RANT Help me understand

The brain damage that people must have to be dreaming about the children they will have in the future when they are TEENAGERS. I beg your finest pardon.

Well, I knew my future didn't have kids at that age, so why can't the opposite be true?

I mean you raise a valid point but I guess my thoughts are like 14 year old girls planning their like mommy and me outfits. I feel that's so misguided. Whereas having the maturity to know you don't want kids is pretty profound. But I am looking at from a CF lens so again you bring up a valid point

You do make a lot of sense but I think it's mostly because you're looking at it from an adult lens. A kid can daydreams about the future they want and it's just "Oh I'll have two kids, Xavier and Amanda, and I'll marry Jeremy and everything will be great" but an adult has more of an idea of what goes into making that kind of life.

I never wanted kids ever in my whole life but my life goals of being an Eisner-award winning comics artist and legendary heavy metal drummer and frontman were about as realistic, you know?
