> Thinking ‘I’ll just have them later’ is standard delusional thinking. It’s like someone saying they’ll ‘start eating healthy next week’. It is easy to judge.

It is easy to judge. In reality, circumstances often make it impossible to start a family sooner.
- lazide 4y agoNot judging, just recognizing. Been there, done that. The reality is, except for being locked up in solitary confinement or being held on a deserted island with no members of the opposite sex, it really doesn't take much for a woman to get pregnant. In fact, without work to stop it, it's common for women be pregnant nearly all the time in any mixed social environment. I think what you're referring to is 'not possible to start a family with the circumstances and standard of living desired', which is a different problem. It's always about prioritization and choices. Most of the time, we just don't want to recognize the choices we're implicitly making - and there are a lot of reasons for it. Delusions are a survival mechanism, and we evolved them for a reason, after all.
