I'm not an anti-natalist nor am I planning to have children, but I am generally interested if there is a good reason to have children.

It is obvious that capitalism makes it hard to raise kids but even without capitalism, is there a good reason to bring new humans to earth?

I don't know am I caring too much?

If you want a kid "for fun" you aren't old enough to have one :/

You don't get a kid "for fun", your kid is not merely something you have to have fun, your kid is their own person and you have to respect that.
