Is having children really worth it in the end or does it feel like it was slavery ?

I just feel like a lot of people have kids to fill a void in their life or because they think it would make them happier.

I genuinely feel like a lot of people regret it in the end but it is too late.

Especially nowadays when people are very individualistic and extended families hardly exist , what is the point in having kids if most of them will move away and never come back.

I don’t think you end up really better off in the end than a person that didn’t have kids at all because there is no guarantee that your kids will want to have anything to do with you in your old age. You have to be lucky.

I just see so many people become so bitter after their kids grow up and move away. So what is the point. Why put myself through all this ?

No I don’t have kids… yet
