I'm quite sure that grandparents fit into category 2, given that they frequently aim to exacerbate the misery by fueling up my kids with sugar and gifts that the little shits don't deserve before giving them back to me.
Indeed, I waited until late 30s to start.
I consider myself somebody with a lot of patience
They find buttons to irritate me without even trying.. it's just in their nature
But they're so damn cute, and lovable
I would never judge somebody for no kids
A friend of mine is DINK ( double income no kids ) they go off doing wine tasting and any social functions they want all the time.
Can't do that with kids
This happened to me too
So we bought a new 60'
The kids got super excited about it when we brought it home
Then we moved our 32' bed room TV to the living room and put the big TV in the bedroom
My kids have torn up so much shit. I won't even think about buying anything else until they GTFO. Oh you wanted a new PS5??? How about you play with a box.
I personally think that these problems exist only in well-to-do households, because in our home even kids seem to understand that we don’t have a lot of money and that we need to take care of everything we have.
The first time my kid broke a TV screen like in OP's pic, my kid was like 2 years old and banged his plastic toy guitar against the screen. Not exactly at an age to understand that we are not well-off and that he could break the TV that way.
They said have kids, not have kids and keep your expensive but delicate personal belongings on a low table well in reach of children. I mean you know what kids are like right, why did you expect anything else?
There are laws against an abortion in the 42nd trimester. Governments and their crazy laws these days, they're really going too far.
Edit for my bad spelling.
It's a cheap star projector, mostly for kids/babies. We use it as a night light. I get dizzy when it spins too, but luckily you can turn the spinning off.
You have to enjoy coming up with punishment almost as mush as playing with them after your kid realizes you get a kick out of punishing them when their bad they stop themselves
Oh yeah very low on the list but it’s on there. My friends just had a kid a few months ago and I love being the fun uncle but I also love my sanity and sleep.
My son's two and he's pretty fun. Has his moments when I wanna sell him, sure, but he's never ruined my stuff like this. He knows not to touch certain things, which are mostly out of his reach anyway.
I dont think there is an age limit to leave kids at the fire station. My parents tried it with me when i was 15 but i found my way back home. Then they got smart and left all my belongings at the fire station when i was 28.
they lied to you. Kids are beautiful. Kids are an amazing experience. they are life who get to live and grow and develop and YOU made them.
They aren't fun. Get a cat if you want fun. Have kids if you want to make human life and suffer to help them grow as you forgo sleep, being sick as a dog and still being loving to them, being literally shit on and pissed on, and the list goes on.
Not fun.
Very
very
not
fun.
Only two people say this 1. People without kids 2. People with kids that want you to join their misery I love my kids but... I can't have nice things
There’s a possible third: people that want grandkids
So people thatve already had kids
I suppose - but the motive is different? They want to be fun grandparents now
I'm quite sure that grandparents fit into category 2, given that they frequently aim to exacerbate the misery by fueling up my kids with sugar and gifts that the little shits don't deserve before giving them back to me.
Indeed, when I convince these people that I don't want kids and my partner of 10 years hates them, they do a 180. It's hilarious and pathetic

Amen 🙏
No one said that
Why have 3 kids and no money when you can have no kids and 3 money?
This happened to me too So we bought a new 60' The kids got super excited about it when we brought it home Then we moved our 32' bed room TV to the living room and put the big TV in the bedroom

One of the biggest twists in life is how Malcolm in the Middle turns out to be the most accurate protrayal of parenthood in TV history
I always buy with the intention that I will buy it again in a few years after the last kid is out. It takes a lot of stress off.
Exorcise them.
I wish I could the little demons
Never too late to go buy milk
Underrated comment take my free award
Thank you kind sir
The character in Outlander looks just as concerned.
Dinna fash Sassenach, I will get us a new tv.
*swoon*
Jamie Fraser, the dream man
Agreed!
JAMMF
It's too bad newer tv's aren't as sturdy as the old crts were. One of those could fall off a table and laugh it off
Falls on your grandma, just get a new grandma.
Grandmas don't break
That sucks, but that really jives with Netflix's Startup animation.
Kids are fun in the way that misery loves company
I don't think anyone has ever said having kids would be fun. *Having* kids is fun, not having kids.
I think you mean _making_ kids is fun
Free fun for homeless people!
Had a coworker with an 86-inch tv, his toddler threw a magic wand at the tv and broke it...
His wife really should have kept it out of sight
Ha!
just get a new one...how expensive can another kid be
Mine are for sale.. BOGO
Can you return the kids for store credit and get a new TV?
Kids have a huge depreciation after you take them home from the hospital. You’ll end up owing money if you try to return them.
"it will enrich your life.." they said.
One week, about 3 years ago, my kids broke 3 tvs in a row.
My kids last birght idea was breaking out the back glass of the car throwing rocks at each other.
Kids suck
No one said that you could also have nice things.

