I had a brief moment of broodiness in my late 20s. Now, I’m just like, thanks but no thanks. We’d be good parents, but we just don’t want it. I’d rather spend my time and money on me. Seeing my friends’ kids (good kids too) just reinforces that feeling. They’re cute and all, but I’m not interested. And I’m sure…
Can I add:
Ive been with Mrs Dollars for 8 years (not married, no plans to do so) and holy shit I am fucking over nosy ass people. While she still wants them Im to the point of not wanting them simply to spite all the fake-caring ass people who come at me with the “But we NEED black men like you to be parents”. No, we dont.
I have no desire to have children. Not even an inch. I don’t even feel the uterine quivers, whenever I see a cute/well-behaved child. I am too picky... In mates (long story short: I don’t want a “sperm donor” type of co-parent for my kids). The dumbest thing I keep on hearing is: “Don’t worry, you’ll change your mind,…
Cream of Wheat with honey and butter is a walk through my childhood. Good. To. Go.

Grits, like many grains and starches, are actually just a cheese and butter delivery vector. Lots of cracked pepper is also good. Save the sugar for dessert.
What are we going to do with Paris Denard? He’s got nowhere to go y’all.
Let’s add Greg “Say It With Ya Chest” Popovich just because of this
The revolution demands that you say that shit to our faces.
Corey, this was brilliant. I am at work reading and wanted to fall out laughing thru out the article. *Daps*
You’re right! I wrote a similar response but I’m not sure if it published. Lots of research evidence to support your statement.
Your essay missed the mark . The unique interplay of your chemical makeup, heredity, stress level, life circumstance, age, gender and a host of other factors makes advice dispensing a super bad idea. You said: “...But here’s what he needs: therapy and meds.Let me say it one more time: therapy and meds. I know I don’t…
