Sorta related topic to those with fear of raising kids in a dangerous world, when was the world safe to have kids?
Now it’s wild to think about not too long ago, parents would go in with the mindset not all of their children would make it and that was completely normal. Thankfully now (or for now) our kids won’t loose their legs from a disease like polio or a factory accident, so we don’t need to worry about them being in harms way. I think what is happening currently, is the younger generations are at a time where living conditions are starting to go down in the core and that completely shatters our vision of what our kids future would look like.
While a dangerous world won’t stop us from having kids, it’ll take a bit for gen z to get used to the prospect of a dangerous future and especially as we mature into adulthood and away from being terminally online. Also the nuclear family isn’t as embedded in heads as time progresses so it’s hard to say what “families” would look like.
If you feel like you shouldn’t have kids then don’t have kids, its understandable. But don’t be those people who judge others for having children in a dangerous world, cause you and I wouldn’t be here if that was the end all be all decision for humanity.
