[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes, most of you have way too much anxiety. No wonder the kids are so anxious and depressed. Repeat after me. You live in the most prosperous community that has ever existed in human history. If you cannot find a way to have a child that you want in this society, then it's not our country that is the problem (and I'm not saying country is perfect). It's you.

For those who don't want kids, great. Don't have them. It is the people who claim they would love kids but just can't because of x,y,z.[/quote]

NP I disagree and I have 2 kids.  I very much understand why a lot of people don't feel they can have kids due to finances and emotionally, not wanting to subject them to modern challenges we have.

X, Y and Z are real issues and not pretty.  I think on a certain level, it's a lot of selfishness to have kids and again - I say this as a current parent - just because it's possible to be prosperous, does not mean that's enough.  There are problems in this society and in our country that are profound.  It's not just money at all.  It's a culture, attitude, reality.  You also don't know what experiences each individual has so I think you should respect those who wish they would want a kid but for a lot of reasons, don't want to have them. It's DEFINITELY because of current times in the US.[/quote]
