    That was my point. People with nothing to be happy about often use their children as substitutes.

      Oh, you’re simply shitting on parents because they decided to become parents. Got it.

        No, I’m shitting on parents who had kids because they thought the kids would fix their problems.

          Lol you don’t need to have kids to be happy/successful and proud of your life.

          You do if you have nothing to feel happy or successful about.

          Reading comprehension is just fucking gone these days, isn’t it?

              Their original statement doesn’t specify that they’re shitting on specific types of parents, they simply answered that parents have kids when they don’t feel happy about anything.

                You’re correct, they didn’t explicitly spell it out for you. Because that’s not how sarcasm works. You comprehended it incorrectly.

                  Reading sarcasm from text is notoriously difficult and with the amount of hatred towards women/parents and children on this site, well, sometimes I’m going to read it wrong. So be it.

                    Then why are you doubling down after you’ve been informed it was sarcasm?

                    You want my comment to be serious so you have something to be upset about.
