In response to "I've been disappointing them forever. I'm the bad kid. -- nm" by loosilu

You know what your problem is? You care what they think.

Don't get me wrong I do as well. The guilt just goes away after an hour and I don't really care.

I stopped trying to impress them and started living my life in my 20s. My Step-Sister is more successful money/kids/marriage, but damn she is one stressed out chick.

I on the other hand have less toys, no kids, no wife, but I am at a very happy point in my life. I really am having fun right now. I can just get in the car and go somewhere. No plans needed.

Your Sister chose that life, you didn't. You shouldn't feel any guilt for doing what you want to do. People that don't have kids are giving up things as well. We will never get to feel that love for something more than yourself. But we gain freedom from not having the responsibility. What your parents are asking you to do is have the work of having kids without having the kids. Yeah, you love them. As I love my niece and nephew. But it's not the parent bond that parents have.

Stay at home and look for your job. Enjoy your life. And see your Sister and her kids when you want to.

This is your guilt removing post.
