    Well… Duh?

    Even if I look at my own family… My sister has loads of health issues and is financially unstable, so she has decided to be a dog mom instead. My brother is in a situation where he will likely never own a home and will have to rent his whole life, so that’s a no for him as well even though I know he’d like kids. I’m the lucky sibling that has stable enough work that I could buy a house. But it’s a real fixer upper that I’ve spent 3 years remodeling and even when it’s done, I’ll be in my mid 30s by the time I have kids because I didn’t want to have kids in an unstable environment. Most of my friends will not have kids for similar reasons with a few exceptions and those usually involve situations where they had financial help from parents or married someone 10 years older than themself who was in a more stable position. So uh… Yeah that seems to be the state of things at the moment.

      Its not OK to tell people its OK to have kids any more than its OK to tell someone that its OK to burn an unreasonable amount of fossil fuels.
