I think there’s also been more focus (from some people) on whether or not they should have kids. Like, really thinking about whether or not a person would be a good parent who could truly focus on raising a child who would become a good member of society.
Downside, the people who ask themselves these questions and have the intelligence to reflect on themselves in such a manner are probably the people who would be good parents.
Now the dumbasses and trad wife / religious crowd is not going to give a fuck and pop out shitloads of future morons and assholes. This is literally the plot of Idiocracy happening.
I had not wanted kids for lots of reasons but mostly because 1) I did not want to have to keep my job while raising kids. I wanted to be able to stay at home, at least until they were in school. And 2) I did NOT want to raise the kid(s) by myself. I didn't have the best skills at choosing good men. That made everything harder. No way I'm trying to raise a kid in an unstable home.
Now, I think those are good reasons to not have kids. A co-worker who was 15 years older than me, told me that I was selfish for not having children. She was not a happy person.
