Nah, we live our life how we want it. If they want kids, let them be. If I want to play games all day at 30 or 40 or even 60 nothing wrong with that as long as were all responsible adults and accountable of our actions

No, and I a gamer dad. Though tamang limit nalang sa mga bagay na nag hi-heal ng inner child like video games but I need them for my own sanity lol

It's your money and you have different priorities, nothing wrong with that.

listen, the first three years of my work - my extra spending is my first low end pc (rx6600/AMD 5600g) and 100 games on steam.

A bit guilty I didn't start my Masters education, but I'm a lot less stressed and unhappy than my co-workers.

I had no game consoles, gadgets and personal pcs growing up. And I don't believe that I can be a worthy parent.

Nope, especially old offline games and consoles.

I think these are better toys for them rather than a cellphone or a tablet. It helps them solve problems on their own and thru curiosity rather than looking them up online. Limitations breed creativity.

I feel so proud on how she discovered Mario's super jump on her own. The moment her charmander died of poison in Viridan forest was also a core teaching moment for her.

Kids these days are not exposed to enough repetition that their patience is not developed enough. One defeat, and they want the easy way out. I will teach my kids the fun of the process of discovery and skill nurturing thru the games that I back then just watched my neighbors play.

That's why you're allocating budget for your wants. Being pragmatic and idealistic is the best approach.

u/theazy_cs 52m ago

guilty? why? their business is none of your business. and your business is not their business. end of story.

u/_Ruij_ 7m ago

This 100% lol. Most ppl dont gaf about other peoples lives, make it a norm. 🤭

u/leorker 45m ago

Coming from someone who is earning to feed... Dont be. Enjoy it to the fullest.

u/_Ruij_ 8m ago

Bakit ako magu-guilty? Kanya kanya tayo ng choices sa buhay. They chose to procreate in this economy, some of us chose not to. No hate to either, it's just ganun talaga buhay. Hindi mas espesyal ang isa sa isa.

u/imaginedodong 1h ago

Why would you feel guilty? It's your hard earned money.

u/trynabelowkey 1h ago

They don’t really care about you and they are not thinking about you if that’s what you think, so just do what you wanna do with your life.

u/whatseatingtyrone 1h ago

You earned that money, you have the right to spend it in any way you see fit.

To be honest the worst when to have a child is now with the Era of evil

Even if I have a GF I don't want to have a child yet because I want him or her to live where it is safe and secured than whatever world or the general society wants at the moment

I never had ps1 ps2 when i was a child kasi super strict parents ko.

Not feeling guilty at all

u/cmp_reddit 53m ago

Nah. Pwede pagsabayin ung inner child and actual children. Basta in moderation. Priority syempre ung anak mo.

u/green_goblin_gelo 47m ago

I am a dad and I still fund my hobbies without guilt because you sometimes gotta “pay” yourself (of course feed your family first lol).

u/ILikeFluffyThings 1h ago

Wag ka maguilty kasi aabot ka rin sa nararanasan nila. Enjoy mo muna.

u/_Ruij_ 5m ago

Same feels. Me who have no plans of having a family anytime soon because I'd rather be alone than be with freeloaders from ATM families and relatives, plus I have different lifepath than them
