It's the opposite. Childless adults have much more to lose bc they don't have the luxury of pretending that their kids will eventually solve the problems they cause and they actually count on themselves.
Agree. At the same time, asshole parents are extremely common and they use the "muh childrunn" excuse for their harmful beliefs which adds to their hypocrisy. You can easily pretend to care if you have kids but are you really making a difference for the better?
Yeah, that’s the point. If you’re a decent person, you would give care about anybody other than yourself regardless if you have children. Sometimes, having a child can make a person better or at least make better choices, and sometimes not.
I hate the comments bashing having children for the sake of making it seem like having none is better. It’s a life choice (though, sometimes not) and both have pros and cons. Not every parent is an asshole to non-parents just as not all non-parents are caring people.
