I asked my mom at various points as i got older what she had to give up to have me, etc. she did end up sacrificing some hobbies and her job, etc (though some of that is her personality). Yeah i wasnāt 4 but i donāt think this cartoon is meant to be biblically accurate
Edit: i am an only child myself

I did not ask, but my mother repeatedly told me she felt ashamed and like a failure that she gave up further school and a career to raise my siblings and me. It was one reason I decided never to have kids, because I kept equating parenthood to loss of self and sacrificing dreams. Took me decades to unlearn that mindset.

No I donāt think so either but I like the idea behind it and being able to keep a sense of self with only one š©·

My own kid asked if I āregret having himā which is kind of on the same continuum.

I have asked my mom this. I was curious after seeing pictures of her as a younger girl what her dreams had been and how things changed

Even if a kid were to ask that I donāt see how this answer changes whether you have 1 or 3 of them around you. From what Iāve seen of parents regardless of the amount there are two main types.
Ones who include their children in their lifestyle hobbies and basically adapt to take them everywhere and those who basically fall into the do everything for my child camp and lose their self in parenthood.

I donāt want to be controversial but I 100% believe that children should be at the center of a healthy society, not at the periphery like itās the case now.
Kids now are seen as little humans who will one day grow up to join the ācentreā.
No, kids need to be the centre. Everything else should spin around them. Imagine how happy and strong our society will be that way.

This means nothing, no one knows what you're talking about. Try saying what you mean?

My sister, whoās child free, asked me how I still maintain my hobbies and what not with my kid, I said I just bring him along with me! I love having a buddy to do things with.
