Parenting

Have you come across westerners celebrating parenthood, respecting the fact that kids chose them as parents. For culture, where sex is comparatively easily accessible - they consider parenting great responsibility

Whereas in our country, half the country had babies because their families wouldn’t stop pestering 'to settle' Kids are born with the responsibility of taking 'care' For a place with not-so-great infrastructure, people should really use protection more.

I don’t know which western world are you talking about? Just check Blind or any other anon social network. A lot of people literally hate to become parents (and it is very much socially acceptable)as it shows in their TFR. In long run, any society which doesn’t celebrate parenthood won’t survive for long. Europe/Canada/USA whites will be run over by Black/Brown in 3-5 decades. West:Individualism and East:Collective. Yes, there are many traditional white people in west as well ( about which you are referring), but they are either minority or fast becoming minority.

You agreed with me in a different way.

I'm not talking about the existence or growth of population in an economic or biological context.

There are many young people who have 'opted' not to be parents, and I greatly respect that. When you cant b be 100%, don't invest.

Indian society doesn't give that leverage tbh

One of the greatest freedom you can have is not seek validation. ie F*** society. About your main point of parents seeking ‘care’ for children works in both ways. In western societies, parents don’t save/sacrifice as much for children either. High divorce rate/single parent children are norm. Parents funding children’s education is not given as well. Also, they are rich society with high social security net for senior citizens. I mean context is very different. Just because, some 1% people can migrate/feel like global citizens, society won’t change overnight.
