      Because that’s how society works, mutualism.

      I’m not stupid, but…who asked your offspring if it wants to be part of that? You forced it into existence.

        Asking consent of the future is ridiculous, and being mad about existing means you need therapy.

          Still wouldn’t change that YOU alone forced life into existence. If it needs therapy, you’re at the absolute lowest root of a causal-chain.

          Noone questions if you’re fully alone responsible for a pet you got. Even if it still bites you and won’t show “thankfulness”. But kids is just a thing that happens and it’s nobody’s fault or responsibility?

          Why do you think it owes you gratitude? For the gift of life?

            Who said anything about gratitude? The continuation of the species is just what life is. The cycle is amoral and unfeeling.

              If you go amoral and unfeeling, all most people do is just breed slaves for our overlords and their desires in hopes they have someone that will take care of them later.

              Besides, gratefulness for being birthed was kinda the topic of this thread. Kids that need to show some gratitude for aaaalll the love and care they received for being just another consumer and worker that will be milked until they’re dry. But that’s another topic…
