Not planning after looking at taxes, school fees, unemployment and pollution scenarios in India.
Parents are behind me but have to manage somehow.
I don't want to produce kids because my parents think who will take care of you after us or in old age?
But this thought is so selfish.
And looking at current GenZ generation, they are least bothered about relations, parents and responsibilities - I am pretty much sure my kid will say in future (we can't control peer circle, external environment even if try our level best to give best Sanksaar) after irritated for some reason - "F*ck you dad, I am leaving home, don't want to see your face".
Not just this, on spiritual level, I feel getting a birth at this time is nothing but pure suffering. Since birth you are compared with another kid, competition is always there, jealousy is at its peak due to easy social media access and loans on head for expensive flats. Diseases are on all time high due to processed food and bad air/water quality. What I am giving to my kid? Just STRESS.
So don't find a good reason to give a birth to kid in present world.
