I believe @Emerald duplicated.

I LITERALLY duplicated. My children are like two little clones of me. I tend to joke that I reproduced asexually like a sea sponge does.

I'm curious if people with kids lean more right politically ( used to be centre) as opposed to people with no kids that have the luxury of leaning pro illegal immigration, pro gender fluidity ideology etc, as long as it's not directly affecting them or their family...

I'm a big old lefty with two kids

Everyone's a liberal until their first pay check and first child. After that it's god, guns and GOP. 

Something to ponder.

That's not my experience. I only shifted further left as I've had kids. And I've been working since a month after my 16th birthday.

Any stats to back that up?

LMAO what are these superior genes? Its because you embody both the masculine and feminine in one body so reproduction was like "ya we have all the genes we'll ever need right here".

Haha. It could very well be that.

But I think it's just the Wilkins genes in general that are strong. We're all a bunch of brown-haired, dimple-faced people with round eyes.

I do. But I don't consider myself a fan of Actualized. I used to check out Leo's content 10 years ago when I was into self-help and self-discovery, but I moved on eventually. These days I visit the forum occasionally out of interest to see how folks are doing and to show some respect to my younger self, but I must say I often feel this is not my place to be because the demographic here is so vastly different than myself, different needs, different interests. It's still a chance to learn something beyond my bubble, though, which I enjoy even if I don't agree with everything.

Just the one. 15 Year old.

No, since it's not true.

It is true, at least in the west, that people become more right when older, or at least are young people more left. It could just be that people hold about the same opinion over time, what i considdered left and right slowly changes over time

I have a daughter

[sholomar]

I still want them. Have to set goals and aggressively pursue with remaining time, so here we go. Feels like the right time.  On another note, you need a 55,555th post celebration thread, Leo.

2 kiddos.

And 3 dogs. 

When the daughter in law comes it's 5 dogs

Only one kid is still in the house though.

My childhood was terrible so therefore no. I am taking care of the neglected inner child who I was and I'm doing a pretty good job of that.

Hopefully will within the year.

We have almost more pets than children in first world countries

 But there is nothing wrong with this. Pets make life more meaningful and beautiful. 

[mmKay]

I adopted my inner child, does that count ?

[Vibes]

God forbid, for now at least. I learned a lot by living with my sister's family for a few weeks to know that having kids is like adding layers of limitations, emotional pain, physical burden and responsibilities to your life. That, in bad days. Obviously depends on your emotional mastery and consciousness in a given day...

In good days, you get to take care of someone, teach them, play with them, get a companion, be around Innocence and openness, and also to learn by observation...

For me right now is not worth the pain, as I can spend time (not too much) with nephews and get the good and not too much of the bad of children.
