Still debating if that was a good decision on their part.

Also, they had me in the 90s when they still thought there was a future and were told that the economy would only get better and better.

Also, they were terrible people that made my life hell so they're maybe not the best example

Not exactly. My parents were both born in the 60s and lived in an entirely different world when they had me

I’m personally probably never going to have kids because 1) I haven’t had a partner in awhile and 2) I don’t like the argument that “things were bad in the past and people still had kids” because you’re really just rolling the dice at that point. I also don’t buy the alpha bro argument that humans are meant to reproduce as if humans aren’t creatures with the capacity to make decisions about what is best. Plus, kids are becoming a luxury with the way everything continues to get more expensive with no signs of the bourgeois being kept in check. So naturally, things will only continue to get worse.

I don’t understand why people are obsessed with their genes and can’t at least consider adopting but I also realize capitalism has fucked that alternative too.
