I think it's a little crazy to bring children into the world as it stands today. I feel really guilty for having my kids, I should have foreseen this.

Even if the world was a much better place, if you don't want kids you shouldn't be a parent. But that's what they want, they want bad parents so they csn act like they're better.

Don't feel guilty. People had kids right before famines, literal world wars, local wars, etc. and funnily enough, the world has never been better (in certain aspects, like survivability of small children). You are literally what keeps humanity alive!

Not to mention that we can better the world before your children have become adults, so keep that as a goal to work towards.

In a world full of dragons, raise dragon slayers.
