Kids! (lemmy.world)

I don't have any, I don't want any. But I work with them as part of my job, sometimes all the way down to babies, and damn if I don't love 'em all the same.

I guess it's just nice to have the best of both worlds: the freedom of childfree life and the benefit of being able to play with them, because they are genuinely adorable and fun.

(I realize people probably don't care; I'm mostly posting to post in the name of generating more fediverse content)

I am not a fan of being around kids, but I love hearing about when child free people do! Humanity has always relied on adults caring for kids who are not their own. Looking at remaining hunter-gatherer societies, generally, everyone is every child's parent. Kids grow up healthier this way.

Go you!!
