Gen Z: we canât afford anything Society: have children and work Gen Z: give us higher paying jobs and lower expenses. Society: NO HOW DARE YOU, HAVE CHILDREN AND SUFFER MORE!!!

I'm a millennial, 36, I never wanted to birth children, but we are foster and adoptive parents. Let's support the kids that already exist.
@jkjyum
I don't necessarily think people don't want kids anymore, I think a larger group is being more thoughtful about it .
@kimberlym.6331
If you donât want kids it is well within your right to NOT have them. Why are people so insistent on having OTHER PEOPLE reproduce when our foster system is full and the cost of living is skyrocketing? Itâs such a personal choice that shouldnât be forced on anyone.
@xoxnataiie
with this climate crisis and the shitshow the economy is, it wouldnât feel ethical for me to bring kids into this world thatâs dying day by day
@marcusjohnson8649
The lack of spaces for kids is so real. I remember when my local big mall started saying people under 18 HAD to be accompanied by their PARENT(s) not just someone over 18 anymore. I also remember being one of the last kids in the local arcade before it finally closed for good. And once the arcade closed the small local mall went shortly thereafter. There was nowhere to be a kid by the time I was 13, but when I wanted to act grown they told me to go play somewhere. But I wasnât allowed off the house property by myself and my parents were too busy or unwilling to take me elsewhere after school. When I stayed inside and played video games everyone questioned âwhats wrong with this generation?â Maybe you took away what it even meant to have a childhood. Itâs part of why I donât want kids. Thereâs no space for them in this country unless you have a robust community and I never even got the chance to build one. Now I just want to be a part of someone elseâs. I want to bring back places like arcades, rec centers, martial arts studios, and other things that can help kids grow into actual adults with experiences that mold them into better, happier people.

I feel like a majority of us were born by accident and the rise of effective birth control has led to less accidents and a decrease in births
@percussionfellow6168
I feel like less people would insinuate that parents are miserable and drained if there were less parents visible to everyone who are obviously miserable and drained
@k1ss4fr0g
it's selfish to have a kid and it's selfish to not have a kid. there is no winning so, do what you want
@PlasmaMongoose
People: "If you cannot afford kids, then don't have them". Also People: "Why aint they having any kids?"
@raej2353
37:24 the thing is no ones saying âyou must be miserable if you have kidsâ but they say â*iâd* be miserable if I had kidsâ and parents take that extremely personally
@k___x_x3
omg i NEEDED this video because there are so many creators making videos like âgen z is lonelyâ âgen z is childlessâ. like girl that sounds like a you problem lmao
@captainngoose
Even if I was paid, let's say, 100 billion dollars, no catches. I still would not want kids. I just have no desire. That's my only answer. "I just don't want to." That's all I need, that's the only answer anyone needs.
@theflashfan3234
Even beyond the more obvious economic and social issues, I feel like people now are more empathetic to the needs of children, and being self aware and realistic about their own ability to fulfill them and to be good parents. Personally I don't think I have the heart to be a parent if there's a massive chance of me completely fucking up, disappointing my child and breaking their heart.
@IsildurHeir87
People need to accept that single and childless will be the new norm.
@grimm5354
I want kids but I can't afford them, so if the government starts paying for my education, housing, student loans,bills, and groceries; I will sooo gladly have them.
@shanel341
I also think itâs cruel to have multiple children then make oldest have to be the adult and take care of the rest when it was the adult choice to keep having more and more kids. I hear a lot of older siblings resent that because they donât get to have a childhood of their own
@NoisyBones
Iâve never wanted to be a parent, not as a kid and even less as an adult even though I work as an educator. I think itâs really good to see people saying ânoâ to having kids and society becoming more thoughtful about having children. Also I need my alone time to play games, do art and just relax and unwind.
@Inaninvain
If giving birth costs over 30000$ and daycare costs 600$ a week HOW does anyone in the US ever afford kids?? Do you guys just spend your whole life in debt?
