    Lul I liked how this one rapidly shifted from "I need internet to work" to "I need internet to abuse as a surrogate parent/babysitter".

    For every decision, from pasta sauce to school activities to college that is a major factor.

    C'mon, Gabe, you should have at least three different ways to connect to the internet from home.

    Parenting as a service - getting a babysitter for one night is more flexible than having a full time nanny

    Transport as a service - this passenger train has been running along the same rails for 200 years. Bad luck if you want to go somewhere else

    I mean, he works for the cable company. He's used to lying. Does it all the time.

    That internet? It ain't comin' back for a while, man. Make alternative arrangements.

    I mean any parent that doesn't admit they have regretted their children at least once is lying.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Look I wanted to not scare the childless people. But like today my son was complaining we wouldn't buy him a minecraft Mod and like boy no, god damn it you get so many things.

    Sounds like I dodged a bullet with the whole kid thing. And the only cost was dying alone and forgotten someday in the nursing home. But hey, I suppose that could happen even if I did have kids. ;)

    Every time a "regret having kids" comment comes up I'm reminded of the time we had a babysitter panicking when we got home because our then four year old son had done "something" to the toaster. "What did he do to it?" "I DON'T KNOW I CAN'T FIND IT!"

    He turned seven this year and we have not found that toaster. It was a nice toaster, and I hate the one we got to replace it.

    That reminds me of Suicide Kings, but that was a completely different usage of a toaster

    Having been in serious relationships with both a doctor and an elder care provider, I can promise you it does. People's kids put them in homes and never visit all time.

    In 50 years somebody is going to be remodeling that house and find the toaster behind some pristine drywall half embedded into a stud.

    I discussed this with my wife but she was unconvinced it would get us out toaster back.

    Watch it turn out he traded it for a 9.8 graded copy of Incredible Hulk #181 (First appearance of Wolverine)

    Which he then drew on in crayon.
