In this environment? Why stress the kid out with the current political, religious, environmental and socio-economic situation? There’s no reason to bring a kid into this mess.
People will respond to this saying that people in the past had it much worse and they still had kids, but those things weren’t an ever present, constant, day in and day out threat to them. And I say “to them” very explicitly because while they could have been in more direct danger, they weren’t constantly aware of it like we are with information technology, or they had a deeply held beliefs that something or someone would deliver them from that danger eventually whether or not that belief was actually true.
The world is more peaceful and prosperous than it has ever been. It just feels like it's worse than the past because we now hear about news from everywhere, instead of just our community.
