Both can be true. At the same time

All those kid-negative comments are true. My 3 kids are noisy, tiring and expensive. But … now I’m very wary of the time when they’ll leave the house. They fill it with life and joy. Yes those laughters are magical.

Yeah. It’s like nobody wants to acknowledge positive side

That’s because these people don’t have kids and not a fucking clue about life. X)

Naybe that’s for the better, no?
I mean, who needs children that may grow up bitter and with no emotional connection becuase the parents werent into kids in the first place

Probably better than the alternatives. I’m not about to force anybody that doesn’t want any children to have some. Just don’t understand the hate against the well meaning advice to consider there are emotional benefits that are hard to explain to people that don’t have children. I understand its unsolicited and often not welcome, but its like if you tell a friend who is about to do something obviously (to you) very stupid. You risk telling them out of a place of genuine care. They still retain to right to do as they please, but there is no need to be an asshole about it.

It is true that some people should not have kids, but I wouldn’t aspire to be one of those people.

It’s more that we’ve got a mass media that’s poisoned it’s young people against any kind of social cohesion.
Don’t get married. Don’t have kids. Don’t waste time with friends. Don’t talk to your parents. Just Hustle. Just Grind. Until you get rich enough to quit your job, retreat into your luxury space, and gorge yourself on treats until you die.

Kids are seen as a luxury, reserved for the leisure class, or a trap leveraged by evil spouses to take your money.
Anti-natalism is just the end philosophy of a society that is fully alienated from itself. Any other people in your life is just parasites sucking happiness from your increasingly scarce free time. Your only goal should be Hustle And Grind, until you have enough money to totally self-isolate.
