For real.
Just going to like Walmart or the grocery store and seeing kids screaming and throwing tantrums is like an IRL billboard for condoms.

Unfortunately, the billboard should have had an impact on the parents of these kids because they obviously can't raise a behaving child.
I get everyone is different but there are ways to raise a child to behave without either creating a little terrorist or resort to child abuse.
obvious inevitable exceptions aside, i'm pretty sure it can be boiled down to "don't reward them for being a shithead, don't raise your voice needlessly, and don't punish them per se (like, don't go out of your way to make them feel bad, just let them fuck about and find out. They have a tantrum and break a toy or device? yeah tough shit buddy, you'll get a new one but only after you've had some time to ruminate on how this happened.)"
My God if you can't handle a 2 year olds tantrum you should not have a kid.
I can't, and I won't. Thanks
if, as an 'adult', you routinely have tantrums of a two-year-old, you probably shouldn't be breeding either.
Did you bite the onion? What are you contributing here?
So you understood the satirical article
This is making fun of rational people making rational decisions not to have kids. Missed the mark completely this time, the onion.
E: Are you people dense enough that you're upvoting the onion's mockery of "not having children" when that's a perfectly valid stance in today's world? Wake the fuck up.
Have you considered that maybe satire isn't for you?
I've come here for the sad rants about kids being terrible from people who were probably terrible kids.
