Eating a multi course breakfast like this in bed would be both gross and inconvenient, let’s not lie to ourselves.
It’s like using your laptop poolside. Seems cool but actually sucks ass.
Yep, the idea is far better than the reality.
Enjoy your breakfast in bed, sweetie. Then get the hell up so I can wash the sheets, because crumbs in the bed is absolutely nasty.
I put those puppies training pads in my bed so I can catch the syrup I drip and that sticks to my fingers after.
I’m okay with croissant crumbs on my pillow, it detracts from the feeling of my eye boogers.
People like you should be culled.
I can’t tell if the food is on the bed or on a table in front of the bed.
It looks like the room service cart is parked at the foot of the bed.
One thing that no one ever told me about being a parent was that it would be so much fun. Getting to be the one who introduces another human to everything doesn’t get old. Is it challenging? Of course, but everything in life has pros and cons. The bond I have with the little ones is something I’d never give up and life before was easy-mode. You do have to grow beyond being selfish though. Some people can’t (and that’s okay, they shouldn’t be parents). That’s what this picture makes me think.
I respect parents, it’s just not the lifestyle for me.
IMO: the reason I don’t want kids is because I can’t imagine myself saying: “Now, after a long day of work at my full-time job, I can’t wait to get home to my other, unpaid caretaker full-time job.” IMO being a good parent is hard work and I if I were to be a parent, I want to do it properly.
Yeah, I tell my kids all the time that without winter, summer just isn’t as enjoyable, and that even in late August and early September I’ll say, you know what, I’m ready to change it up. I don’t have this expectation of perfection from any facet of life, including my kids and the relationship I have with them. The bads and the goods are all part of the experience, and to me the experience is rewarding.
But I absolutely don’t fault someone for wanting perpetual summer. Summer is great.
Yea I’m sitting here thinking I’d love for my kid to go all Kevin Mccallister on this and just watch how excited they’d be.
Aww :)
While not everyone should have kids and I fully support people choosing not to have any…
You can have this and have kids. Just not every day. Unless you’re stupid wealthy and have a nanny or something.
But maybe I’m weird and am one of the few that actually like my kids and having them around. Sure, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but not so much that I want to escape them or anything.
How rich are you that you can have a kid for breakfast every day?
In this economy? Gotta be a billionaire at least.
Gotta be rich enough to run for public office, at least
Damn. Lol.
If you’re stupidly wealthy to have this daily? Kids are irrelevant.
Reality is, people chronically online are incapable of raising a child because the reality is, they can’t imagine caring for someone other than themselves.
Having a child to share your hobbies is awesome. You ever needed a coop buddy? They got you covered for years and years!
The people with this sentiment are largely jaded women who skipped kids and have to cope themselves and the next generation into sharing their spinster misery. It’s a tale as old as time lol. It’s this very weird phenomenon specifically with women to want to spread their misery to other women. It’s a hyper competitive behavior that seems to peak in their 40s/50s
Elon Musk’s next mistress be like:
I’ll stick with eating at a table.
Me, eating out a twinks ass in the bed: “suit yourself I guess”
I do not aspire to live in Versailles thank you. Just a normal house with like, 13 cats.
I’ve never understood childfree communities and posts. Is it because parents can’t shut up about their kids so you’re doing the same? Are your friends having children and you don’t like the change? Are you feeling pressure from family or society and rejecting it? Or shadenfreude for struggling parents?
I just can’t imagine it as something positive. It always looks like people are seething about something.
As a child free person myself, I see it as more it being annoyed from all the pro-child people. I’m a guy so my push back was minimal. My wife has had many people talking to her for years about…
how she will change her mind
What if a future husband want kids
Does your husband beat you and that’s why you don’t want kids
She had to go through over a decade of telling her doctor before she was able to get anything medical so prevent kids.
We have nieces and nephews. We love them. Kids are great, but just not for us. I think the people that post aggressively about child free probably had to go through a lot of BS like my wife did.
