Nobody should ever have kids to advance their brain dead political agenda.
Also you should reconsider your positions if you find yourself agreeing with an extremist sub that literally hates kids.
I dont agree with that sub at all. I am a parent.
But the question “if i should bring a child in this world” is one i thought long and hard over so i recognize some people why people take such an extreme stance.
Condemning others for making different choices is something i will never approve on principle. But just cause that sub is particularly toxic doesn’t invalidate otherwise legit cynicism.
The fact that i worried so much about my child’s future prospects being critical of society and my own means of being a parent is what eventually made me decide that i should, because i realized if your not afraid of becoming a parent then your not ready to become a parent.
