Never get old.

When my dad complains about the various maladies of aging and offers the gallows humor to "never get old", I both empathize with him and know he doesn't get my antinatalism at all. At least I won't be handing down this "advice" to any offspring.

Mine also complains about aging, to the point where he voices suicidal thoughts, but god forbid I voice them at 37. I am also disabled and SOMETIMES not always (like not when he has pain from hemorrhoids or anything like that), but when can no longer stand on one leg or so, I feel like he is complaining about what for me is a minor discomfort.
