I'm 35 and had a relatively normal American experience in my 20s, being sexually risky and not making smart choices. I came out with no children or baby mama drama.

Now facing what we do and gone through what we have, I feel pretty lucky that me and my girlfriend don't have children. Seems like a liability. I've had a gut feeling since I was a kid that kids wouldn't be a good idea for me.

Personally, I'd have ended up in jail with an assault charge during the covid days if i found out of any teacher BS and my kid

My children are the best part of my life. None of them planned, but all part of God's plan. All are being raised up in the church, home schooled, not vaxx'd, and in a free state where we can do what we want on our land.

Happy for you let me be clear

Its just so scary to me being responsible for 3 or 4 extra mouths to feed in a time like this

The disappointment and failure I would feel would push me to suicde

You would be surprised at how easy it is. It’s literally what you were built for. Also the unbelievable love that you feel for and from a child will (most likely) erase any suicidal thought. It sure did for me.

I have four kids .I hunt, fish, and garden to fill in the gaps. To me it's not scary at all we will survive with what we have . You will be surprised what you are capable of when you are pushed .

Nobody is ever ready to be a parent. Just ask 20 year old me. Unless you are addicted to drugs and alcohol I seriously doubt you would disappoint or fail your children. As a man you work hard for your family and provide, no matter what it takes. They see that hard work and dedication and it means something.
