Yes
Comment from : Piero Gentille

Okay wait… “more generous parental leave, cheaper childcare, might make the decision a bit easier” Well the Japanese have that and they aren’t having as many kids… so try again?
Comment from : SGMaricelli

That's right, we as a society have evolved, we don't need childrenoh wait who is going to take care of all these 80 year olds? We need to build more robots!

The egotism of childbearing is like the egotism of colonizing a country Both carry the wish of imprinting yourself on the world, and making it over with your values, and your image One of my disinherited sons had six children who carry his hate for me That's what can happen if you're not fit to parent
Comment from : Robyn Hope

I deeply regret having had childrenbc for me it was a profoundly bad experience Long story short: bad genes and bad environmentand bad parents If you had trauma in your life, pls dont have children, bc the trauma will be passed downsee Mark Wolynn's work My sons are estranged and disinherited😢

In the US an abortion is illegal in many states but most employers do not provide maternity leave I don't get the contrast there Either it's a pro-family country or it isn't
Comment from : Parr Snipps

I did the maths about 10 years ago and realised I couldn’t afford it, and it’s as simple as that Lucky for me I never really wanted any Let’s face it, the planet is overpopulated anyway, we don’t really need any more humans right now Neither will I be responsible for raising more slaves for the capitalist machine We will have to find another way to live as a society

I can guarantee that my broke a** parents didn't spend a fraction of that on me Even adjusted for inflation
Comment from : BobbyJ

Calling caring for your own children "unpaid labor" really says it all regarding this toxic point of view Focusing on lowering childcare costs or the negative outcomes related to leaving your job for an extended period of time is all centered around ensuring that women can continue being wage slaves as if that was necessary to their self-actualization immediately after they brought life into the world Who really benefits from more workers in the job market? Certainly not the children shoved off to be cared for by strangers 10 hours at a time

I always knew that parenting is hard but I thought about mental side I had no idea it is so physically exhausting in first 3 years
Comment from : Forest girl

I think The Economist should show Chilean's experience with paternal leave
Comment from : Heidy Leiva

It would be fair to present both sides like you showed people with kids but what about about people who don't have kids and how they feel, showing just a side of the story is unfair
Comment from : Suman Kumar

Great, since all snowflakes don't to have kids you will be replaced by tribal people who on average have 15 kidsbrLol
Comment from : Natasha Ghibli

Yes its worth having kids because when they grow up they will work for billionaires (or trillionaires) for a small sum of moneyam i not right?
Comment from : SChaubey

Kids are expensive no doubt… brIt should be a decision you and your significant other should make as one brYou truly need a village to raise a kid brThat first year or two of having a baby is the biggest adjustment of you and your partner’s life … which at most can be the break or make of your relationship… brbrChild care is super expensive so “know what is important to you” For example… More money at times can cost you your time for the fear of missing out seeing your kids grow up and spending time… etc… it’s a give and take… again it’s knowing what is important to you…brbrIt all comes down to what sparks joy in your life … I chose to have kids at an older age just simply because I wanted to enjoy life in my 20’s… without any regrets later on… But I’ve also seen people who had kids at a younger age become successful… it really comes down to how you handle obstacles that is sometimes not predictable… brbrDon’t look at your kids as just an expense… they’re more than that… they should be your most prize possessions… your treasure…brbrAlso, It’s ok not to have kids… If that is what you truly want, chose to do and you’ve made peace with that decision…brbrFor me I’ve always wanted kids… It’s a mindset… it’s a commitment It’s a love like no other can give you … Between a child and a parentbrbrKnow what you want… it’s ok to say no kids when your at a younger age… that’s because are young If your a female know the age when it’s more difficult to have kids and make your true decision closer to that age… And make peace with that decision if you do or don’t ❤

Printing money for Social Security and pensions does not produce goods and services The ability for these benefits to be paid rests on the vitality of the economy in the future, which looks increasingly bleak

Your content is an invaluable resource for parents on the journey of raising children As someone deeply committed to nurturing young minds, I'm truly inspired by your insights Raising children is an incredible responsibility, and it's our duty to help them grow into compassionate, honest, and patient individuals br brIn the words of Fred Rogers, 'The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self' Our children learn by example, and it's our actions that mold their character 'Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you're waiting,' says Joyce Meyer Instilling this virtue in our children is a gift that keeps on giving br brTeaching honesty is equally vital 'Honesty is a very expensive gift; don't expect it from cheap people,' warns Warren Buffett Our role as parents is to show our children the worth of integrity br brKeep sharing your invaluable wisdom, as it resonates with all of us striving to raise responsible, respectful, and kind-hearted kids
Comment from : Hero Child Here

