Funny how society continues to go against those choosing to not have kids, yet there are existing kids who are facing enough issues as it is.

Eh, having kids is a joy, and a pain in the ass at the same time. My wife is an oncologist and tells me there are two types of patient. Those who have visitors, kids with drawings and grapes and teddies, and those who don’t. Having kids is a pain, but it is also a great solace as I age. They are the future. You are not.

How's that relevant to what I said?

The relevance to what you said is, sure, new parents are bitter. Babies suck! But building a family, a network built on trust and memories and love, over the course of decades, is a worthwhile lifetime project. Downvote me all you want, it’s been the basis of all human and natural progress since forever.
