Parents...
It must be tough to be a parent. It still surprises me though that almost everybody chooses to become one. Wonder if that will change in the near future

Man, it's already changed drastically. Look at the age people have kids nowadays, and all the declining populations. Honestly it makes me kind of sad that I wasn't able to find conditions that made me want to have kids, but that's just the era I was born into I guess, more options than before, but fewer stable and clear-cut options. I wasn't willing to make the sacrifices that I would have had to. I kind of hope the next generation will have more options for how they want to raise kids...
Dude my crazy idea is that kids need a supportive community and adults who have their emotional shit together more than they need 2 parental figures. I would love to have a kid-share with a few other like-minded friends.... like 4 kids for 8-12 parents and we pass them all around like their all everyone's kids...too experimental?
I don't think this is crazy at all. I see so many parents who either can't handle their kids or have no time at all for a life without their kids. Also, they can't expect us ( those without kids ) to take over their kids for too long a time. Two days with my niece and nephew already drain me, no matter how well I know them.
P.S. I feel I'm still not too old for kids so I won't say I will never get any but being a father is definitely not a dream of me any longer. It's hard work and I'm not too sure about ( the benefit of ) the world they would grow up in, without meaning to sound too dark.
Cheers!
