    Growing up, I was of the mindset that I would have got married and started a family by this point in my life. But as of the last few years, my thoughts have done just about a 180.

    Even if I was currently with someone/married, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to raise kids in this day and age in the US (the bullet dodged me when my ex-girlfriend used plan b after we got intimate without protection). I think best case scenario for me now would be DINK, but gotta find someone that can put up with my dumpster fires first.

      Just find someone with similar dumpster fires, then you’ll both burn in the passions of what you love

      Also, thanks for mentioning DINK - Double Income No Kids … never heard of that before and now I learned something new.

        Currently living that live and fuck me is life easy right now. Cats instead of kids is a very tempting option.

          Me too! Our cat is the perfect child, most of the time. Except when she pukes on the bed.

            Children also do disgusting things but they usually grow out of it, whereas a cat can be joking up hairballs its entire life
