Just to get my take out in the open: I do not have kids yet. People are going to have kids and I like kids. Raging against that is like whipping the ocean. Of course we should support families as much as we can as a society, they are our future. ( And maybe we should cut workers some slack across the board...)

However, I feel like people are creating this narrative where society is persecuting them for having children, and they feel judged and persecuted.

Most people have children. Where is this boogeyman coming from? I agree that it is hard to have children in this political and economic climate.

But to assert "People don't get how hard it is to have kids!" BULLSHIT! Most people fucking HAVE kids! And even people who do not have kids understand how hard it is!

This persecution complex natalists have is completely unfounded. Society is VERY positive of having children. Now, support from the government/place of work is another story. But to suggest that society is "hostile" to people with children is absurd.
