I was able to retain time and money for gaming and other hobbies by having a vasectomy.
Edit: Typo
Yup, there's plenty of time to have fun if you don't have to manage lil' ones. Not saying people who want kids shouldn't get them, but moreso that people who don't necessarily want them and just see it as something people have to do should consider a childless lifestyle. It's better for everyone that way.
Same. I would love to see a global societal shift towards viewing not having children as a perfectly normal thing to do.
Yeah, I had plenty of time and money for gaming and other hobbies before having little mischievous halflings. Now at least two thirds of my free time goes into them instead of me. Would I love more me time, absolutely. But I also love them and I feel incredibly privileged to have the time that I can spend on them and I can't fathom not wanting to spend time with them.
But this is more about letting potential future parents know that children are a fucking huge commitment and you better have your own life sorted because you won't have time to fix your shit later. Kids are post-campaign content. You finish your main story and then if you're looking for some challenging content, you get kids. Don't get kids during your main story because then they become your main story.
Referring to kids, quite aptly, as "post-campaign content" /chefskiss
