In my friend group, many of us don't want children because we grew up without a father and were forced into being the man of the house before we could learn to tie our shoes.
I don't like the idea of winging it when it pertains to having children. How many of us make a plan to start a family and have provisions for making sure our children are successful?
I hear so many people use the excuse of seeing their mom raise four kids on her own so if she could do it, you could too. How about imagine how difficult it was for her to do it, and put yourself and your child in a position to not struggle as much.
Stop forcing kids to take on adult responsibility because you made selfish decisions.
