"funny tweet"
But doctor, I am Archie Comics.
I bought an Archie comic recently and it was bitter and sad.
Like entire comics about how older bands were better and kids are wrong kind of thing.
I genuinely think that’s still how the writers see the world and it’s not just a tweet.
Bro threw in a bleak take on reality
Thank fuck lots of my friends are childfree like us, and most of the others still make room for having a life outside of kids.
My parents made the super smart move to move to a future proof house.
I grew up in SO many different neighborhoods, it doesn't matter at all.
And I'm not getting old damnit!
A bunch of my friends had kids and now they only hang out with other parents.
We’re not like asking to go clubbing, but our D&D group died off. We used to do online gaming but it’d impossible to schedule with parents. Stuff like that.
And I mean, life happens, it’s okay, I don’t mind hanging out with their kids around. I just want a bit more of their slice of the life pie, but it’s hard to compete with hanging out while someone else’s kids entertain your kids.
This is a temporary period, kids can start entertaining themselves more usually by 7 or 8 years old, and they can start doing all day or overnight play dates, which frees up a lot of time for parents to reengage
Yes ….but your coworkers will probably come to you and ask you about things like fax machines. 🥲
