I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity’s future is gloom too.

    I don’t have any but want 2 I think. A few years ago I didn’t want any but I guess I got older

    God no. I can’t imagine a more horrific punishment than to be childless.

    I wish we had more than the two we have, but my wife and I started late. My daughter (12) sometimes asks how many children she could realistically have… a good sign that she hasn’t been tainted by whatever mental illness it is that the “childfree” people have.

      I have had depression for many years and never understood why anyone would want to set children into this terrible world. In hindsight it’s kinda funny, I have since changed my mind.

    Humanity’s future is gloom too.

    Hasn’t been the message for the last 2000 years?

    The current era is better to raise children than many other eras where human rights didn’t existed. Although it depends on which society too. Many of those worries are very subjective. Having or not having children ultimately is a personal choice* (except when is not e.g. Rape) and neither is wrong. Whichever you chose you will miss the benefits of the other. Both have pros and cons.
