Thoughts on having kids..

I’m mid 20’s and I’m terrified to have kids. In fact I’m not sure I want them at all. It would be nice to have a family but I’m not sure that’s the reality of it, especially with social media, bullying, the school curriculum, CAPITALISM, gender issues, pop culture, corrupt governments, cancel culture, vaccines and most of all THE CLIMATE CRISIS.

Do any of you not want kids, or regret having kids?

Would love to hear any positive stories or advice too

It's a big decision ... And often it's taken out of your hands

@ozgirl512 very true, I’d like to think it’s up to the universe, not me

@ozgirl512 hahaha yeah why not, it’s nice to surrender

@heyitsemma depends on what you're surrendering to lol

@ozgirl512 well you can’t control everything in life, only yourself. Sometimes shit happens and you need to just let go and surrender to what’s meant to be, ya know

@heyitsemma true...i often wonder whether the whole free will thing is illusory
