Woman lists 418 reasons why you should never have kids, and we get it�
Though the joys of parenthood are clear, a woman has created a list of 418 reasons why you should never have kids, and honestly, she might have a point.
Much like getting a dog, having a baby is a massive commitment that must be thoroughly considered before signing up. While there are countless resources available in the modern age, including updated parenting tactics approved by science, it’s still no easy task. Maybe spend that money and time on a sunny vacation instead?
The most expansive list of reasons you shouldn’t have kids
For literal generations, women were told that their primary duty was to birth and raise their husband’s kids. Thankfully, we seem to be edging past that archaic thinking, or at least some of us are. ]
An emerging trend among Gen Z women is the passionate denial of such responsibilities. Childless people are tired of parents signing up for the responsibility, only to moan, complain, and demand the world work around their decision.
The trend is particularly prevalent on TikTok, where Rylee (@its.mee.rylee) shocked followers with her list of reasons she shouldn’t have kids. It’s 418 points strong, with more being added constantly.
Some of our particular favorites include:
- I hate children
- Theyre loud
- Theyre messy
- I dont have the patience
- They might be stupid
- They could be serial killers
- They might be boring
- I have to get rid of spiders and bugs for THEM
- The world will probably be uninhabitable by the time theyre actually able to enjoy it
- I could have sextuplets
Though the list is obviously meant in good spirits, Rylee had some pretty solid reasons for not having kids. Honestly, she might be onto something.
In one line she pointed out that the world is probably going to be over by the time they are an adult. With microplastics pervading every inch of life, and the world expected to be burning by 2050, it’s arguably more irresponsible to bring kids into the world than not.
A general theme across the 418-point list was cleanliness or lack thereof. No amount of dazzling DIY hacks is going to get baby vomit out of your favorite jumper.
Have a few more for the road:
- Theyre so BRATTY. And not in a good way
- Constantly digging at the uterus
- Demanding to sit in laps during meals
- Fetuses can throw tantrums
- Screaming directly into your ear
- Not being able to understand the babble phase
- Paul Dolans research states that single, childless women are happier, healthier, and live longer
- Pets are better
- I cant even handle kids for 4 hours so how could I handle them for 24 hours a day
‘As someone with kids, this list could be so much longer’
Rylee might soon have to quit her day job as many TikTok users flooded the comments section with further suggestions, continued embellishments, and even calls for her to walk through each and every line.
Shockingly, even parents jumped on the bandwagon as they admitted to needing this list before conceiving their own.
One person said: “When people ask me, now I can tell them to pick a number between 1-402 thank youuuuu.”
“You have to help them with homework my worst nightmare I cant learn common core math,” another wrote, while a third added, “Can you just put this on a poster so I can put it on my wall?”
