Who of you want or don't want children? I am just curious because most people that I talk to don't seem to want it. I mean leftist

  • Partner and I recently had our first kid, and it's the best thing we've ever done. Also the most stressful.

    We did wait though until our mid thirties, and that seems to be more normal now. I can't imagine having a kid when my parents did, I don't know how people can afford that now.

    • Should more socialists in the USA enroll in Higher Education, considering the massive cost and student debt?

  • Just to expand on the cheaper option- there really is no such thing in the US. I went to my local poor univerity that I rode my bike to each day while still living with my parents - total cost for 4 years was around 20k. I think the average is like 40k without paying for housing

    Everybody in the US is stuck with student debt. No poor person is even considering high tier universities- those are exclusively for rich people and people who get full ride scholarships.

    Community college is cheaper but then you can't get a bachelor's degree from a community college.

    • I am not as fast as my peers when it comes to my job. I keep underperforming. I feel so stupid 😢

  • I was just put on a performance improvement plan myself a couple weeks ago (looking for other jobs since). It sucks, and I still struggle with this myself, but trying to remember that my ability to perform in this awful system is not a reflection of my character
