This post stated “…as depressed as me” that implies they are looking for kids to pull them out of some level of depression.

That’s a terrible strategy for everyone involved, but especially the kids. If this was your chosen depression coping strategy three times over, PLUS in the US, I guess good for you, but generally speaking it’s not supported by broad societal studies.

The article I chose was just a quick search, but there are quite a number of studies that support not using childbirth as a mental health coping mechanism.

You sound a bit defensive and passive aggressive to me. I hope you are truly, deeply fulfilled and are just having an off day.
