      Ha, now that is a fun predicament.

      I have a friend that had a daughter a few years back, he regretted it from day 1 as he basically lost his old life and wasn’t a fan of his new one. He has hated it at worst, tolerated it at best for the last few years. And yet, he has said to me “I think I am going insane, I hate ever moment of this… so why do I want another kid?!”

      A lot of close friends with kids all say the same thing, they love their kids and they take great care of them, but if they knew then what they know now and could go back in time, they would make sure it would never happen.

      One couple had their third about 2 years back and made sure that they would not have a forth because they were already financial strained. About 6 months after their third was born we were out and the mother turn to the father and says “I really want a forth now!” a brief pause then “And that is why past me was smart because past me stopped me from doing that.”

      Biology is gonna do its thing.

      I have wondered if “breeding kink” is really a kink in the way we usually use the term or it is just our animal instincts compelling us to reproduce which some people supress better than others.
