Unless you are confident you can support your child - is my take on that, personally.
A middle class family can thrive and have a very good impact on the world if they have morals.
But having a kid at of close to working minimum wage and buried in debt is just irresponsible, and that's what a lot of people do, and I think that's where your comment really comes from, unless I'm mistaken.
Kind of. I've seen that happen recently, but now in my country the education is being dumbed down and the government is transitioning to an abusive entity.
Here it's not about if you can support you child IMO. It's really about if you think your child can live independently at some point with staggering quality of life reductions. Privacy is a basic need, and they'll never know it. Climate change, nuclear war threats, directed energy weapons, AI police and political opinions silenced with blackmail used from data tracking.
Things are getting worse. Kids these days don't stand a chance. I say let's fix the world first, then have kids.