I always tell my kids that having kids comes with a great responsibility You have to be emotionally, psychologically and financially prepared For now my oldest one says she doesn’t want any because she wants to do many things in life and I respect her opinion
Comment from : Arty Sibs

I think if you need to watch a video like that, the answer is no
Comment from : Petro Aleksyuk

In Russia women have 3 years parental leave The company a woman works in continues paying 100 of her overage income (counting last 2 years of work) And if a woman doesn’t work or a family’s income is low the government gives her 400$ per month And also the government gives her a 10000$ certificate to make a deposit for apartment or they can save this certificate to pay for the university

Short answer Its expensive
Comment from : Naopro Tio

If you opt to have kids, try having them before your late 30s/early 40s Otherwise, your kid(s) will be taking care of you and or your spouse a lot sooner than expectedbrbrInstead of leaving the nest, starting a career, and finding a wife during my 20s, I was forced to stay in the nest to help my mom and I lost my dad at the end of my 20s I'm 31 and caregiving has destroyed my life

"The man or woman who deliberately avoids marriage, and has a heart so cold as to know no passion and a brain so shallow and selfish as to dislike having children, is in effect a criminal against the race, and should be an object of contemptuous abhorrence by all healthy people" - Theodore Roosevelt

We need a about 5billion less people in the world so definitely not, it's pity though because I would have liked a family but it wouldn't sit right with me
Comment from : Daniel Linehan

Yes Kids give you purpose and motivation You watch them grow and learn Children are the best Also, the fact that the modern age of social media, we (that have children)can rest easily, knowing there will be genetic generations looking you up on social media seeing your life through videos and pictures If you don't have kids, your name and memory will be lost forever No one will look you up
Comment from : Mr Ouncer videos

What I have realized is that having children is rewarding for the parent, not for the child It's rewarding for the parent because the parent wanted it, the child was not consulted about it The child is therefore surprised to be existing by the time they hit the age of 3 when they become conscious Now they have to live because another human wanted so Do you understand how f**d up that is??

Schools are completely designed for a stay at home and teachers are fighting for less days at school and shorter day what are parents to do?
Comment from : Marcus Aurelius

As a parent of 2 young kids and pretty new to parenting I find it bizarre how other parents keep banging on how much they love their kids as if it’s an unusual thing, and not the default setting? Surely everyone - or at least 999 of new parents - love their kids I can’t help but think they’re projecting their insecurities, and deep inside they resent having them
Comment from : RoyalOak

It's worth having babies if they look like Rodney Dangerfield on a bad day, but otherwise not worth it
Comment from : grindupBaker

Show some 65 Year old with no more job no kids and grandchildren Thats when you’ll see the fruits of being non egoistic taking given life for granted and not doing your fair share
Comment from : Jean

My personal opinion is the age at which you start a family is very important All those who say I missed out on X,Y,Z because I got married or because I had kids , why did you choose to get married early or have kids early Im a single male , who just turned 40 who recently got married with a woman who's mid 30s we are trying to have kids now Both of us are physically very fit and active Both of us are financially, emotionally secure and are at a stage in life where we want to have kids We are happy as we are We have achieved everything we wanted to in our lives So children will add joy to our lives and not be a hindrance or burden
Comment from : BeautyinNature

I live in Sweden, but I still find it too expensive to have kids Maybe I am too egocentric or maybe not altruistic enough to have kids Don't know I love that parents here nowdays share parenthood more, I wish it had been more like that in the 80s when I grew
Comment from : Andreas Andersson

It is just expensive hobby now

Witj all the genetic testing they did i believe they are picking through us Picking and choosing while systematically profiting There is no other explaination
Comment from : M Songs

People who say don’t have kids so they can travel the world just simply don’t know what happiness a child can bring brbrI make roughly 200k single income high cost of living area and it’s rough but I see people making double that just decide to get a dog and probably work even harder to take care of it brbrI didn’t think a kid was all that great until you have one and I wouldn’t trade it for going to bars or retiring and traveling early I’ll take my kid with me :)

There is never any mention of Austria in these videos I’m a man on a 2 year paternity leave - getting 80 of my salary for the first year plus we received mum’s full salary for 8 weeks before and 12 weeks after The system here is fantastic and made it possible for us to have our daughter without any financial pressures

The rich usually don't have many kids, the poor do coincidence?
Comment from : k

No The world is in a weird place right now and I wouldn't want to bring a child into it Social media, extreme polarization, rampant bullying, school shootings, housing problems, extreme weather events are the top reasons why I don't want to have a child I don't see things ever improving to be honest
