Iâve not ever before thought so deeply about having children as I currently am today. Itâs bringing up a lot.
More reasons to not have them (and possibly end my LTR) than reasons to have them. Nothing found across the Internet helps me change my mind. All the reasons are not fully sensible to me. Children donât exist for our amusement, to be a ventilation source of our expectations around love, to immortalize us, to ANYTHING! Their existence is not the basis of an exchange because that would require their consent. And you canât get permission from a non-existent person without first making them exist! So the idea of child-reading, to me, boils down to wanting to gift the world a proximal version of myself and their other parent (hopefully); as well as wanting that individual to know the experiences of this world.
However, this world isnât exactly one I want to know or exist in myself. Sure, the world needs more folks like me and my partner; and yet it doesnât deserve us let alone a proximal version. My offspring definitely deserve a better world than this one.
So...thatâs that. I guess. Weâll see where this ends up
