I would prefer if only actual parents replied to this thread. question in body.

picture unrelated but it makes me happy to look at ::: spoiler climate doomerism How do you cope with the impending climate collapse? I try so hard to just keep on going one day at a time but sometimes I get so deep in the darkness I have to go out and grab a coffee or something to keep my kid from seeing my mood and asking what's wrong.

I don't see the world being a good place for them to live by the time they're an adult and I feel intense guilt for bringing them into such a world. I've got plenty of arguments against antinatalism, I have plenty of theoretical reasons why people should continue to have children (only the fash having kids seems like a bad thing) but at the end of the day I feel like they will resent having been born when they find out that I was well aware of the state of the world at the time.

Sorry for the bad vibes. :::

If you don't have kids and reply I might get upset but I'll try to just ignore you
