It is selfish, you have a kid because you don’t want to handle other people’s opinions about you, giving in to the pressure is easier that standing your ground, more comfortable to. So because you don’t want to argue with your parents and deal with the backlash, you decide to bring another human being into existence. That’s pretty selfish
Indeed, I do not want to shame people who decide to have a bunch of kids if they truly want to, but they should really think about their choices and the consequences, because at the end of the day, those people that pressured you into having a kid will not help you if things go wrong, I’m talking about mental and physical illness, I am talking about financial destitution, I’m talking about accidents, and 1001 other things that can happen
