You’re forgetting the ones who had abortions, but 30 years later regret it because they imagine it would have made their life better if they had the kid.
They think they’re “saving” the next generation, when really they have no idea what their lives would have been like if they had their own kid.
Kids are a huge change in lifestyle, and they’re just think of.missed positives and not the missed negatives.
It’s just how our brains work. Same as with the lockdown curbing how bad COVID was, because we avoided the worst negatives, people think they werent a possible result. And just look back at the potential positives they could have experienced.
They’re obviously not right. But that line of thinking is pretty normal.
If we want to fix the problem, we need to properly identify what’s causing it.
Lots of time it’s just our brains working exactly as they evolved to work.
