I think most people simply don’t appreciate what having a child is and what a massive responsibility it is. Bringing another human being into this world is a gift, one that you should be expected to nurture and love no matter what.

The problem is that many believe that a child is simply an extension of oneself and can be manipulated and contorted into whatever the parent wants. A child is not you, a child is not a free workforce, or laborer. Too many people who do not truly understand what they are bringing into this world are parents and thats why theres so many flawed individuals.

I think most people shouldnt have children and especially right now with the way the worlds headed but to say having children is completely wrong is immensely stupid.

(in addition i myself am abstaining from having children because i dont want the responsibility and i find the lil shits annoying.)

I think you're talking out of your own ass, if you believe that most parents don't know all that.

mmmmm no id say youre talking out of your own ass.

Many parents when you truly get down to it seem to think the most important part of being a parent is spreading their genes and maintaining a bloodline.

I truly mean it when I say most parents dont realize how profound having a kid truly is. Otherwise i truly believe people take longer before having kid when it comes to finding another person to raise a kid with, considering what mental illnesses, or diseases that lurk in your dna.

I also think abortion wouldnt be that much of an issue if people consider when its truly the right time to raise a child.

So nah suck it brah.

WTF are you talking about? I don't know a single parent that does that.

I'll have to play the "you're no parent, so you simply have no idea card" here, since it's obviously like that.
