TikToker Sparks Debate: Is Having Kids Not Enjoyable?

3 min read

In recent years, social media platforms like TikTok have become popular for people to share their thoughts, experiences, and opinions on various topics. One recent trend that has caught the attention of many is the debate over whether being a parent is enjoyable. This debate was sparked by a TikToker who shared her thoughts about when to have kids, which generated a lot of discussion and controversy.

The decision of when to have kids is a complex one that many people struggle with. While some may believe that having kids earlier in life will allow them to enjoy their later years, others may prefer to wait until they have more life experience and stability.

Recently, a TikToker named @baileerainwater went viral for her video exploring this topic. In the video, she first suggests that having kids in her early 20s will allow her to enjoy her 40s. However, she quickly changes her mind and suggests that waiting until her 30s will allow her to enjoy her 20s more fully.

@baileerainwater Are we trying to delay something not enjoyable? Are we trying to get it over with? What are we doing? Is having kids not enjoyable? #childfree #youngmom #oldmom #youngdad #olddad #parentsoftiktok #dink #havingkidsmustbehard #latetwenties #thirtiestok ♬ original sound – baileerainwater

 

The video raises an important question: Is having kids not enjoyable? While some people may find parenting incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, others may struggle with the demands and expectations placed upon them. This is a perfectly normal and valid feeling to have. And potential parents need to consider their feelings and circumstances before deciding when to have children.

So, is being a parent not enjoyable? 

The answer to this question is complicated. It depends on various factors, including individual circumstances, personality traits, and cultural expectations. For some people, parenting can be incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. They find fulfilment in watching their child grow, learn, and develop. For others, however, parenting can be a stressful and exhausting experience. Especially if they are dealing with financial strain, relationship problems, or health issues.

Ultimately, there is no one “right” time to have kids. The decision should be based on various factors, including personal readiness, financial stability, and relationship status. It’s also important to remember that having kids is a lifelong commitment. And it’s important to be prepared for the challenges and responsibilities that come with parenting.

While the decision of when to have kids can be a difficult one. It’s important to consider one’s feelings and circumstances. Whether you choose to have kids earlier or later in life, it’s essential to be prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of parenting. And while parenting may not always be enjoyable, it can be a gratifying and fulfilling experience for those who are ready for it.
