Seeing people my age with kinds is gross (28M)
Getting to the age where I should be having kids. More and more, I see people my age with crotch goblins. But every time I'm disgusted by the look of it. Either it's a mother on her phone, trying to escape her kid in the stroller. Or an incredibly exhausted father spending more energy on his sex trophy.
I haven't seen a happy parent of my age. And every time I'm happy I had a vasectomy 2 years ago.
Those parents do not look happy in any way. You can see the exhaustion on their face, their walk.
Meanwhile I'm leaving the house whenever I feel like it. Buy whichever new project I want. It's wonderful to gain energy from the projects that I love. I'd need more goal driven people in my life.
Don't be shy to share what gives you energy and how enthusiastic you are about it.
