Your Spotify Wrapped becomes Baby Shark

Or you can just play your music. Babies and kids still like regular music. That's what existed before the hyper commercialized crap came into existence. Kids just listened to what their parents listened too, and as they grew older would start seeking out new stuff.

guitar or mountain bike or whatever gets ebayed to make room for a nursery,

Are you confusing a guitar with a whole band? They don't take up a whole room last I checked. You can just, you know, move the guitar.

And I don't know why you're storing your mountain bike inside in a room but if you can't find somewhere else to place a muddy bike than indoors I'm a bedroom, then yeah, I think it's safe to say you can't afford a kid at the moment.

travel plans become fiction

You can still travel with a baby. Should you? Well, not on planes. But after a year, you can leave them with a relative / trusted person.

Someone who has issues these badly with kids like you tho shouldn't have kids, so we do agree on that however.

This is a weirdly hostile comment... That comment describes parenting experiences for a lot of parents. Is that the absolute reality of everyone with kids? Of course not, but kids consuming a lot of time and resources is absolutely true.

Yeah my dad just played his music on long car rides even when we were pretty young. Mountain bike you can just get a kids trailer for that. Once they get a bit older they can have their own bike.

And start a huge fight every time you want to go on a bike with them, so after a few years you just give up and watch your body deteriorate as you turn into a couch potato.
