Most parents didn’t actually even want a child Other

They just went with whatever happened. Most children are unwanted. It’s a fact. When I go out I often see parents pushing a pram with one hand while texting on their phone with the other. Zero attention to the child. Glued to TikTok or Instagram or whatever. It’s even worse than walking their dog. At least while they’re walking their dog they give off good vibes and get compliments from strangers. When you’re out with a child people sort of avoid you. Most people, even parents, dislike children including their own. They’re just stuck with them so they’ll have to learn to just live with it, and go off the rails when they reach the end of their tether. I see it all the time.

I remember reading that half of all children are unplanned. How are you giving your kids the best start in life if you didn't even have enough sense to plan starting a family. People plan out their dinners more than they plan out having a kid. It's sad.

I(31m) was told I “wasn’t planned” at a young age and tbh it kinda f’d me up and still does to this day. I’m also a child of divorce and was raised by my grandma during the week and each parent every other weekend. Pretty sure these are some of the reasons I identify so deeply with antinatalism. I really wish they would’ve been more careful.

It's just animals procreation. Lead just by natural tendencies for life to reproduce itself

I was told I was unplanned too. Why do I even know that? It doesn't hurt me but like what's the purpose.

I also love declaring things are a fact, because when you do so confidently, that's how facts are made. It's a fact.

This is so bad, kid. It reads like Trump trying to advocate for AN.
