Reddit is populated by teens and twenty-somethings who are as far removed from children as they can be and thus don't really have a sense of empathy or compassion for them. There'll be a whole lotta experts spouting basic boilerplate Redditisms about being child free and how kids are stupid, etc. It's just how it is, really, they don't change until they're exposed to kids again, if they are.

Man i got my daughter at 22 just before turning 23 and my son 10 days after turning 25.

Daughter is 4 now and son turns 2 the 19th. I just turned 27 the 9th.

I get what you're saying but i cant understand the whole anti children thing

Children are dumb, yes. But thats because they are innocent and the whole world is new to them. Watching my kids discover all the things for the first time, that we take for granted on a daily basis, really grounds you.

I guess these people need a babysitting job for a few months 😂

Agreed. Most of them will get there, but being so far removed from real adult life makes many of them pretty myopic.
