  I always thought this was a weird take. Like yeah I get being a parent is hard and with the world today it’s just not financially fair to a kid for most people to try.

  But dude, kids are hilarious and fun m, if you know the right ones.

  What this is, is the cascading effect of fewer not-shitty people (or decent people in shitty situations) having kids. Then, everyone sees this maladjusted children and even fewer people want to give it a go.

  I mean it’s not anyone’s choice but theirs if they want to have em or even like em. But ironically it’s almost like accelerationism when we all collectively swear off trying.

    Ngl the “hilarious and fun” part mainly comes from them being literal superhumans.

    Funny? Hell yeah! But I would NOT trust myself to raise this thing lmao.

    Nah, I’d say there’s a fair few who were confused about how that happened.

    We should always strive to do better than our parents.

    Lol that’s a mighty big assumption I’m guessing born of privilege! Let me assure you, plenty of people are having kids and hate them.
