Well... Duh?

Even if I look at my own family... My sister has loads of health issues and is financially unstable, so she has decided to be a dog mom instead. My brother is in a situation where he will likely never own a home and will have to rent his whole life, so that's a no for him as well even though I know he'd like kids. I'm the lucky sibling that has stable enough work that I could buy a house. But it's a real fixer upper that I've spent 3 years remodeling and even when it's done, I'll be in my mid 30s by the time I have kids because I didn't want to have kids in an unstable environment. Most of my friends will not have kids for similar reasons with a few exceptions and those usually involve situations where they had financial help from parents or married someone 10 years older than themself who was in a more stable position. So uh.... Yeah that seems to be the state of things at the moment.
