Great read. I agree that a sense of perfectionism/fear of doing harm or not being good enough may make people who would otherwise want kids afraid to have them. That certainly contributes to my own reservation! Such a thoughtful choice to look at this through an intergenerational lens — I think it sheds light on a lot of unexamined aspects of the “young people not wanting kids” thing

Thanks Talia! I appreciate your thoughtful read :)
This is such an interesting perspective! I’m going to spend some time with it.
Thanks Rachel! I'd love to hear your thoughts sometime.
