  Cost is like, towards the end of the list of why I wouldn’t have kids. It’s certainly there, but number 1 would probably be something like “I would never forgive myself for bringing another life into this shitty world unsolicited”.

    Also pretty up there is “I’d have to grow it inside my body, and then move it outside my body”.

    if you have so much money why do you think the world is so shit? legit question.

    like, just go spend it and enjoy it.

      Well, if you could point out to me where I said I “have so much money”, that’d be great.

      Otherwise one of us is going to look like an idiot.

        if you can afford a child with minimal impact to your lifestyle, you are quite wealthy.

      You can enjoy life if you abandon empathy. I’m enjoying the best nightclubs but I have to walk past a bunch of malnourished and un housed individuals

        feeling bad for homeless people isn’t empathy. it’s pity.

  There’s also a major ethical issue with bringing a child into this doomed world

  • TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    The world is only doomed if you’re poor.

    If you have a few million in the bank, it’s great and going to get even better.

      In some ways sure, but our current ecological trajectory is pointed towards issues even fabulous wealth will only be able to mitigate.

        it’s not, but keep telling yourself that because it makes you feel smart and important, no doubt.

      A few million? Nah, that is not being rich. A few billions, and then we’re talking. Then we are starting to get into private island and bunker in New Zealand money. A few millions is just a successful lawyer, not-so-small business owner or someone who inherited a house in a good part of the town. They may be more than a cancer diagnosis away from poverty, but not by much.

  It’s also a personal choice. No, I’m not talking about a person being gay, but a lot of people don’t mind being single. Or if they are partnered, they choose not to have any children. I personally fall in the former category.

    I’m single and pretty much every single woman I met doesn’t want kids.

    All they want is to spend their money on travel and food. I don’t get it personally, but man it’s the overwhelming thing they all care about above all else.

      I fully understand why no one would want to willingly subject themselves to women’s healthcare.

      • LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        In all fairness, if you have money, health care has never been better, women’s or otherwise. The “if you have money” is an issue, though.

        they aren’t poor. they are rich. they have the best healthcare and the best hospitals in the friggin’ world.

        your point would only make sense if it was in a rural area, which indeed, have awful healthcare outcomes.

  True.

  but also gay.
