it's true, so many of us come from homes where a parent regretted having kids and it sent the message

@yousufleads the harder you work the less time and energy there is to raise children

@ >life should just be an endless loop of struggle where you never rest and enjoy anything and you want to bring children into this?

@dixonhill1108 birth rate is plummeting in poor countries too except for a few places in Africa and Middle East

@harrisonmccoll1093 people who have kids are selfish too, you are bringing life into this world for your own benefit
2
another to include is not wanting to repeat childhood trauma by bringing kids into an unstable home with parents who hate eachother and often their own kids as well

@edheldude this is not true, you are assuming kids who have religous/conservative parents will automatically adopt their beliefs which has been proven false

@deanrobb9220 higher income means little if the cost of living is still too high

birth control and women being able to live independently means less children will be born. Some see this as a bad thing but it's not, it means less children being born into unloving homes= less trauma in this world

@maam-yj8ph kids in the system are a perfect example of what happens to people born into regretful parent situations but pro-natalists always overlook this to tell ppl they will always be happy after they have the children which feeds into this cycle

@lucaspm98 they are selling those 1950's "starter homes" in my area for over a million dollars. People bought those homes in their 20's, now 20 somethings can only aspire to live in their car

@beefsupereme you can find data online for cost of living and everything except luxury goods was more affordable in the 1950's

the irony is that even if they get the top 10% the divorce rate is still high since status and looks do not ensure actual compatibility

@rathelmmc3194 most of the resources are hoarded by the rich, the more people the richer the rich get

@localwhackhead do you think kids can quit their jobs to take care of you in old age? There is a reason nursing homes exist and full of people who HAD kids

@eddie-ni5ox most of the planet is not habital and you also need a source of water to form a civilization

@FiddleSticks800 not true since having kids does not equate to your kids reproducing and from data every new generation has been having less kids since the boomers/birth control. This idea that your DNA will live forever is all ego

@polloman15 it's better to regret not having kids then regret having them, A LOT of us grew up with parents who treated us as burdens but had kids to fill voids in their life (literal buyers remorse)

@KD400_ lots of old people have animals as companions even if they did have kids; do you think kids will want to live with you forever? You have 2-3 decades max of raising kids unless you are a foster parent
