Quoted: When I was younger, I thought I wanted to be a mother, but now that I'm an adult, I don't want kids. I decided I didn't want to be a parent during college when I realized how hopeless the future seemed, from the economy to the (political/racial) climate. I also don't believe in the American dream enough to try to chase it while raising another human, and neither do my friends. The members of Gen Z I know tend to believe in the American dream less than the generations before us. Most of my friend group just doesn't see a path in the future where we have a good, stable job and can afford both a house and a family. We've seen the crash of the economy, how there are fewer jobs than applicants, and salaries that aren't rising to meet inflation levels. Climate change is disastrous, and the prices of daily goods just keep getting higher and higher. What about this situation is supposed to make young people want to have kids? moar I'm 50 and have 4 step kids from 2 different wives that I have help support or raise, but I have never fathered my own for reasons aligning with yours. I feel like in the next few decades (or sooner) so many jobs will be lost to AI, Automation, self driving vehicles and other robots. A lot of jobs will be displaced. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not. I hope I am wrong and just a negative Nancy on the outlook. JMHO. |

Climate change is disastrous, and the prices of daily goods just keep getting higher and higher. What about this situation is supposed to make young people want to have kids? LOL, you have had it so easy your entire life. Right now times are tough; they were basically reset to where things were around the year 2000 when it comes to what things cost, interest rates, and take home pay. Have you heard the term "starter house"? A lower priced house that someone just out of college would purchase to get a start in life and *gasp* even start a family. That was business as usual 20-25 years ago. Whiney people think they deserve a $450,000, 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom house right out of college. A good interest rate when I graduated college was 6.5%. We were excited about that low of a rate. Now people are crying like it is the end of the world. It does suck that the salad days are over but going back to the normal scale of pricing isn't the end of the world. It just means you need to focus on your finances more, get a better job, or pick up part time hours somewhere to occupy your time and get a little more spending cash. |

People have been saying variations on OP's theme for hundreds of generations. The theme is the same (we don't want to bring children into such a messed up world), but the reasons behind the theme vary over time.
Fortunately for the human race, the instinct/desire to breed (or just have sex) is strong enough that humans still propagate themselves. |

Barely hold down a 40 hour job. Eat fast food for most meals and are overweight. They also tend to be lefties. I also know some successful people who don’t want kids. They usually don’t wanna give up money or time. Again I agree with their decision. This is my father in law. Dude shoulda never had kids. Raising kids is the hardest but by far the most rewarding thing you can do. It is a top tier human experience. Between having all the money and time in the world and my kids. Yea I’ll take my family. You may be confusing cause and effect with the first group. Having kids forces a lot of people to grow up. |

If you want your family line to carry on, do your best, leave it all on the field. If you're a young man, maybe that means getting hitched at 40 when you're in a place to have kids. Maybe it's having 1 or 2, not 3 or 4. Might mean searching forever for a suitable woman - it likely will mean precisely that. It's difficult, it's hard, a "normal" life expectation of yesteryear is now a "wow he's doing great" tier thing for most people in most places - only the most dense and obtuse think different at this point. But the alternative is lay down and quit. "Eh, having expensive toys is more important, and always will be more important, than having a family, a living legacy." Count me out of that ^. TLDR: For young people, your life is about "Yards after Contact." Yep, life's going to throw shit at you, and it hurts, and some of life's challenges do hit you pretty hard.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is what happens when a generation is raised by parents who teach by example that raising kids is a distraction from the things that really matter in life. What the fuck are you on about? The Victorian era taught that children were either labor to be put to work as soon as possible or burdens to be raised by a nanny and ignored by their parents. Winston Churchill once said that he could “count the times he had been hugged by his mother” as a child. The idea that parents should dote on their children and make them a focus of their world is a recent affectation. |

I am 46.
My desire to have a family died around 32-33 years old. Last relationship ended in 2017b3 days before chrostmas and I have had no desire to try again. Way I look at it is I have one thing less to worry about when shit gets worse before it gets worse. Quoted:. From 500M years since the evolution of sex to 2M years ago since H. Erectus (or 200K since H. Sapiens if you prefer), your ONLY reason to be on this earth is to reproduce. Forget all of the religion, climate change, wars, etc, reproduction is it. And I can comfortably turn my nose up at it. There will be no sitting around in a human kennel waiting to die for me. I have no care about what happens to this world after I am gone. What keeps me walking the line is a careful balance of having the freedom to do what I want, for now. Older I get the more I do out of spite. When it is time for me to go I have designs on burning everything I own to the ground. May the state spend far more on reclaimation than they would ever get from probate of the estate. Hell turn it into a superfund site for all I care. |
