One of the two reasons I decided as a young man to never have kids was my concern that I would likely never earn enough money most of the time necessary to allow me to afford kids, even with my partner working too, and still have a decent standard of living. The other reason was my concern that the parenting of my own parents would result in me being the same kind of father my dad was if I had kids, and I wanted to stop the cycle of dysfunction rather than risk continuing. Between the two reasons, it turned out I was more than right to have made that decision. The money issue played out exactly as I predicted, and tho I was an improvement on my father as a partner, I still do not have the kind of patience and ability to tolerate stress that I would have needed to parent well. Handling an adult relationship with a partner is my level of competence and I will stick to that.

maybe we need to think more of population control

Well, you Could have that baby, but Should you?

The planet is overpopulated, we are running out of resources and headed towards environmental apocalypse. The only negative of fewer new humans is funding the current humans' retirement.
