Like yes kids are nice but most people can’t afford them so it’s nice to have friends with one but not have one yourself. Pets are the affordable version of kids today for Millennials and Gen Z and plants are now the more affordable plants.

Like the number of people I know who literally throw big actual birthday parties for their dogs that they have friends invited and everything is awesome but also very telling of our changing view of having children and our economic condition.

Like me? I’m never planning on having kids. I would much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle. Long term it’s cheaper, better for The environment and will never tell you that it hates you or ask you to pay for college.

I would love to help watch my friends kids in the future though and be the fun uncle/friend that helps teach them to skateboard and surf and stuff.

Also BIG reason I will never have kids in the US- I refuse to raise kids in a country that values fucking guns over children’s lives.

I know far too many parents who have had their kids killed by gun violence. No one should ever feel that kind of pain. Ever

To be clear I am not telling you what you should or should not do. Deciding to have children or not is your choice. I’m just expressing my own view on it.
