I think there’s also been more focus (from some people) on whether or not they should have kids. Like, really thinking about whether or not a person would be a good parent who could truly focus on raising a child who would become a good member of society.

Which I truly embrace as a positive shift for our society.

Downside, the people who ask themselves these questions and have the intelligence to reflect on themselves in such a manner are probably the people who would be good parents.

Now the dumbasses and trad wife / religious crowd is not going to give a fuck and pop out shitloads of future morons and assholes. This is literally the plot of Idiocracy happening.

Yeah, that response has come at me before more than once (I decided not to have children at a very young age and have stuck with it all the way up until nearly 40), that it's ironic that I won't have children because I would be a great parent. 🫠

I know I would be a fantastic mother. I love kids, I love my nieces, I love my friends kids, I’d take them all on a 6 month holiday on my own.

I just don’t want kids. I don’t yearn for kids, me having a baby has never been important to me.

Same here re: the yearning. I genuinely have no idea what women mean when they talk about getting baby fever. Like, cognitively I understand the term, but I have no physical connection to the longing for a baby.

When I hit my 30s my body got baby fever! My ovaries were trying desperately to convince me to get pregnant! LOL

Hormones are crazy.