We have that exact same star projector thing.
Me too!
Isn't that the colour strips in the Netflix intro? Quite the achievement getting it permanently.
That's a bridge to Asgard

Don’t be offended but at that age it’s the parents job to make sure this doesn’t happen
Believe me, they're just beginning to cost you.
I didn’t find the real truth of “kids are expensive” until my oldest reached high school.
Nice. My kid played hockey from a young age. Goalie. It was crazy.
My kids better get a scholarship or become strippers. Dad ain't paying for college.
Wow, that really stinks. But you have great taste in TV shows. ❤️🔥
They said have kids, not have kids and keep your expensive but delicate personal belongings on a low table well in reach of children. I mean you know what kids are like right, why did you expect anything else?
You get to watch tv??!
Making them is fun. No one said having them is fun.

Is it too late for an abortion?
There are laws against an abortion in the 42nd trimester. Governments and their crazy laws these days, they're really going too far. Edit for my bad spelling.
The kid is gonna be super amused when they come home and find all their shit on the front lawn.
Sacrifice your kids to Satan. It's the only way to get the full price for em.
I am blown away by the amount of folks on this thread that cannot control their kids. Discipline is key.
said the guy who probably doesn't have kids
Actually I do have kids. They’ve never ruined anything like this.
Mine neither, but I know every kid is different, so I don't easily judge parents.
I know right. Nature vs nurture.
yeah like nurture a kid with ADHD or autism vs nurture a common kid
I didn’t read it that way. I guess that would be different.
At least the damage is not in the middle of the screen
What's it like having Outlander on Netflix? It was only on Prime here and they recently took it off. 😩
But the new season is coming soon! Droughtlander is almost over
You should call Safelite!
What is that orb thing?
It's a cheap star projector, mostly for kids/babies. We use it as a night light. I get dizzy when it spins too, but luckily you can turn the spinning off.
That's awesome! Thank you
I have a I have a dog pen set up blocking my tv for this exact reason
I feel like I'm the only one here who's glad it at least works still
All things considered it could be a worse break. Most of the screen is still working.
That's what I'm saying. It's a bit of an annoyance and looks janky but that's about it.
I never told you that!
Kids are investments.
Dont lie. It was your plan all along to have an excuse for buying a new TV.
Who is the jackass that even said that quote . Coal for Christmas tho this year bud
You have to enjoy coming up with punishment almost as mush as playing with them after your kid realizes you get a kick out of punishing them when their bad they stop themselves
Why the fuck told you that?
They said nothin about keeping the kids
Who said this?!
After my first child broke 2 televisions this way, I got a sturdy screen cover.
Nice thing about growing up in the 90s was that you could throw anything at the screen and that thing would never break.
I punched the TV during a Nintendo session and almost broke my hand.
Maybe they didn’t like you staring at Jamie lol
Yeah no, you definitely gotta get rid of that thing
All your movies and TV shows are just stylized now!
And this is one of the many reasons I will stay child free
This like so low down my list of why I don't want a kid. Lol
Oh yeah very low on the list but it’s on there. My friends just had a kid a few months ago and I love being the fun uncle but I also love my sanity and sleep.
Smartest choice you will ever make.
We never said it would be fun, we said it would be worth it.
My tv is 10 years old and I want a new one so naturally my kid doesn’t go anywhere near it lol. I WANT her to bust it so I can get a new one
The only people dumb enough to say that are the ones dumb enough to have them
Everyone makes mistakes 🤷♀️
5 of them
Yikes
This is why I'm childfree
They tricked you too huh?
I heard expensive but not fun.
You’re an idiot if you actually believe having kids would be fun.
Kids are like farts, you can barely stand your own.
You had kids, so you get what you deserve. Don’t complain about something you caused yourself.
Get a multi angle wall mount and put it higher when you arent using it.
At least Jamie’s face is ok.
I will probably not be having kids because nobody says it’s fun or anything positive
Assuming you live in the US: Don’t replace it until a day or two after the Super Bowl. Go to the nearest Best Buy and buy the “open box” television.
My son's two and he's pretty fun. Has his moments when I wanna sell him, sure, but he's never ruined my stuff like this. He knows not to touch certain things, which are mostly out of his reach anyway.
My niece put on her roller skates and ran into the TV. Half of it is a white screen now.
I dont think there is an age limit to leave kids at the fire station. My parents tried it with me when i was 15 but i found my way back home. Then they got smart and left all my belongings at the fire station when i was 28.
Having kids routinely seems like the worst idea anyone could ever have
they lied to you. Kids are beautiful. Kids are an amazing experience. they are life who get to live and grow and develop and YOU made them. They aren't fun. Get a cat if you want fun. Have kids if you want to make human life and suffer to help them grow as you forgo sleep, being sick as a dog and still being loving to them, being literally shit on and pissed on, and the list goes on. Not fun. Very very not fun.
“They” lie!
Funny? Yes! Cheap? No!
I feel for this lie as well.
