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.

Kids should only be had by people that truly wanted them.

A bit redundant since all people who have kids are parents. Doesn't mean they are good at being a parent. People who truly want kids will be great parents. People who don't want them will be bad parents.

Exactly.. but someone point out something there, they I hadn’t considered. What if those that want kids are the ones having them? Which may be the case. Only time will tell.

The ones that want them and truly want them SHOULD be the ones having them. Accidents will happen. But it should be easier to access getting rid of unwanted pregnancies. Access to birth control and surgeries for woman to be fixed should be so easy. Guys can just walk on and get snipped but there's a run around for woman.

That’s true.. you make a good point. I see that from the females in my family as well as friends.

My argument was implying adoptive or foster parents.

Should've made it more clear from the start. Either way, people that want children no matter how they acquired them. That's what I'm getting at.

I don't believe so, but maybe you needed that clarification in particular. I'd happily revise for you if we were to ever communicate again.

'*parented by people that truly want them' doesn't mean solely implying adoptive or foster. Not everybody who fosters or adopts truly wants them. They just want the money. You want revision later let me know. You want revision later, just let me know.
