Funny thing about oxytocin, it’s directly responsible for a great deal of human atrocity.

thegreatgarbo OP ,

Wow! Interesting. Also makes sense in the context of fostering the evolutionary adapted benefit of the mother forming an ‘in group’ bond with her baby.

Shamelessly stolen from reddit - I do not claim any responsibility for any accuracy, I simply grabbed the links posted there. Posting on mobile via Voyager, so formatting is hard, apologies for that

I enjoyed Portraits of Childfree Wealth - shkspr.mobi/…/book-review-portraits-of-childfree-…

The book is free and has a fairly realistic look at the (American) childfree experience.

TauZero , in Why are there no "adults only" places anymore?

Meh. It’s one thing to not like children, but here this seems to have been your real problem:

my normal 20 min wait it was almost a 2 hours wait. I just walked out.

We, uh… live in a society. You don’t get to feel entitled to be served at an advantage over other people. We all have to share all these natural resources and the labor of all these workers. But more people is not a bad thing. What’s next, you gonna complain that all these immigrants are clogging up the line to the drive through, or that all these old people are making you wait long time at the doctor’s office? Everyone is entitled to life. And in truth more people means more workers means more benefit to you and everyone on average.

Yes, you feel that this barber shop in particular was targeted towards adult audience with its shave service and whiskey bar, but apparently all those moms saw something useful in that service too, and more importantly they were all willing to pay for it. If this shop was so exclusive and upscale, then how could those kids even afford it? Yet they are customers too apparently.

I feel that way too sometimes, like when going to the movies - if I pay $20 for a ticket, how can all those kids in front of me cough up the money, when I remember paying $5 per movie as a kid myself? And yet they paid too, so we are all in there together. If I really didn’t want to share space with other people, I could go look for a $50 movie theater with individual “bedroom” cubicles. As could you. You could outspend all those kids and find an even more exclusive and expensive barber service, by appointment-only. I’m gonna tolerate the kids and keep my money. 😂

Book?

Just pick up a newspaper.
Read that and then tell me you still want to bring kids into this world.

Nice. I made the mistake of popping into KFC for a rice box yesterday. There was a kid screaming at the top of it’s lungs. Fortunately I had my IEMs with me!

Xanderill OP , in It takes a village

Such parents certainly exist but in my experience, most are grateful for help. Again, iny experience, discipline can be tricky but not usually isn’t too complicated. Worse case you can “tell on them”.

As my edit mentioned, I agree that modern, 1st world parenting has gotten away from such evolutionary roots, but I think “diametrically opposed” is overselling it. For example, most still send their kids to school.
