On this episode of Worst Millennials, I discussed the topic of kids.  Yes, that’s a pretty vague topic.  Which is why I decided to list pros and cons to having kids.  Obviously, I played this up for laughs (like I do every serious topic I seem to discuss).  I probably could’ve structured this episode a little bit better and focused on more specific aspects of having kids, but I had to throw something together to meet my self imposed deadline of releasing an episode every Wednesday.  Well, that self-imposed deadline wasn’t that big of a factor.  Let’s be honest, I’ve missed rough two to three months of self-imposed deadlines when it came to this show.

The topic was heavily inspired by the fact that almost every parent I know posted a picture of their kid before they went back to school.  It made actually miss my normal social media feed which usually consists of me re-tweeting myself, people airing their dirty laundry, and sports debates.

I go back and forth on wanting kids.  Some days, I wish I had a tiny being who actually thinks I don’t suck (at least until they get older).  It’d be nice to teach someone about old wrestling and have them actually be interested in it.  It’d be nice to teach someone how to throw a left hook or the joys of blowing into an N64 cartridge.   Other days, however, I think of how unbelievably selfish that sounds.  Having a kid pretty much because I’m lonely?!  What a dick move.  I also think of the financial burden having a kid brings.  I absolutely do not have the money to properly care for a child.  Of course, the pressure gets to me a little bit.  I see my friends start to settle down and actually plan to have a child.  Which is mind blowing to me, then I realize I’m almost 28.  My dad wants grandchildren while he can physically move around and play with them.  Woe is me, right?

Special thanks to my friends  Nate Solomon and Cortney Silva for providing sound bytes on the topic of children.
