Perhaps, but then, look at all the hate I'm getting for trying to start a family at 40. It's apparently a choice I met my (now) wife in our 30s, and it's a choice for us to have a child... However, if we meet 10 years prior and she _accidentally_ had a child, and had to pay $1500/month for daycare... That's different... In that situation they _might_ not have wanted a family, so they were forced... But we want a family, so we're not forced.
- rayiner 4y agoBut it’s not the “ideocracy” hassling you about trying to start a family, it’s young urban people on HN who think children are optional or something about climate change. I was fortunate enough to meet my wife in my 20s and have our three kids already, but it doesn’t always work out that way in our modern age. I hope you and your wife are successful.
