There's also been this strange by frication between women who do and do not want have children. I've never wanted children and I found that when I was in my teens in the 90s, this Was thought to be exceedingly strange and that I would change my mind as I grew older. I never did. On the other hand now it is the "cool" thing to do to maintain a lifestyle.
Both of these are pathetic to me.Because I never wanted to have a kid because I didn't want to have one to begin with. It seems to me that the switch in ideology is still about the narcisstic individual pursuit of having their "best life" and the baby is tossed to the side in that pursuit. When babies cost less it seemed they were still used for narcicisstic gain.
A true understanding of yourself - your role in your life and others - never seems to be a part of the "equation".
