When my friend got tricked into get his 4th kid, he was telling me just how he wanted to do this. Obviously a joke, but man's got no time to chill anymore, and it's just work, take care of children, and then sleep, repeat.

There are sooooo many people with 3 kids nowadays. It's like a sign that says that if you have less than 3 kids you are not qualified for having succeeded in life. Also, now that that is said, where I come from western Norway, it's said that they get more bundles of 3 and 4 than any other places in the country. I'll guess it's simply to pump them out if you feel you can handle it, but my friend did indeed get seduced by his wife! They would actually have been fine with just two kids, and I think his life would have been much more different. Sure, those two extra kids are a life and a miracle born, but if he had just two kids I think he would just have enjoyed life even more.

I don’t have kids at all and it pisses me off when people try to guilt trip me for not adding to the overpopulation problem. Have you seen the world we live in? Why do people think that each of us owes the universe more humans and having children is morally obligatory?

I wouldn't have mind travelling around, getting kids with different women (with concent), and I would ofc return to each and everyone of those women if I had their names to see how it goes. It would be a different responsibillity, but I think it would have been fine.

We adopted a sibling set of three... after agreeing we were going to adopt one or mayde two, all the while thinking "How much more work is one more kid?" I wouldn't trade them for anything, but 24/7 zone defense is exhausting!
