View submission: True, who are they to complain
Oh, they are having kids. They just can't afford them. Meanwhile, those being smart and choosing not to have them for that reason are considered to be overreacting. I wanted a big family until COVID hit when I turned 30 and didn't feel so great about still being single then.
Seeing friends parent through the pandemic and deal with food/supply shortages made me grateful to have just myself to care for. Yet, so many of my friends and family members had pandemic babies, which made me question if I really was "overreacting" to it all.
Not to mention, after COVID hit came a bunch of political violence (insurrection, BLM, Ukraine, etc.) I know people had babies during worse times (WWII, the Depression, etc.) but those times did end. I'm not so sure that things will get better for us. If anything, it'll be worse.
There's nothing here!
