Maybe try talking to older people, not just your currently stressed-out social group.
All your posts seems to say is "we heard that kids are hard work in the short term so we decided not to have them".
- satvikpendem 4y agoWhy are parents so predisposed with trying to convince other people to have children as well, especially those who have made a decision not to, either way?
- majikaja 4y agoThe same reason people who don't work are generally expected to look for a job. This has been mentioned by others. That's not to say that everyone has the same expectations.
- satvikpendem 4y agoHow are those analogous? People can live perfectly fine without a child but can't without a job (unless they live at home with their parents which coincidentally a lot of hikikomori do).
- majikaja 4y agoThe ability to attract and successfully integrate hundreds of thousands of immigrants per year to support an oversized elderly population is not a luxury that most countries that can afford. For most communities, normalizing childless will only come back to bite people in some form or another.
