Getting bored.

Red_rambler · 2020-11-06T09:14:13+00:00

A lot of people are in poor shape. They can't handle having a job and having kids. A guy will usually drop extras because he's too tired. A lady will basically just be in the couch.

Most healthy people I know who have kids manage it all easily. I never had the problem due to always making time to keep very fit.

Poor kid though. The parents were likely both out of breath after conceiving it. I find it somehow tragic that a mediocre life even starts out through a mediocre conception.

They're not boring. They're barely hanging on. They've probably ended up as out of shape couch potatoes.

They aren't allowed to have fun and they know their lives are over.

Have you ever noticed that when you’re working on something monotonous over an extended period of time, the unwanted singularness of the pursuit seems to drown out everything else in your life?

People don’t exist to solely entertain you. They have responsibilities to their children. You need to take responsibility for your self.

I made an earlier post, but I forgot to mention 3 other reasons people become boring when they have kids:

They talk a lot about their kids and what their kids are doing. If you're not a parent yourself, this can be pretty boring.
Becoming a parent means you now get funneled down a very conventional life path, which in many ways is preset and predetermined. There is also a lot of cultural programming you get subjected to when you're a parent (about how to be, what to do, etc.). All of this tends to make you a more conformist, conventional thinker, one of the masses, and less interesting as an individual.
Your friends are generally in the same boat -- parents raising kids -- and so there's an echo chamber effect that amplifies groupthink and constricts the scope of your view. So you become more boring, particularly to anyone who's outside the group.

Because all of their mental energy is now going into taking care of their children. Raising kids takes a lot of time and energy. When you become a parent, you pretty much have to set your own life priorities aside. Your children are the focus, not you.

As a result, you become sort of stifled as an individual, because there is very little time for personal growth, self-oriented interests/hobbies, or learning. Everything gets focused externally, on the kids and wife, and your responsibilities as a husband and father. There is little energy leftover for you as an individual.

If you have kids, you don't have time to do anything interesting. Hobbies take time. Adventure takes time.

KneeDeepThought · 2020-11-06T16:01:31+00:00

because infants are incredibly fragile and time-consuming. it's impossible to remain interesting and adventurous when you're running on a few hours of sleep per night for several years while wrapping everything in foam padding to protect the child and keeping everything quiet so they and you can sleep.

Poor diet and addicted to social media.

Newborn babies are hard-wired to be the most selfish and demanding creatures on earth and they don't show any thanks. (Yeah, I know. Up until you have kids you think women had this all sewn up. No, they don't, but they run a close second.)

Most guys accept that they have to work and bring home the money, change the baby, get up in the middle of the night for anything the baby needs, do the laundry, calm down the wife, and let her decide when the two of you will have sex and it will always be how she wants .... the list gets longer.

That's because guys are hard-wired to protect their offspring to the point of death. Most guys don't realize they're going to have these feelings until the moment they hold their newborn baby for the first time. Throughout history, tribal warfare winners killed the vanquished boys and men and kept the women and girls for recreation, breeding stock, and to do the housework. (Yeah, some of the women fought back, but they got killed too, so the only women left are the ones that switched husbands with ease. The loyal fighters, well, over time, all those genes died with their owners. That's why rich guys can grab any woman by the pussy.)

So you think they're boring, but in fact, they're overwhelmed. These guys are exhausted, trying to cope with the changes, and probably not getting any good sex. (That pussy ain't getting any tighter what with a baby coming through.)

So it's not boredom that's the problem, and by the way, what are you doing to help? What he probably needs most is a good blowjob. How about being a real friend and helping out?

I wrote this for guys with a sense of humor. In a lockdown, creative writing is one of my hobbies.

time, money, energy. parents tend to have less of all of those.

If you're bored then you're boring. Somebody said that in a song, but it is true.

There are enough blood vessels in your body to stretch out to the moon (at least I've heard). So if you cant sit back and find something to find yourself in awe of, then go ahead and volunteer for that brain study.

Because kids are time and money suckers. They have to constantly care for them, so they can’t have as much fun.

I should have phrased it differently but, I was sleepy. Why do young women chose to get knocked up by losers? They become boring and raising someone else’s kid isn’t something I want to do.
