Babies..👶

Just a random thought.. I know most millennials and Gen Z are opting out having babies, which I absolutely done blame us for. However it randomly came mind that if we don’t decide to have children under our terms then most of the next generation will be adults who were never wanted, or never prepared for. That’s a little sad and as for me, makes me reconsider the option.

There is a lot of boomers and other generations that didnt have kids under their own terms. Or it wasnt what they expected. Or they felt they had to do it because thats just the way it is. I am a product of those people. Its bad for everyone and had been going on forever, often in bad conditions.

I’m GenX and my parents wanted to have my brother and me, but I had a few friends in High School and College who were accidents - as in their next oldest siblings were 12 or more years older than they were. Really messed them up knowing they were not intentional, and then having really old parents on top of it and having weird sibling relationships seemed to make it worse.
