I say this is too pessimistic. The biggest baby boom in history happened under the constant, active threat of nuclear annihilation. The future is not set in stone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even saying those are my views, I’m literally just recounting things I’ve been hearing more and more in recent years. How am I being pessimistic by relaying what I observe? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still say that this generation does see children more as a responsibility than older generation, who seemed to view reproduction as some sort of duty. Which I think explains why there was a baby boom even during the Cold War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I mean I like my 3 kids and all but I could have nicer things without them I guess? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I like being a parent, but my kids are kind and helpful. My wife is always being complemented for how well behaved our kids are. It’s pretty much a running joke amongst our friends who don’t yet have kids that if they do they are sending them to live with us for a few years to get trained right. It is nice to see the effort pay off when you feel so in the weeds when they are little. And my oldest is 14, so it’s kinda nice to have a kid at an age I remember very well. Easier to understand him than a three year old. He’s also doing interesting things now. This past week he had his mock trial and did a great job with it. He is so much smarter than I was at his age so it’s fun to see him do his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
