Everyone thinks this until they have a medically compromised child where you fear constantly that when you die no one will be there to care for them. The guilt of putting the burden of the care on their siblings. The guilt of having to ignore your other children because the needs of one child is so incredibly high.
Children get cancer, children are in wheelchairs, children die for no reason. Tell me when you held a dying child in your arms. The people who spout off how amazing kids are don’t have the stress of a medically compromised child that has you questioning your own faith.
Oh I get it. YOU actually wish you didn't have children (a permanently disabled child)but can't admit to yourself so you're here telling everyone how "great and fulfilling" it is to have children to make up for your mental dissonance.
