Did your children ask to have that responsibility foisted upon them before they were born? Shouldn’t those of us who are alive already be working to fix things before bringing a new life into this world?
Get lost… My kids are bright, happy, creative and already better persons than I could ever have dreamed of. And I’m right their with them trying to make the world a little better with my everyday actions. Nobody’s asking you to make children, don’t tell people how to live their life.
“I’ve never asked to be born” is some “I’m 14 and this is deep” level stuff. But why do you think I didn’t had more kids? Anyway thanks, they should be all good, I’m working hard for that.
I’m super happy with my family. I just wish I didn’t hesitate that much to have children when I was younger. I was worried about money, time, politics, etc but now I realize it’s so worth it. We are not considering adoption at this point, we are surrounded by other kids from family and friends, we just wished we started a bit younger and have maybe 2 more. So my advice basically is not to hesitate if you’re thinking about it, it’s 100% worth it.
I just wish I’ve had more kids. It’s a shitty world but children makes it worth the ride.
But if it’s a shitty world, why are you bringing new people into it? They will have to deal with it as well.
Because we’re gonna need not shitty people if we ever want to fix it. I still have hope.

I never told you how to live your life. I just asked questions that it seems you never asked yourself before having kids.
I hope your kids do well and have great lives despite the state of the world.

Someone mentioned adoption; I also want to mention fostering, volunteering for Big Brother/Big Sister, becoming a CASA, etc.
I know those aren’t the same thing, but sometimes there are multiple ways to meet a need :)
