Kids or No kids in this new generation?

[Emelina]

I often wonder if I were younger and could have kids now, I would say no bc its not a good environment how kids are being brought up in society now a days. But that's just me.

Okay, I am just curious about this question I am asking... I am absolutely done having kids, as I got two and that's enough for me, and I am older too ( no thank you... lol)

Yes I'm having lots of kids. The world has always been a mess so its not a reason to avoid having them

[SingleGuy101]

No kids. Generation Z can't afford a house due to the scam of the Baby Boomer and Generation X. I just can't see having kids and I am considered Generation X. I can't imagine whet it is like for Z.

You don't realy want to know... I have 2 teenagers, and my oldest is graduating in 3 weeks; they had just that end part of the old generation but they were extremely little and they wouldn't remember a lot of it playing outside, specially in the fall with the leaf... now my daughter is highly into technology, my son is too but not as bad as my daughter. Technology is the new generation, and everyone needs now bc thats the form to communicate with everyone and the world. There's no more writing ( my kids came to me and asked what's a signature? I was blown away and I had to show them how to do a signature, schools don't teach them anymore, they rely on the computer to do it for them...) I am scared of what both of my kids would have to go through just to survive in this life time. I wouldn't have any kids now, its so much work and there's no guarantee that things would turn around like in my old generation. Hey, life is life, I have learned to accepted.

Can you explain more about the environment and society that you don't like.

[Emelina]

It's just that it's extremely obvious that society in this new generation has change dramatically. There's no kids out playing and using their own imagination, not all but most kids are rude to everyone even towards strangers that they even don't know, kids hardly volunteer their time now is all about money... in my old generation was farrrr from what kids have today. I used to play outside until the lights came on, I obey the rules that my parents had, I follow my parents beliefs and someone's elses beliefs... but thats what I am getting at... its tougher now being a parent I think? Now you got technology and everything is done through it, to the point no one needs to leave their homes bc almost anything can be done on line. Kids have rights and if a parent disagree, well you're a label as a bad parent... kids are more like little adults than kids, if you take their phones or whatever technology they got its like the world comes to an end. Sorry for this long message. Lol.

It is a different world that our kids find themselves in and there are new challenges for them and their parents.
Regardless. It's human nature to want to create new children and frankly our governments need us to do so if they still want a work force in the coming decades.
They must know this so I don't understand why they are not promoting families. Unless they are going to rely on AI. But that's another story...

I mean you're 45, too old to have kids. My rule is once you hit 30+, you can forget about having kids.

Which is unfortunate on my end.

[Emelina]

Oh goodness NO KIDS for me thank you, and at my age lol!! I am just curious if anyone wants to have kids in this new generation thats all. As for me I got my 2 teenagers and that's enough for me. Thanks for your comment 😊

[gothbxtch]

having kids in your 30s is actually super normal

[MrCommodore]

Still worth it, it's just about finding a good location

[talka20]

Yes

And we need to improve society in that case... noy stop having kids

[LordOfThePines]

If I did, I would likely homeschool them and keep them off the internet.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Kids? Gotta go.

[Emelina]
