Sacrifice was not the good word, and the problem wasn’t only abouy gym, with all of my speech i think that u understand me, some Peoples have kids and continue to have friends, it depend the life that u make, i hope that if i make a family One day, the life will always come to my house, friends and kids of my friends, the routine of work and only see my family, non merci.
Even spend a lot of time in work, even if i like my job, is not for me personally and for the majority of peoples they see more the coworker than their family by the way… So is disgusting also
Is more the school who conditioning your childs than yourself, or some garden baby, I don’t talk about u trainfor pain, but in general.
Somehow, the “joy of parenthood” makes up for months/years of sleep deprivation, 18 years of extra expenses, sacrificing hobbies, emotional turmoil and potential irreversible relationship damage
oh yeah, if you’re a woman, there’s also 9 months of torture that ends with either surgery or an internal wound the size of a grapefruit and sometimes a lifetime of incontinence
Anna give the life can be a beautiful thing also, just it depends with who and how. Some peoples that i know travel a lot with their kids around the world, some of them go enjoy and meet friends and so on, it depend your partner and what u want. But most peoples spend to much time for work, make futur slave like them, i really don’t want that
But i also can understand ur view, anna read Krishnamurti, i think that u will maybe like, peace, have a good evening or day i dtk, he was interesting to get all of your opinion, thank
You’re looking at a very select set of elements, likely taken from a singular experience and using it to justify a view you already agree with (your own).
All sentimentality aside, it’s an evolutionary imperative for our species. Not everyone wants babies, not everyone even wants sex or companionship - but for many people, it’s there.
I would be too if I was trying to tell myself about something I don’t know about!
Keep an open mind. Life is long and full of surprises. Good ones.
Of course, so that you can have something to chew on- horrible things too. Terrifying accidents and acts of malice. Drano in whiskey bottles and heart attacks while sleeping.
There are those moments every parent has, sometimes pretty often, that just leave you laughing and glad to be there.
Like when we’re playing Mario world and my kid looks at me with a combo of disdain, superiority, and amusement and says “Dad, you’re such a noob. You can’t…”.
It’s not that difficult. You’ll always make time for things you want to do. People with families have reached the highest levels of performance in athletics and bodybuilding and plenty of people without families don’t.
I certainly had more difficulties before becoming a father but my various job have always taken away more from training than family. I’ve had jobs where 70 hours was a low week. But I’ve almost always found time to train no matter the circumstances. I’ve found myself becoming much more efficient with my time in the gym. I remember in college training without a care in the world. Long warmups, discussions between sets with the boys, etc. Now I just get in and get straight to the zone. I time everything and I’m always doing something.
It’s not hard for me to do push-ups with my kid on my back (she loves it) or knock out pull-ups at a playground while she goes down the slide. Training is simply part of what I am.
By no means should you start a family if you don’t want to, but if you’re concerned about training getting in the way that’s not accurate in the slightest. You’ll figure it out trust me.
I can gain weight on 2500 calories. I typically eat 2000 - 2500 each day. When I eat less than 2000, I force myself to eat because I know people on this site will call me out if they hear how little I eat. Sometimes I go up to 2800. I’m 6’5” 240lbs at 51. I’ve gained 25lbs in the last two years. I have a high metabolism. My food choices are a lot of lean protein. I can lose weight at 2000 - 2200 calories if I add cardio.
I’m not trying to convince anyone of my viewpoint, I’m genuinely confused
