Taking sides: Children vs. (non-human) animals

My entire family voted for Trump so I told them that I am leaving all my money to Planned Parenthood and Black Lives Matter.

Apparently we’ll inherit like a few million when my dad apparently decides to bite the big one

xp if you reluctantly accept and end up remolding the kids of your trump loving brother into excellent humans, you could sell the movie rights

xp a few million divided by infinity is still zero i'm afraid

I lost my mind after the election when I heard that the kids in their schools loved Trump because Hillary was a liar and the kids are taught not to lie.

It's frankly astounding how resolute I, my siblings, and numerous cousins on my mom's side (only one of whom has yet to make it to/past his thirties) are in making sure the family line dies with the lot of us.

This does feel weird, it's the only part of not having kids that I feel a little guilty about. All those Jews who survived through the years. Not guilty enough to make me have kids, but I wish I had a sibling who was taking care of that.

Then again, that's what comes of a family who only got one kid out of five siblings (my mom's side), that's kinda on them. And there's tons of mental health issues so it's probably good that that side is done. And I do have cousins with kids on my dad's side.

Yerac, my mom also expressed concern over my not leaving anything to my (single and childless) brother, which is weird because wtf he doesn’t need $. We’re gonna be the last stop on the family privilege train.

hear hear!

Inheritance law/ finance is a textbook example of how the (relatively) neutral fact of reproduction is politicized into reinforcement of a system

Close

I’m sure it’ll be more like $300k per person when all is set and done

U kno the gubmint

i'm just gonna declare my will on ILX, 77 dollars to you all except for those of you who FP'd me in the past

I wld never give ne money to u commie fux0rs

Wanna c all o u workin hard fer yr paycheck

How would I even go about leaving money to ilx? And what would ilx do with it?

ilx would just spend it all on hen fap

pay the server bill without a pledge drive i guess

I could endow an old folks home for indigent ilxors but who would i appoint trustee? Treeship young but no. Ned too old.

ilx would never agree on how much to give the server

Ha!

I have kids, I love them, I don't particularly love anyone else's kids, but man it is hard in these early years. I fully recognise I've got some sort of Stockholm Syndrome where my experience of what 'a nice time' is has been drastically downgraded

feeling this wheeeeeewww

i suppose so many people having children despite the fact that they've seen how crappy it looks to be the parent of young children shows that humans are not generally motivated by hedonism above all

masochism

eh

I am literally at this exact moment feeling very worn down & exhausted by children, but the peaks of today, while mundane and more or less impossible to convey to other, were still of the punch-the-parental-joy-centers, would still make me do it again, and I think there is a large amount of hedonism in there. I felt really amazing today watching my three-year-old spell out words. It's a feeling I am more than willing to suffer for, if suffer I must, which I must

3 is pretty young to be spelling words!

i feel that the thread ought not to take the turn of ilx parents defending their children

let them stand up for themselves, toughen the lil bastards up i say

3 is pretty young to be spelling words!

it's completely insane and we were not really ready for this. dude has so far done everything extremely early, from opening his eyes when he was super tiny to crawling to walking to forming sentences, we are baffled

Ha kinda like yrs truly

That kid has a future

Congrats Joan

You must be a proud momma

I am though the other side of this is my dude was done with his baby days VERY early and this is our last kid and I am in heavy mourning that my baby raising days are over and people talk about grandpa renting but I'm an older mom and there won't be a whole lot of grandparenting for me, most likely. still, this kid began a sentence with "in my case" about half an hour ago and I fuckin died it was so hilarious and great

lol "grandpa renting"

it worked tbh

Nice

shooting the shit with a 3 year old near or past bedtime can be terrifying or magical

Mr potty mouth

Breeze, if you please

still, this kid began a sentence with "in my case" about half an hour ago and I fuckin died it was so hilarious and great
