Yep, and it goes on to great extents. I don’t have kids but all coworkers of mine get a “one up” for doing the same things I’m doing while being parents.
7 billion people have been born in last 100 years. Raising kids isn’t abnormal.

Have you considered that someone might choose not to have children because they understand how difficult it is?
They could witness a close friend or sibling struggling to raise children.
They could simply reason about the commitment of time and money required and take note of all the other things in life that parenthood would require them to give up.
Yet this argument seems to come exclusively from parents, assigning parenthood a special status, which makes no sense, since parenting is extremely commom.