I’ll share my personal situation in return. I’m not a parent, but I’d like to be someday. And indeed I feel very anxious about losing my free time etc. That’s why I’m taking this a bit personally, these childfree posts are not helping me at. all. 😅
Thanks for sharing your experience! I can 100% understand and share how you both feel. It’s unacceptable to pressure someone into making choices that aren’t theirs. Not having a child is a personal decision that is not up to debate and should be accepted without justification.
But that’s what I’m talking about. Child free content on social networks appears like an expression pride, joy or contentment, but feels to me more like an expression of hurt. Instead of celebrating what people love in their childfree lives, it always looks to be somehow addressed to parents to taunt them or revel.
Idk. Maybe it’s like pride parades. People being oppressed for who they are want to openly proclaim their identities because it makes them feel good and I’m overthinking it.
Every time I see one of these posts, it reads like ‘I can’t have kids because that would get in the way of my wanking and smoking pot time’ I mean, it is all good but it’s never ‘my job is very demanding and it would stop me from being able to parent’ or something.
These posts are about having your freedom. That freedom includes careers, ambitions, sometimes luxury vacations. It’s also about how expensive it is to have & raise children. If I had children I would end up just like my neighbors, getting high the minute the kids are in bed and eating shit food. What a horrible life.
What is a horrible life? Being a parent?
The horrible life is being a shit parent. If you cannot handle children, don’t have them. No one needs a parent with a drug problem.
Ah, that makes sense.
I guess choosing to have a horrible life, it might be a mindset. I know parents that dread hanging out with their kids and leave them behind with grandma as often as they can to go to like fancy dinners or events. Maybe unplanned pregnancy before discussing things like that with your partner can lead to this kind of feeling of being stuck in life.
For us we go to events or dinners that we think our kid would enjoy. Like we recently went to Vegas and our kid loves buses and trains so we took the trams around and had a blast. It was the funnest trip to Vegas I’ve had and it was because different aspects if it became fun. The other part of it is enjoying a bunch of stuff over again that you liked as a kid. Tons of nostalgia, coming across old books I used to read but completely forgot about etc.
You sound like a brilliant parent, and you really nailed it on the nostalgia stuff. I have no idea why someone downvoted you, some people are very bitter about stuff.
Every time I see a comment like this it’s either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids…
I’d say ‘don’t reproduce’ but I guess we’re safe on that front.
They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they’re talking about…
You can read their name and where they’re from to draw complete picture of who they are. Sad reality. There’s a level of entitlement that grew like cancer and one day, they’ll face reality check.
What does this mean?
Have kids. I’ve gone and raced in 2 lemons races this year with 2 more to follow as well as well have a few trips with the family. My wife has a Noah khan concert coming up and a Boston trip later this year.
Kids changed things but I assure everyone, I probably have a more active and fun life than most the depressed doom scrollers on here without the kids 🤷♂️
The kids aren’t even that expensive once you get past daycare compared to a mortgage 🤷♂️.

So much this. It’s so hard to remain a miserable grinch when there’s a tiny human tugging on your limbs, trying to make you touch some actual grass and engage in an epic water gun battle.
You forgot about “I’m not willing to feed capitalism more slaves”
I’m willing to feed the revolution more fighters though
Ecofascists love this line.
Oops All Carbs: Breakfast Edition
My wife took my kids to a cafe yesterday and asked me if I wanted her to bring home a dessert, which I obviously said yes, who says no to that. I check out the menu and was surprised to see, under Desserts, Pancakes, Waffles, and French Toast. Was just happy to see someone putting them where they belong. I have no problem with any of them, but they are not breakfast food, they are dessert in disguise.
I went to London UK last year and there were so many places offering English afternoon tea. I tried one, and it was delicious, although I feel that calling it “tea” is a way of obscuring the fact that they just wanted to have dessert for lunch.
Floppy waffles? No deal
That’s the real issue here.
Eating jam near white bed sheets? No thank you!
Tacky interior and breakfast only consisting of sweets? No thank you
Yuck. That gold trim on the bed is awful.
Give me some takeout boxes on a shitty table over this any day.
It’s like as if Donald Trump actually treated the kids nice
That gives me nothing.
