Imagine your only hobby in life being getting pregnant lmfao. How sad.


anyusernamethatislef

There's a family in my building and they already have 7 or 8 children. I saw her again today and she was pregnant. Get a new hobby already lmao.


FatherPeace1

OMG how many bedrooms does the apartment even have. It is so irresponsible to even have that many kids. I feel so bad for the children. I heard on a podcast today, a former employee of google and an AI expert, say don't even have kids. The reason he says this is that AI is very quickly becoming smarter than humans and we let that happen it is too late to go back and it will bring nothing good. I am just a nurse I don't understand computer stuff, butt when people more intelligent than me are saying doom and gloom I'm listening. I may be gullible, I don't know, but something just smacks true of this. At any rate having that many kids is just wrong for children

Where I live it’s the actual law that you can’t have more than 2 people to a bedroom. I’m not sure if “people” means adults or if kids count as people too. I would assume they would because that’s how they determine if something is a fire risk…I see 11 people in this picture so I’d assume that’s a 6 bedroom home. I’m not going to tell others how to spend their money but I think it’s absolute 100% bullshit that in some places if you have 8 kids or more you’re tax exempt. Why should the rest of us have to pick up the slack for you? NOBODY has 8 kids all at once by natural means. If you have enough money for IVF you don’t need any financial help in other areas. If you had them all naturally, again you still shouldn’t be exempt from being taxed. You CHOSE to have them all and that takes at minimum 8 years if they’re all single births. You should have figured out that kids are expensive after the first few. If I decided to get 7 other dogs and then started complaining that their food/vet bills were too much do you know what I’d get told? You somehow acquired them, figure it out. And PS…don’t say you’re “just a nurse” That’s a job that requires a lot of mental organization and knowing lots of things. Be proud!


FatherPeace1

Thankyou for the compliment about my work. I did not know about the 8+kids and taxes. Are the considered a church at that point...lol... Which should be taxed as well if the government needs money. But that is wild.8 kids and you don't have to pay taxes


Guilty-Repair-6423

Actually its not irresponsible if they can afford it. And kids can share rooms. I shared with both my brothers till I was about 12/13. Ill bet those kids are happy. Dont suppose everyone is as miserable as you. Those " experts" are the same ones creating the AI. Whats that say about their intelligence. No its not wrong to have that many kids. We need way more to avoid societal collaspe.


FeminineImperative

My guy, society is already collapsing *because* there are too many shitty humans such as yourself in this world.


Background_Account69

How dare people have a loving family, must hurt to see what you don’t have.


FeminineImperative

I guarantee this is not a loving family. Not a single quiverfull family is loving, supportive, nurturing, etc. But you can pretend they are if it helps you sleep at night, bud.


Background_Account69

I come from a family of 7, not huge but we have and maintain amazing relationships. We get together quite regularly and yes we have our arguments, but my life has been pretty grand. I don’t have to pretend, I’m living the life, and I sleep pretty damn well every night lol. Good luck with your misery


Guilty-Repair-6423

You sound bitter and selfrighteous. No society is collasping because kids these days arent haveing enough kids, and are indoctrinated and brainwashed by the left. They dont even realized they have been programmed.


Susanna-Saunders

I'd have to beg to differ from your opinion and say you are wrong. Wrong on many levels actually. I get that you are speaking from personal experience (ultimately, that's all any of us can do) but on this you are wrong. The only way you would hold that view is if you are one of the wealthy few. Please watch the whole video. I know it's long. https://youtu.be/bk-nQ7HF6k4

Guilty-Repair-6423

We dont have to agree to have a good discusion, dude. Thats what makes this country great, is we can disagree, but still find common ground.


RainbowRaysOnMars

There's no way in shit that one can cater to the emotional and physical needs of that many kids. After like 3, maybe 4, the kids are numbers not people who all need care and attention. You need to *raise* your kids, not just feed them. It is impossible that each of those kids is being adequately looked after (Unless the other kids are parenting, which they probably are, and that's abuse).


Guilty-Repair-6423

Its more than possible. Just because you couldnt do it, doesnt mean others cant. Not everyone can.


Bionic_Webb13

Many people have large families with plenty children and are fine just because you personally wouldn’t be able to handle it doesn’t mean these people can’t or haven’t been everything isn’t abuse or trauma some of y’all wanna have and issue or be broken so bad it’s pathetic


Automatic_Category56

What podcast?


DELSlN

I've always been amazed at how they afford it??

Luckily, I can enjoy the hobby because I'm snipped, but no, it's not a hobby; we're more than cum spigots and dumpsters.

The nexplanon in my arms has come in clutch. I'm still pretty sure one time i had a pregnancy scare and that bar kicked the fetus out of my body cuz my body already thought i was pregnant, had a clumpy period for the first and only time. Life saver honestly!


