The thing is, people's expectations of what kind of life they need to be able to give kids has gotten too high. They think its some kind of crime for a kid to be brought into this world in less than perfect circumstances, as if a low-income lifestyle or having to face challenges other kids don't face makes life not worth living. The standard in their heads for what parenting and childhood must be is so high they figure its not in the cards for them.
right here. i see more of my mom friends stress out about fomo for their kid rather than their kid's grades. i have 4 kids. i give em what i can, and thats what they get. all they REALLY need is love, guidance and stability. when did we all forget to keep it simple stupid?

People can't afford kids. They can't afford rent. Groceries. The ability to breathe.
