Couples who don’t have kids.

[Georgewhitt]

Aye we are sat by the pool now paying £390 all inclusive for a week in Lanzarote and it's lovely. Poor sods in a couple of weeks are paying over a grand per person

And surrounded by screaming feral sprogs full of sugar and e numbers

Tbf I only entertained those sort of destinations once kids landed.

Mind, that implies that having kids is expected.
Why is it expected? It's something I've always pondered.

That's pretty deep philosophy.

I don't know or don't know if anything is expected. It's nature, we are animals but animals that have elevated ourselves to a unique position.

I suppose like all animals our expectation is to procreate but I don't see owt wrong with enjoying just another persons' company either. Humans have rewritten the rule book on te meaning of life and what is expected from life.

We take ours away in term time. Good fun watching them annoy the fuck out of people thinking they'd avoid the annoying shits

Child free hotels marra.
Best thing in the world

Presuming you actually leave the hotel though, you are fair game Class releasing them into a restaurant or pub and sitting back smirking.

Mind you quite a few parents here have clearly taken the kids out of school to take advantage of the financial saving and I don't blame them.

Without a doubt.

Delightfully put, thank you for that.

 

[Voice of fair play]

There you go.

Why can't you accept that it's the "biggest joy in YOUR LIFE", but not everyones.

You have absolutely no idea what joy other people experience in their lives from different things.

I'm happy for you, and the joy it brings you, but that's your experience, not everyone elses.

It is arrogant in the extreme to believe that no one gets that same joy from anything else.

Claim down mate just said it’s my biggest joy!

If others have other similar joys from other things which they will then great!

Nobody said others don’t get the same joy from other things you blowing what I said all out of proportion

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Without a doubt.

Like I say the price we paid £390 for a week. 4th and 7th July is £924. £1120 on 21st July and £1320 on 28th July which is almost a grand each more than a month earlier. Mental

We've all came from someone who has had a kid, we've all got that in common. Like with a lot of lot of things there's a pressure to do the same. But you are right, why should it be expected.

You're right there, aye.
I do feel a certain pressure but then I think it's just to carry on the family name or somesuch? It seems like a hollow reason for bringing a life into the world.

I agree. I feel the same about marriage that's why I haven't bothered with that. I went into a completely different line of work to previous generations of my family as well. People should do what's right for them and not what society or even their family expects.

Whey exactly, chief.

Let’s get down to business here shall we and look at it as it actually is on an animalistic basis as that’s what we are animals.



If a woman doesn’t want kids at any stage of her life then it’s rather peculiar don’t you think?Hormones not right or something.It’s in there DNA to carry bairns and look after them ,just as it’s in blokes to stick their Chucky in owt with a frock on.

Human beings have evolved - well, most that I know have - from their earliest incarnations.

Encountering and experiencing what life has to offer apart from rearing kids might have just turned their heads and made them think “that’s not for me”.

 

[The King of Um]

In general I think that most people who have kids are glad they did, and most people who made a decision not to have kids are glad they didn’t. Which is the best of all possible outcomes.

You didn't mate.
You said "THE biggest joy in life bar none.", not yours.
Big difference marra.
If youd said it was yours, I wouldnt have even replied mate

 

[Mackem DJ]

Perfectly normal and natural to have kids. Most people have them afterall & it’s what we were put on the planet to do. Doesnt suprise me one bit a hell of a lot of the SMB are without child tbh. Just an observation.

Thats it. Whether you do or you don't both have upsides and downsides.

And that. Is. Just. Fine.
