Man, it's already changed drastically. Look at the age people have kids nowadays, and all the declining populations. Honestly it makes me kind of sad that I wasn't able to find conditions that made me want to have kids, but that's just the era I was born into I guess, more options than before, but fewer stable and clear-cut options. I wasn't willing to make the sacrifices that I would have had to. I kind of hope the next generation will have more options for how they want to raise kids...

Dude my crazy idea is that kids need a supportive community and adults who have their emotional shit together more than they need 2 parental figures. I would love to have a kid-share with a few other like-minded friends.... like 4 kids for 8-12 parents and we pass them all around like their all everyone's kids...too experimental?

I don't think this is crazy at all. I see so many parents who either can't handle their kids or have no time at all for a life without their kids. Also, they can't expect us ( those without kids ) to take over their kids for too long a time. Two days with my niece and nephew already drain me, no matter how well I know them.

P.S. I feel I'm still not too old for kids so I won't say I will never get any but being a father is definitely not a dream of me any longer. It's hard work and I'm not too sure about ( the benefit of ) the world they would grow up in, without meaning to sound too dark.

Cheers!
