I Am Farter Father

|
By Adrian Tan
| The Adrian Tan Show
A young content creator once asked me about my thoughts on having kids. I paused for a long time. My short answer: don’t have. I have 4. Singapore’s TFR is now 0.87. I am, statistically, a freak. Not enough of us to move the needle, clearly. The reason I have 4 is genuinely stupid. I have an older sister I’m not on talking terms with. When we only had 2 kids, I was scared they’d turn out like that. So the solution, obviously, was to have more. We stopped at 4. Very sound logic.

A friend is someone who can hear the ugly, unedited version of your life and not flinch. Someone who doesn’t immediately try to fix you, reframe you, or pivot to their own story. Someone you can sit with and do absolutely nothing (no agenda, no occasion, no reason) and that’s enough. And when they need the same from you, you show up without being asked.

The ideas he’s pitching, though, are all service businesses that’ll eat his time whole. I didn’t say anything. But the math doesn’t add up.
