I hope you are enjoying ranting about made-up stereotypes of people in this city who are in their 30s and 40s that have no statistical merit.
How many people in said age range do you actually know? Maybe the people in the circles you run in are just shallow losers. That's hardly our fault.
I'm in my mid-30s and am not about to "off myself at my own hand" and don't need your stupid kids to make art or lattes for me.
No need to get yourself worked into a self-righteous lather about everyone not having kids. Not having kids is a perfectly acceptable choice, but apparently being married with children is your sole means of identity, so I don't blame you for feeling insecure about the whole thing.

WRONG. I DO have health insurance. So there.

So you assume that Portland 30/40-somethings won't have kids but our siblings will? How do you know which siblings from a family are even reading this? This is another one of those asinine "let's rile up the 'hipsters'" comments that should probably just be ignored.
GOD DAMN YOU KIDS AND YOUR "FUN"

Geyser, if you are content with your life then why are you so upset with this guy's asinine judgements? I'm also in my 30's and without kids but I have my own place, a good job with insurance, and create my own shitty art. Fuck him.

You're dead inside, aren't you?

Nothing screams "I'm satisfied with my life and my choices" like a grown ass man throwing a hissy fit over everyone who chose a different path, and insisting upon telling them all the ways they are living their life wrong.

No one cares.

I, Anon is a lot easier to enjoy if you read all these from the POV of a shitty mid-70's stand-up comic or lounge singer.

I just plan on waiting until my boyfriend's millionaire grandparents die. Then I'll marry him. Then divorce him and take him for half he's worth even though I've never done anything to earn it.

Oh, and we already have a three-year old together, so there's that.

You can tell by Anon's outrage that he regrets his decision and envies those who didn't fall into the same trap of crap dayjob/crap kids/crap wife that we are all told our entire lives we should want. I love that I didn't buy into that lie, I'm glad I didn't bother with college and spent my time experimenting with hallucinogens, getting tattoos, hanging out with open minded people. I was even happier when I started my own business. Yes, it was hard at first, but I now employ 3 people and live very comfortably and don't have to work some lame dayjob for some other chump.

Sucks you made a bad decision. It's understandable you'd want to fire off an I Anon letter to vent. We're hear to listen and feel your pain. Vent. You're committed to your boring life, there's no options left for you -- don't hate those of us who didn't make the same mistake.

here*! (damn lsd flashback!)

But in all seriousness, Anon: I understand the sentiment of "Grow the hell up already!", but it's a bit presumptuous to think that just because people chose a different life from you that their quality of life isn't as good as yours. Their life isn't your problem, why do you care so much?

err.. *different path*

Shaaaaame on you Kay B, Shaaaaaame on you.

Oh, is the person who used to come here to vent again peeping? just give me the heads up to call the x-men. Really. Thanks.

Meh!

@tcraighenry

Aw, showing your emotional (im)maturity by bringing residual feelings and attitude over our previous disagreement into another post? Precious.

Thanks TC.

man, just when i think i'm ready to get married, i read a rant like this and realize what a bitter and unhappy asshole it will turn me into. thank you for writing this i anon, it saved me a thousand bucks on an engagement ring

@KB

STILL. NO.1.CURR

Isn't a 30/40 something technically less than a year old? A little early to be getting busy. Don't forget to reduce your fractions.

GAH! Another Breeder I, Anonymous. This dude is one of the countless hoard that has a photo album of his brats on his Smartphone and forces hapless victims like me to look at the pictures of the snot-nosed spawn over business lunch at some shit hole of his choosing -- usually Stanfords or Red Robin. God, I hate that part of my job. THESE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING BORING

OP is trying to validate his existence to individuals he supposedly has no respect for. You failed at convincing me.
