I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity's future is gloom too.

"I try to be." Uhm is there a middle ground here between do or do not? It seems like rather a binary choice lol. Anyway ya, life is shit and this is hell, no way am I bringing more sapient life to this shithole.

It seems like rather a binary choice lol.

Well there is adoption or babysitting; but I'm trying to stay committed to my decision to be childfree.

I've raised four kids but reared none of my own. Of the four step kids, three girls and one boy, only one of the girls has hatched their own. The other three have zero interest in having kids...unless you count cats.
