As someone with a kid... I agree 100% w/ this. It's like when old people say "youth is wasted on the young"
Don't you dare waste your freedom! Don't answer your (relative) lack of responsibility with arbitrary and self imposed limits. Call in sick and fuck off to the mountains on a Wednesday and spark a J. Just because I can't doesn't mean I don't desperately want that for you.
Username confirms my impulse to state that I have a duty to eat mushrooms with my partner on major holidays. We did on TG last month and on Xmas day last year. No kids to get in the way and kitties are fucking soft and awesome.
