@oz1sej@mastodon.online @FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp I mean, not everyone finds enjoyment or fulfillment in parenting. Leaving a job working with kids was one of the best things I ever did for my mental health. But the solution to that is, don't have children in the first place, let people who actually want the responsibility handle the continuation of the species, maybe be the generous auntie on occasion, because they *will* internalize your lack of interest as a personal failure.

@Ashmire@pagan.plus @oz1sej@mastodon.online @FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp i skipped having kids because i was self aware enough (and was raised by bad parents) that I didn't want to have kids and wasn't emotionally prepared to have kids
