like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

I got snipped before having kids. You have no idea how many people think I'm an alien for this.
Like, if I came out as trans and chose to have a reassignment, they'd be more understanding.
I truly believe I was called to be a father (among other things). I love my kids more than I thought possible.
But my god it can be draining. Whenever someone says they don't want kids or aren't sure if they do or not, I completely understand. No one should ever be "talked into" having kids.
