Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I really don't know why people willingly have kids...let alone several. The last three days have been super annoying when I step outside. There is the quiet Chinese buffet place I walk to that I get some food and pick at it slowly while reading. In walks a family with 5 kids all one year apart. They are all screaming bloody murder. The parents dont even say one word to each other the entire HOUR I was there. Just...screaming and crying. They finally leave...and another family of four comes in. SAME EXACT THING. No words...just screaming. Both sets of parents just looked dead inside.

Then I go to work...kids be screaming and crying nearly constantly. Parents just tune it out.

My dad is all like "Oh hey you should have a girl so I can finally have a grand daughter" and I flat out told him I will never have a kid period. He seemed hurt by that but sorry I will not give up my happiness so he can have a 5th grandchild.

One problem is parents walking away from the parenting role. Also, a lot of parents actually don't know how to raise children. I was shocked by the amount of bad advice I was receiving from parents when I had my daughter.

From my experience, a lot of couples have children because they are expected to, not because they want to. Nobody prepares them to become parents. Especially at this modern age, parenting is completely different now than what it used to be.

Also, children who grew up during the pandemic were isolated from society and human interaction for too long. This negatively affected their behavior.

Knowing my luck, my workplace will either stay open despite the winds and dangerous conditions, or close and then call us employees back in to reopen.

Hope both of you stay safe and if your work calls you in tell them you'll be happy to if they send a boat your way.

i know i'm probably going to be working tomorrow night as well since i'm now working from home and I live close to Old Tampa Bay sooo we'll see how much flooding I get. Good luck though with your workplace. My dad works in Oldsmar and his shop is closing at two. So I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

The spider wasn't so bad to me, but Balteus ripped my face off for a while.
