I think it’s a combo of things. Lots of ppl had bad upbringings and don’t realize it didn’t have to be that way or have been around kids raised by poor parenting and think bad behaviour is the default, many people can’t afford kids or even a stable place for them to live today, and the rest think the world is the worst it’s ever been because they’ve never read a history book and so can’t imagine bringing a kid into that.
I’ve got a toddler. It’s great. It’s hard work but for every minute I put in I get so much back.
This is why lemmy is great, IDK why but Reddit just seems to hate children
It’s very much a problem here too.

Sounds like an American thing to me.
Nah I’m European and hate kids.
