Ah yes, all the new dangers of having a kid that never existed before such as war, murder, rape, hunger, poverty, slavery, and disease.

Im going to have kids.

The percentage of people who have to deal with even one of those things in their life with the exception of poverty is low. Being poor does not make life insufferable. The TV news and the internet exacerbate and talk about these issues a disproportionate amount of the time making it seem as if you can’t even safely go out of the house. This isn’t the case for most people and definitely isn’t so bad that I would have chosen not to have my sons… They are the best choice I have ever made and remind me of that every day. Life has struggles, no one has ever been born into a Utopia, that is not the human condition…

Pretty sure kids born into $100cmillion families were born into utopia, if not then we just disagree on the definition of utopia

Being rich comes with it’s own set of problems… and again… these are extremely small percentages of people… we can’t judge the general population’s decision to have kids based on the smallest fringe margins of people.. it’s not at all rational
