[quote=Anonymous]There are a great many very thoughtful comments here from people who sound like they have their parenting priorities straight.

But still, no mention of any moral obligation to consider the number of children brought into this world with an eye to the climate crisis and the future those children will endure.

I understand that many of you already have the children and nobody is asking you to regret them. But to have a multiple page conversation about family size with discussion only about financial issues and parental bandwidth v parental joy etc. and not any discussion of this massively important issue . . .

How can you say you put your kids’ best interests first? If this issue doesn’t even come up on this conversation, then certainly it is not foremost in how you are choosing to live your lives or teach your kids to live theirs.

Please, convince me that I’m wrong here.

It seems to me that the folks with the most skin in the game  - the most offspring and potential for further generations of progeny - should be the most deeply invested in trying to fix things and give them a future worth having.[/quote]
