COVID and the housing market

It's a personality thing.

Family and parenthood are infinitely complex

You gotta have your biological(mostly applies to women) psychological, financial ducks in a row to start a family

Timing is also a factor,
I know some dudes that are doing it late(in their 40s) that are decent parents, but would have been TERRIBLE if they became parents in their 20s.
 
Oh how I wish I had kids in my early 30s....so much more energy to keep up with them.

Cousin got married and had kids at 18....everyone was terrified. Now...parents in late 30s with teenaged kids. They chill and hangout together. Personally I’d love to have that at a younger age. But I won’t. Well have different things, but being closer in age won’t be one of them.

My younger brother was 45 when he had his first kid. Has a second one coming along the way now.

He's going to be in his mid-60s when they both hit the problematic teenage years.

On the one hand, he's more financially stable. But yeah, energy-wise, I dunno...

Also, the generation gap will be huge.

I'm old enough. Some high school friends have kids going to post-secondary and on the other end, I know some people that will be retired before their kids graduate high-school. Just so weird.

I forgot to say work 2 full time jobs, diapers are expensive.
 
No matter how crap my day is.....a 75lb idiotic furball sitting on your lap demanding attention, licking your face makes it all go away. Plus I can put the dogs in a kennel...plus they aren't fussy about their food....and they don't need RESPs.

And yes...I'm completely aware of what they were licking before they licked my face and it's still not as gross as a kid with a diaper full of cack slithering across my floor! :)

I’ve got an uncanny ability to GTFO of the room when I smell stinky diapers....

I have a cat with digestive issues...it craps maybe twice a week. When it does it's turds are human sized and will make us air the house for hours even when it's -20 outside. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a rescue and had been returned twice (we know why now) it would have been on kijiji years ago!

It also licks walls for no reason we can work out.

It also rearranges any paintings or photos on walls by tapping them until they aren't level anymore. Drives me nuts.

It also runs it's claws over hot air registers to make a noise like an untuned harp played by someone having a seizure. Also drives me nuts.

He's trying. The GLI is for sale (although hopefully the buyer doesn't see the posts here about the constant warranty repairs).

THE DUMB car has another recall for the ECM due to emissions service

VW might have cheated again ^_^

But yes I am trying :)

Need the house or a stable rental (which I am finding impossible)
