41, married, childless by choice. We like having money to do fun things, and zero desire to leave a “legacy” of little ones.

Seriously considered having kids when I was younger, but priorities change as you get older. My wife and I joke that we are the childless couple from the start of Idiocracy.

I don’t think people should have kids if they don’t want to. You do you. But why do people think us parents have no money to do fun things lmao

Are you joking? Have you been blind/deaf to all the parents who complain? I have been told my whole life “When you have kids, your life is OVER!” There are tons of parents that hop online to bitch and moan about everything they sacrificed to have kids.

Maybe it's your circle. All my fellow millennial parents love their kids deeply. We post on social media 24/7 about all the great things our kids do. Frankly, at times it can feel like an unspoken competition of who is doing the most for their kids.

But I will say, parenting is an exhausting job and a shared experience, so it's natural that parents will vent. I know plenty of childless couples with high-stress jobs and they complain about their work, clients, bosses, co-workers, etc. They say things like, "Man, I should have become a painter," even though they have gobs of money and take two childless vacations a year. Stress is still stress.
