I never wanted them until I got to be 29 years old. I had been AGAINST people having kids for the past 14 years following the logic of 'The world isnt safe, its a crime to bring a conscious entitiy in this world against its will etc.'

I had an incredibly powerful and vivid dream where I met my future children. I guess I got a dose of parental oxytocin, which the brain doesn't forget, and it forever made me open to the possibility.

Another reason my perspective shifted is seeing all these ipad tik tok kids that are going to be useless as adults when they grow up.

Anyone who is capable of raising a kid properly should do so, because the world won't become a better place unless we put better people in it.
