I think that my SO and I would make fantastic parents and we almost certainly have the support system and financial means to have kids. My hang up is, what do you tell your kids in 20 years when living conditions are much worse than they are now and they realize that you must have known the trajectory society was on when you made the decision to have them? How do you explain your choice to bring a new human into a world full of increasing suffering and injustice?
There's always adoption - all the benefits of being a parent and you can easily deflect the blame when they ask you why their spark of consciousness was conjured into this empty and entropic universe.
Child: Dad, I'm going through a really hard time. I don't have any hope for the future, and I see society falling apart around me. How could anyone create me knowing that this is what life is like?
Dad: I guess this is a good time to tell you that you're adopted
Have you asked your parents the same question? If you haven't, I don't see why your future children would question your choices
