    Many people my age have terrible boomer parents who just had kids because “that’s just what you do”. They didn’t even consider you could just not make babies.

    Maybe we just think more for ourselves than the older generation.

      Right??? My siblings have an 18 year span, I’ll be 38 when the youngest graduates highschool. I feel like I already have kids, I’m doing so much emotional and financial support for these ones

      Worse in my case, I had the sort of parents who thought that more was better at any cost. My childhood really sucked.