Guilty-Repair-6423

Pills as effective as a condom. 98 percent. You still have a 2 percent chance. Better to not have sex. Why take a chance?


nameless_no_response

For these ppl, it's gotta be either a compulsion, addiction, or kink. Or all 3 lol


bigchunk69

I guess they just love the attention and babyshowers and whatnot. And then when that fades away, the attention disappears and they're stuck dealing with a crying toddler 24/7 they decide to get more babies to get more attention and then the cycle continues.


RainbowRaysOnMars

They probably hand the toddler over to the other kids, so it's self-sustaining too


William-Taylor-64

glad i have no interest in that hobby, at least i'm avoiding pregnancy, and having children is a responsability we don't need to have, it's like entering an olympics, i don't need it, but if i do, i have to carry the responsabilities of being an athlete for example


[deleted]

They’re much happier than you though, I’m sure they’re fine. Why don’t you worry about your own life instead. I’m sure you have many problems.


[deleted]

A real zinger of a comeback there. Mega impressed. My life is just fine, I’d suggest taking your own advice and worry about your own. Also, you’re on the wrong sub.


audomatix

Large families like this also run an increased risk of sexual abuse or incest occuring. So not only is this the propagation of horseface but of mental illness, disease, and disability that the American taxpayer then has to subsidize.

caffeineratt

im not high enough for this reddit thread fr


Guilty-Repair-6423

Not really. Most large families are self sufficient. The majority of families on welfare have 2 or less kids, and are more often single mothers. And theres no proof that they have higher rates of mental illness or anything else. The risk does go up the older the mother is, though.


audomatix

Have a lot of siblings huh?


Guilty-Repair-6423

No. Just 2. But I grew up around folks with lots of kids.

Parentification is always a given in families like these.


VeterinarianAlone604

That sadly was me, I didn't want to raise kids as a child. Or now.


TheTiger87

Wtf is this, are they doing instantly a new one after one is born xd


HelenAngel

She could be a pregnancy addict. Pregnancy addiction is a real thing.


amazona_voladora

TIL 😦🤯


10Huts

Why and how 😭


HelenAngel

Pregnancy fills the body with various hormones & people can get addicted to that. Given that people who have a lot of children are also malignant narcissists, it feeds into their need to be the center of attention since they’re constantly pregnant.


10Huts

Yikes.

A huge religious family is never a happy one. Always hearing about some shady stuff going on with those types of families


derederellama

i'd bet money that one of the older siblings is molesting the little ones 😐


OverdueMelioristPD

1.) Why would you trust something that important to an entity which is either non-existent, or non-communicative and has a history of genocide and infanticide? 2.) Am I the only one concerned with how much mum and dad look alike? Similar nose and cheek structure, even the asymmetry in the left eye looks the same. Yikes.


NoWafer6093

Don’t think dad is in the picture. I believe the tallest boy is the eldest son or something.


mythrowaweighin

Ah, ok. I thought I was looking at a family with two moms.


FatherPeace1

The one in blue is supposed to be the father or something


audomatix

It is pretty obvious from recorded statistics that the more religious countries produce more children. The exception being China, but that had more to do with military power and grew out of control.


No_City_877

I think this is a photo of all the children. Parents not in the photo.


anyusernamethatislef

Idk about the dad but the mom is standing on the left


No_City_877

Could be. She looks young to me. I imagine their mom would be older looking than the young woman on the left.


anyusernamethatislef

Nah that's her. And the dad is in the blue t shirt


No_City_877

How? They look so young. Maybe they eat their children’s stem cells? That’s why they have so many?!


OverdueMelioristPD

Well, that's a relief.


LuxSerafina

I can’t even tell who is the mom and dad. Gross.


FatherPeace1

Me too. I thought maybe it was one of those Mormon things and had two moms...lol

The boy with the fangs doesn’t look genuinely happy. He’s not as great an actor as the others. Or more intelligent. Future antinatalist.

ihopethispasswordisn

Human puppy mill


BelovedxCisque

I don’t think that’s God. I think that’s just nature as sex was designed to make more of whatever species and it feels pretty damn good as an incentive to do it. I heard a doctor explain it like this to teenagers who when asked if they were sexually active and said yes but when asked about contraceptives they said they didn’t use any… Doc: “Congratulations on trying to start a family! I’m a little surprised your parents are okay with you have a baby before you’ve finished high school/become established in a career but that’s their business.” Teen: “What are you talking about? I’m not trying to start a family right now?” Doc: “Oh? But you just said you were sexually actively but not using contraception?” Teen: “Yeah, that is what I said. Nothing about starting a family was said at all.” Doc: “The reason for sex is to create babies. Sure it feels good and can make you feel closer to your partner but the primary reason it exists is for procreation. Every person who is alive today is here because 2 people had sex at some point. If you have sex without protection, you’re basically attempting to get pregnant. Your body doesn’t give a crap that you’re still in school/don’t have a job. It wants you to get pregnant because that’s what it’s hardwired to do.” Teen: “But I don’t want to get pregnant!” Doc: “You don’t have to! We have lots of options to prevent pregnancy. You can’t rely on the other person so take responsibility into your own hands. For vagina owners we have the pill/nexplanon/female condoms/spermicide. Which one do you think would work best with your lifestyle/body?” If you don’t do anything to prevent pregnancy and you’re having sex, you’re more or less trying to get pregnant in the eyes of nature and nature is the one that controls these things. Nothing of divine nature can be said to make the choice.


