You’re getting downvoted, but I kinda agree with you. I think if someone is ready and has hope for the future, sure, it makes sense for them to have a kid. I think a lot of people are aware the world sucks and the future of that child may be uncertain/bleek, but many people have kids cause it’s “the next step” in adulting or THEY really want to be a parent. The obvious hope is that the future will figure it out. I would like to think most aren’t being overly selfish, just following the flow without actually putting the thought into it till the kiddo is already here.
My husband and I want kids, but the thought of bringing someone into this current world seems cruel from my perspective… Like, the kindest thing I could do for a future child of my own womb would be to just not have them. (Plus, ew pregnancy) We’ve been looking into adoption from foster care because those kiddos are already here and need a supportive home.
