Re: Can I say something?

I've seen that a lot from my Dad's side of the family. My aunts are older and want to party all the time. It's just...not right.

I agree about childbirth. I don't know where this idea came from that it's a horrible thing and that children are terrible and will suck your life away.
I never thought of a parent not being there for a child; how common is that since women are having children at an older age now?

Also, I think a lot of people need to consider how much they have to give of themselves before having children, just like in a marriage, but at the heart of it you have to be responsible for another life and I don't think my generation or the current one are doing it any favours with this selfish syndrome that's prevalent among the youth.

I don't see a selfish syndrome at all! If anything a lot of us are having kids older because we think we need so much to raise kids.

The issue I see isn't a lack of responsibility but rather an underlying anxiety about our possible inadequacy.

The whole reality of how badly parents can fuck up children is something that is actually present in the minds of the current generation of would-be-parents in a way that it plainly wasn't for the generation that had them.

The advances in psychology and its popularization are kind of staggering.

In my parents' generation, having kids was something you did - and you didn't worry about whether you were gonna be a good enough parent or not in any but the maybe most basic material way.
