I really don’t say to this to be mean, but would Bob and Barbs lives have been better had they simply never had Chris? Obviously it would not be and for us and we’d never have the hilarity and content of The worlds OG lolcow saga to enjoy, but what about them? I can’t honestly think of a single way having another child when Bob was already old and Barb was 40 benefitted them in any way? All he did was provide to be a financial burden to them through most of his adult life, he leeched off his father and stole money to buy stupid games, he never contributed to the house he lived in any significant way.
He was probably difficult to be around with his childish interests and never tried to take an interest in Bobs more cultured likes or attempts to try and educate his son in any way. He was nothing but a financial burden to his parents his whole life and well you could argue he benefitted Barb being her carer (oh dear) and only true person who ’loved’

her in anyway. Look at the horrific disaster it led to?
Can anyone think of any genuine joy or significant way he benefitted to Bob and Barbs life in any way? I honestly struggle to find even one reason why having Chris was a good idea for them after all that he took from them.
