I decided to not have children. Thing is, if nowadays people actually weighed all the cons and pros of having kids they would never go through with it. So all the people I know just go "all in" without thinking much, that's the only way it works, kinda. These are my reasons of not having children:
* The so-called "nuclear family" is destroyed. Divorce rates are through the roof, families torn apart and children end up as collateral damage and bargaining chips. The grand irony of liberalism is that it's designed to eventually self destruct.
* Chances that your kid will have issues like genetic, allergies, autism, etc are pretty high nowadays.
* Even if you sacrifice your life for the child and do everything right, there's a chance he will end up being an ungrateful bastard anyway.
- blacktriangle 5y agoEasy to drop those allergy and autism rates to 0 if you don't vaccinate. And before you reflexively hit the downvote button, go look up autism and allergy rates in countries that don't vaccinate. Meanwhile general nutrition and sanitation has done more to eliminate disease than vaccination ever did.

- e9 5y agoYou got to be careful here. Countries that don’t vaccinate also don’t care to diagnose autism. For example, according to this site(https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-most-anti-vaxxer-country-in-the-world-2019-06-19 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-most-anti-vaxx...) the most antivax country in the world is Ukraine and they definitely not up to par with US on diagnosing autism according to their autism awareness project: https://child.ua/en/projects/autism-awareness-ukraine/ https://child.ua/en/projects/autism-awareness-ukraine/
