I’d be pissed if I was born and my parents were 70

90

Yeah but if they’re paying for this at 70, they’re probably loaded, and you’ll have a large inheritance by the time you’re 20

Graduate from college, pay off the debt, aaand... that's it. Still can't afford a house. It'll take a large inheritance just to live like people did a few generations before.

I teach elementary school. You would not believe how many old guys, late 60s through 70s, have 5-8 year old children.

It’s insane

What's really insane is that those guys found women to marry who were still young enough to have kids. We're talking an age gap of at LEAST 20 years, if not 30 or more. I'm 76, and if I had a 10-year-old to take care of right now I'd probably die. And I'm not joking at all. Taking out the garbage is about all I can handle. (Emphysema is not fun, people.)

Have to explain to the store clerk you are looking for baby diapers and not adult? That’s gotta be hell every time

“Okay sir, your total for the diapers is $44.87”

“Oh, I have a coupon.”

“Thank you… sir, this is for adult diapers. This will not apply to these size 3 Pampers cruisers.”

“That reminds me! I’ll be right back. I’m still using that coupon.”

I’m gonna be 30 this year, and my daughter turns 2 the month before. Young parents exist!
