why do people have children? goddamn!

aite ima get a lil ranty hea':

-so they can keep up with the joneses. you're not anyone unless you've got the perfect spouse and children.

-for selfish reasons: the novelty of a mini-me, continuing bloodlines, a safety net when you're a geriatric

-to bestow the world with the next einstein or newton (though the odds of that are low)

is anyone else sick of hearing people patting themselves on their backs for having children? as if it's some kind of contribution to society? it's very annoying to hear people complain about how hard parenthood is. if they can't handle it, they should not have had em in the first place! personally, i don't care at all if anonymous #123 shits out another human being.

obviously this isnt directed to any 4chaners since having children would require some kind of copulation. so here's a more relevant topic: do you feel obliged to do whatever your parents say because they gave you the gift of life?

I am a teacher and I don't "care" about my students feelings.  Today even, one pathetic fuck comes up and tells me about how he has to miss class because his grandpa is sick and he has to fly to california.  I just told him to stop giving me the sob story because it wasn't going to affect my decision.  I let him make up the assignment but not because he has problems.

I am not a wonder teacher.  I hate school, but I love my research (I'm a grad student).  I wouldn't want to be doing anything else, but teaching right now is secondary and whiny kids who don't do their homework and ask "how can I pass this course" just need to GTFO.
