Is anyone childfree? (lemmy.ml)

I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity's future is gloom too.

Humanity’s future is gloom too.

Hasn't been the message for the last 2000 years?

The current era is better to raise children than many other eras where human rights didn't existed. Although it depends on which society too. Many of those worries are very subjective. Having or not having children ultimately is a personal choice* (except when is not e.g. Rape) and neither is wrong. Whichever you chose you will miss the benefits of the other. Both have pros and cons.
