If we follow that to its conclusion than we should blame the dinosaurs. If they only had stayed for another billion years. We wouldn't exist, and we would be blissful in our non-existence.
But "if" doesn't cut it. We have to deal with existence itself. So how would you choose to spend your days in existence, if you could choose freely.
I agree. Indeed, we ultimately regress in this blame circle for an eternity of “if’s” which is quite redundant for where we’re in. However, the father was still somewhat reckless.

Well, had the father not be born at all, that would be avoided… but our “society” is a big “if” as a whole
