of a society that doesn't know how to develop deep relationships with other ppl and therefore need someone connected by blood (force) to be there.

I mean, speaking for myself I check out when the childfree convo turns to "found family" and "you can mentor without parenting" Yeah but when I said I didn't want kids I actually meant it, I don't want watered-down relationships with kids either

My mother was a horrible, abusive parent who died alone in a nursing home. You don't get unconditional love if you never gave it in the first place.

My sister & I tried so hard to love her, but she made it impossible.

I have never understood the fear of “dying alone”. Everyone does. The death process is an individual experience. Also, men admit they don’t like spending time w kids, but it’s not socially acceptable for women to do so & I think thats a real health risk to both them & children
