I am 21 years old, single, can't drive, working a dead end job on a seasonal basis,

living with my parents, and not even close to getting any kind of credentials required to start an actual career.

I should NOT be thinking about how much I want kids right now.

 

Well, I go to school, and 20 years old, work at a YMCA making $7.50 an hours, have a license with no car of my own, live with my parents, and I know I don't want kids right now.

Though I do admit that at some point I hope I can adopt a child or two. I've always felt like it'd be right to give a child a home. Whether or not I get one naturally remains to be seen, considering I have no interest in females

 

If I ever have children naturally, it will be a miracle. I'm not interested in sex unless it has fictional characters.

 

Well, at least I make about $2/hour more than you do. Wanna switch lives?

What if in vitro fertilzation stops being ridiculously expensive? Or is that the miracle that would have to happen?

 

I'm actually happy at the Y. Fun co-workers and boss, and no one takes things too seriously, like a certain retail store I worked at

 

If in vitro becomes affordable, I may consider it. Except the bun won't be in this oven. Thank you.

 

I go to school

 

Yes.

 

You know, I never really understood that. Who would put just one bun in an oven? Isn't it more reasonable bake a whole batch rather than just one bun at a time? Who would go through that much trouble just to make a sandwich?

 

...That'll do, Pig. That'll do.

 

Kids scare the living hell out of me. The thought of having them is even worse. I plan to adopt eventually, many many many many years down the road. I want to be able to pass on my knowledge and whatnot but the thought of reproducing is just not something I'm interested in.

Everytime I visit my family someone must ask me if I'm expecting or if I'm planning to have a baby with my boyfriend soon. It's gotten to the point where it doesn't phase me too much, but my boyfriend being 19 and myself at 20 it's a little unsettling. We're not even married yet, have no career started, and we're still trying to figure out what we're going to do with the rest of our lives.

 

Welp, I have no job, have a boyfriend, it will be a MIRACLE if I'm ever ALLOWED to drive (medical reasons), living with my parents and have decided I don't want kids for another six years or so at least. My boyfriend asks just whether I want them in the future because he definitely does and actually doesn't bother me too much about it. He doesn't need a kid, he's got his hands full with me.

 

I'm 21, no job, boyfriend and parents support me, still depressed because I feel like I do nothing. Which is untrue. Having to be there for boyfriend's family because his father is dying. Just figured out what I want to do with my life but no idea how to do it.

 

khv self pity thread

 

I am 23 years old, happily "engaged to be engaged," training to be a supervisor at my current job but leaving it because someone offered me a management job (though the six week out-of-state training is going to suck), I've been driving since I was sixteen, and I do plan on having kids around age 30.

Also, I enjoy sex.

Pity me, KHV.

 

I'm 65 years old, still single, recently retired from my lifelong employment that I more than hesitate to call a career. After years of putting off and pushing aside my dreams I finally have the time to put into sequential art, but times have changed and it's hard to adapt to the current climate when the community that I long aspired to be a part of is long dead by now. It feels like I've missed out on everything I was waiting for.

 

I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT KIDS but not right now. I do not have the mental state to take care of kids (beyond working in a school for an hour a day ahaha), nor am I well enough off to provide for one. I'm also single, mostly asexual, and the chances I'll end up with a guy are like 75%. So kids are not gonna be a thing for me for at least a good five years.

 

truth be told, none of the younger generation are able to go off and not live with their parents
they're better off inheriting their parents' home and staying in it, paying just the monthly bills

 

Let's see, I'm 21, have a boyfriend, can't drive, am at university, live in a shared student house during term time and with my parents in the holidays, want kids at some point in the future but not until I'm out of uni and have a job at least.


(Also when you guys say school, do you mean like secondary school, college, university? What? I'm really confused as I'm sure some of you are too old for school as I think of it.)
