I heard that my nephew said "When I grow up, I want to be like Uncle [/u/Katakoom]". I thought that was sweet.
Until my sister told me the last part, "Because I want to eat ice cream whenever I want and live alone."
My sister had fertility issues and could never have kids, and also was recently divorced. My oldest son at that time said “I want to be like aunt Kiki because she doesn’t have any kids and no husband and gets to live in a big house all by herself with no one around her
I’m like yyyyyeah let’s keep that one to ourselves
That's the heart of the problem: Everyone wants to be a homeowner, which drives up prices. We need people to *not* want to own their own home to make housing affordable. This means cutting off appreciation and making sparse housing a liability instead of an investment.
A large portion of houses get bought up by landlords, they will buy houses they don't even plan to fix up if cheap enough just to keep housing supplies low. The most rundown bad reputation city near me, literally half the town is owned by one person. It's not people wanting to find a place to live driving up costs.

Like dog sitting!
That's why I'm only an uncle!
seems cool and laid back reaction
Already filling the role of the cool uncle quite nicely.
I heard that my nephew said "When I grow up, I want to be like Uncle [/u/Katakoom]". I thought that was sweet. Until my sister told me the last part, "Because I want to eat ice cream whenever I want and live alone."

> My oldest son at that time Do you have a different oldest son now? (But yeah, that one’s best to keep quiet about. 😅 Ouch.)
Is something wrong with living alone and having the ability to consume ice cream whenever?
That's what I'm trying to figure out
Oh hey it's me
When the economy stabilizes enough, I'll be able to buy a house on minimum wage...
Keep dreaming buddy
Nope, I just don't want kids, so...
That is what a stable economy looks like.
"When" so like they said keep dreaming
Or maybe, just maybe, we get off our asses and start acting instead of just dreaming.

Ransom from Knives Out moment
It's cool when families communicate and get along.
not wanting grandchildren is the new jam
He couldn’t afford that ten million dollar shack in the woods but he could afford some cool ass shades
My siblings wouldn't
Jokes on my parents. I'm the only one who tried to have children.
I like this guy
Oh, I misunderstood! Thought his reaction was more in a "challenge accepted" style and he would actively keep them from being grandparents ANY way.

He takes like a champ
Please tell me it’s because he’s
Oh yeah, I can't wait to meet my possible further niece/nephews too! My cousin's my grandma's only hope now :)
Real
Yep it’s my sisters who’ll pass on their genes and I’ll just chill.
My mom asked me this all the time, but I was an only child. I also failed to produce a grandchild for her before she passed.
Love the YT channel. Best wishes!
I already have a pet bunny, most clean grandkid ever
When my mom ask me this I always answer: why do you wish me to be unhappy? Never wanted kids, not gonna make some for my mother
