I think it’s more about who you are sharing it with rather than that you are sharing it.
If I were single, I wouldn’t be calling up a friend or relative to tell them about my day, but it’s nice to share with the wife when the day was particularly difficult/good/fun/etc
Everyone tells younger men the same thing it seems. I heard the same bullshit from the time I started talking about it (vasectomy) as a teen. 35 now and nothing has changed, living the dink life with my wife and it’s great. Boomer parents aren’t too thrilled with the idea of 0 grandkids between their two sons, but that’s not my job… Might have felt a little sorry for them if they didn’t vote the way they do… But it’s those choices that have led us to an environment that makes it too difficult to even consider bringing kids into, and it seems it’s only getting worse.
I share the sentiment and have always felt the same way since I started thinking about it (even as a kid myself). The idea of having kids never appealed to me, I don’t like being around them, never have, still don’t at 35. I have a handful of nephews/nieces from in-laws now and still don’t enjoy hanging around them even for short bursts of time… I don’t have the patience for the screaming, crying, breaking shit, tantrums, messes, etc.
It’s a 24/7 job for at least the next 20 years if you go through with it. Also, it’s expensive as fuck. I enjoy expendable income and free time.
In the US, they’ll likely get “51-50’d”. Sent to a medical facility for a max observation hold of 72 hours or less if a doctor clears them to leave.
