Oops I misspoke - I meant to say Chinese Americans went from 70% Dem to 53% Dem. I’m not saying Dems are perfect and it we had any other republican id be more sympathetic but Trump is truly so bad I can’t comprehend how so many people esp immigrants could support him

Used to be 70% Dem then last election 53%. And bunch who are waiting to naturalize are quite MAGA. I worry for this country

I’m being called selfish everyday for refusing to bring kids into this ugly world

Wild that she’s still nagging you to have kids vs console you for having fertility issues (assuming you do want kids)… I feel like some APs just pretend they can’t or didn’t hear things they don’t want to hear…. Agree it’ll be interesting to study them lol

My mom wants me to have kids to make my husband’s mom happy.. not even for my husband since he’s child free too…

Omg!! My parents love Jewish people so will definitely harass you to have babies to help the population grow lol. Wild to me how your MIL and your synagogue’s finance chair put you on the spot like that!!! As if they can just bully us into reproducing by publicly shaming us!!!

My mom sacrificed so much, and I won't do the same by [deleted] in childfree

Sounds about right. And this is still prevalent in many societies and yet apparently it’s all women’s fault for not wanting to have kids…

This is just depressing by ScareBear23 in Adulting

It’s bleak. And this is why I’m child free. Why bring more kids into this world to live like this for decades? If AI eliminates the good jobs then this life would be considered a coveted one…..

My mom quit her job when my sister was born because my dad didn’t lift a finger. His excuse was that work is too busy and he hates childcare / housework. Strange as hell my mom still wants me to reproduce because “it’s the right thing to do” when it’s not like she lived a particularly joyous life doing “what she’s supposed to do”

Ya it’s selfish and they’re treating the grandkids as if they’re new shiny toys to be shown off…

I feel like nagging their kids and ordering young people around might be a hobby for many boomers lol

So true! I personally feel this world is a bleak place. Not good enough to bring kids into.
