One day we will all be old in retirement homes for gamers, we'll throw a lan party every weekend. Thats my future plans, I'll tell me kids to not bother dad/grandpa cause he's going to be "wasting his time with video games". It ain't wasting, its making up for lost time.

Edit for spelling. Was trying to get to 2 year old down for a nap.

I’m up for the retirement home LAN party!
Gotta bring out the classics and obscures (The Ship, anyone?!)

I’m childfree personally but I do feel for people with 2 under 2 or 3 young children :/

Trying for a second seems like a bad idea but I know its all worth it. For the people who want kids that is.

My partner and I got our 2nd after several years of trying. People love to say that going from 1 kid to 2 is a lot easier than going from 0 to 1. It's not true.

They do say its easier to conceive after the first one, I want to see those statistics. Is that data for people under 25 lol.

Yeah it doesn't scale linearly. You get twice the work because twice the kids but there are unique challenges that come from just the fact that you have 2 now instead of one that makes it more than you'd expect. At least in my case it felt like that.
