GENERAL OBSERVATION/SHITPOSTING: Why are toddlers attracted towards me?

- Let’s create a safe space - Mention *minimal* information such as you age, gender, etc to add context about you - Trolls be empathetic and think before you comment to someone.

Dual Income and No Kids sounds very attractive but advice from people in their late 20s and 30s is probably too biased to be considered sound advice. Wanted to understand how couples who took that decision in their 30s feel today. Do you regret it? Do you feel purposeless? Do you feel lonely? Do you feel the FOMO? And so on.

Age is a very controversial topic (which I find surprising, though I kinda understand why). Many people crib about growing up, and often remain too deep in the nostalgia of their youth - forever wishing to go back. Personally, I like growing older. I can see myself having improved significantly from how naïve I used to be. I’m not looking forward to creaky bones, degrading brain capacity and the eventual downfall of human civilisation (just speculating). But I feel that aging - and eventually dying - is what gives any sense of progression and conclusion to life. Would appreciate perspectives from others on Grapevine. What do you guys think? :) (Also, sorry if I ruined your day by randomly reminding you that you’re ageing. 🥲)

I'm in my early 30s and suddenly my social media is flooded with baby announcements. Meanwhile, I'm here enjoying my DINK (Dual Income No Kids) lifestyle. But lately, I can't shake this nagging feeling that I might be missing out on something important. Those who chose to be childfree, do you ever regret it? Parents, is it really as fulfilling as everyone says? How did you know you were ready?

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then. Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood. I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society. Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid. Now that child is gone and the dream has too. But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What is your plan B if you do not intend to marry?
