Having many kids is often because of a necessity like cheap workforce for the family or high child mortality.

Kids can be fun but also can be really exhausting.

How many kids are really born just for having am offspring and not because of other reasons.

If people can consciously decide to have or not to have kids my bet is on falling birth rates.

For stable population you need two kids per couple and first could be an eye opener that children are a lot of work.



I have a partner and we are the age where we need to decide if we want to have kids or not.

Genuinely curious - what are some reasons to have kids aside from “just having offspring”?


Might sound cliche but it might shape you to become a responsible person from pure pressure.

If you are jumping around from project to project, odds are that lack of commitment stems from lack of pressure.

No one wants pressure though… it’s hell.