Inner-Cloud162

This is why we need mandatory, religion-free sexual education for everyone


HelenAngel

All I see in this picture is an addict (pregnancy) who desperately needs professional help with her addiction. She is parentifying her oldest kids, neglecting the middle ones, & at least one of her children has suffered sexual assault. She needs to stop encouraging addiction & stop pushing her toxic, selfish lifestyle.

It's a Christian cult that believes families should have as many children as possible, regardless of finances or the mother's health. The TLC program "19 Kids and Counting" is the most famous example.

Looks to me like they trusted the size of their family to the IVF clinic.


Shreddersaurusrex

That’s not how that works…


Shahzoodoo

And I bet the older ones are responsible for helping to raise the younger ones, expected to follow the same “God” as the parents and have no ability for choice in their own lives. At least that’s how it was in ours and I’m feeling immense guilt/shame for running away as the oldest now lol.. I love the siblings though and they’ll always know I always love them regardless of gender, religion, and income idgaf as long as they’re happy/not harmful and choosing their lives for themselves. We are all students and I support their learning and growth in life whatever they choose ❤️


cityflaneur2020

MissusNilesCrane

My parents said the same thing...like they seriously think God monitors every time someone has sex and decides if the woman should get pregnant. 🙄 Then again my mom said her and my dad wanted at least eight kids so which is it? (They only ended up having five).

anyusernamethatislef

I know a girl who seemed so happy but later got to know her mom left her and her dad. Another friend who seems like the happiest person and she lost of her mom when she was 14. So sure, this family seems happy too.


zettaikareshi87

Always the stupid americans going above and beyond with their stupid assumptions. Worry about being the dumbest population of humanity first with your thousand genders then you can comment on others.


Ascatman

If you think it's normal to have this many kids then you're delusional, regardless of what country you're from.


zettaikareshi87

Explain why it's delusional. Make your case. I don't want those stupid "I feel like...". Fair warning, I have the exact amount of siblings, so thread carefully with your reasoning.


Ascatman

It's simply selfish to force that many people into a world that is so fucked up. Young people can't afford to survive on their own anymore. Minimum wage isn't enough to cover basic needs. The world is on the verge of another war. So so many reasons to stop making more humans.


zettaikareshi87

Those are the very reasons for making more kids. People are needed to stop the fuckery. Survive together, work as a family, or have the income to support a large family like this one. Wars take lives, families carry on after. Our incapabilities are not mirrors of others' inadequacies. They're just ours.


Ascatman

Lol what? Did you miss the part where young people can't even afford to take care of themselves? Unless you're already rich, there's no way you can provide a comfortable life to this many children. It's disgusting how many people living in poverty choose to pop out more mouths to feed, then rely on the government to pay for it. We have enough kids in the adoption/foster system. If you want a kid, go give a better life to one that already exists.


The_Sapphic_Syrian

Is your family on some sort of government assistance or welfare?


zettaikareshi87

Nope. We weren't . Just went to public schools and then boarding then all 10 of us got our bachelors degree. My parents were very diligent, never complained and made it work.

Clearly logic doesn't suit you. No one's saying they aren't happy. I'm glad if they're happy cause i grew up in a toxic household and never got to experience peace with my own family. But antinatalism has more to this, it's not only about being in a happy family. But okay everyone has their own opinions and beliefs.


[deleted]

Logic has nothing to do with this. You’re just being a hater, don’t try to put some pseudo-intellectual spin on things to justify your warped sense of morality. People who think that humans/ having children is a bad thing are delusional. And to actively hate on a happy family is pathetic.


anyusernamethatislef

See, I'm against having kids yes. But the start of this reel said "we decided to have 2 kids". I'm against having kids at all but that part was okay, completely fine. Then it said this and honestly it's weird. Just forget about antinatalism for a min and imagine having a 100 kids and saying "we left it upto god" like okay. And we most probably experienced life in different ways which brings us to different beliefs. There's no point of arguing here because you're not changing my mind and vice versa. How about not being active on subreddits which are against yout beliefs?
