What is controversial about the notion that having a child is not an accomplishment?

Simply having a child is not an accomplishment. It's a side effect of sexual intercourse. Trying to make sure it's a healthy baby and raising it with love and care: that's an accomplishment.

Accomplishment is raising a child into a happy adult.

For those who might struggle to have children, it may be seen as an accomplishment. Why does it matter if a person thinks of it as an accomplishment or not?

Im a mother and not offended by it. Having a child is not an accomplishment. I do think raising a happy decent human being is.

I've never looked at it as a accomplishment before.

I guess it just sounds salty

It’s not like you ladies are pioneers 🤣

Animals have young sometimes more than once a year
