How to Hate Having Kids
First, be judgemental
towards parents
take away
as much of their
liberty
as possible
Second, start young
with your own
parents and friends
Don’t help raise
your siblings
even if all cultures
from the start
like so many insects
and intelligent mammals
are wise to do it
and this poison
will shrivel your nest

How often I have heard of women who decided not to have children because of memories of caring for tribes of siblings when not yet adults in days pre birth control.

Without a vision the people perish. If the helping children resent their role, they may curse themselves with that idea. First, they’ll hurt somebody like their mom - with comments - then they’ll double down and limit themselves. Forgetting how life goes on. Dumb kids.
