I’m not an anti-natalist nor am I planning to have children, but I am generally interested if there is a good reason to have children.

It is obvious that capitalism makes it hard to raise kids but even without capitalism, is there a good reason to bring new humans to earth?

I don’t know am I caring too much?

    If you want a kid “for fun” you aren’t old enough to have one :/

    You don’t get a kid “for fun”, your kid is not merely something you have to have fun, your kid is their own person and you have to respect that.

      Did the commenter say that kids aren’t their own person? You are reaching.

      Raising kids is hard and at times pretty scary. But it is also fun and memorable.
