      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 …

      Yeah, they're not fulfilled and I'm pretty sure the studies that talk about parents being happy, that comes later in life, not when they are in the trenches. However, I still don't get why parents constantly vent to non-parents. I don't even vent that much to other parents. 🤷🏽‍♀️ https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1373243782720749569 …

      Because yes, assuming you and the kids survived unscathed - which is a big assumption - and your kids grow up to be happy successful adults, then yeah now you're an old retired person with a happy successful adult in your family, which is better than not having one

      But it's a hell of a risky investment The question non-parents ask is always "Aren't you afraid of dying alone?" and if it's a binary choice between that and being surrounded by loving family on your deathbed then hey sure easy choice

      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

      Replying to @arthur_affect @BearingMoon

      I am an extremely atomized and isolated person and I deliberately avoid contact with anyone Gen Z or younger because they make me uncomfortable and I fully expect that when I'm old there won't be a single person of working age I know well enough that they'd want to support me

          People like me have died alone for all of human history, it's not a new thing They find the body when the apartment starts to stink and the people who take it away mutter about how sad it was but we all died thinking at least we didn't have to put up with your shit

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          Yeah but I think if I was without kids, I would be bonding with ppl my age or similar, not looking for child substitutes. My point being, I hate the "not dying alone" excuse 1) no guarantee they will be there & 2) I don't want to burden my children.

          Sure, but his point is that, when you're old and dying, they'll all be old and dying too. That's something he's accepted for himself, and pretending it's not a thing does no-one any favors.
