You dont need to reproduce just to feel like you have meaning. Bein a parent in this day n age is terrifying, and i hate it. Theres been a rise in predators, kids cant do anything without a helicopter parent on their backside cuz otherwise if somethin happens You are publicly shamed, called a bad parent n will get arrested or ticketed. If youre raising kids as a single parent, people will constantly remind you of how “reckless” u were and how u dont deserve a social/love life nor a vacation and u must be with ur kids 24/7 because u dont get breaks.
