    I don't know you in real life, but many weak willed males/females get married and fall in love. In fact many people prefer weak partners so they can boss them around, but some people are nice and won't do that (I hope). Get out of whatever kind of environment that is making you feel this bad. There's gotta be a person that has made you feel this inferior. This doesn't usually stem from one's self. And honestly , love and marriage isn't about capability or beauty or whatever.. I've seen awesome powerful women turn into spinsters. And ugly no persona ones get married, have kids.. Point is there is someone for everyone right(P.S. I don't mean you are weak and ugly, coz I don't really know u.)

    There's a third type as well. Egg / Sperm donors. They're biologically parents, but even less of a responsibility in most cases (though the current widespread DNA heritage testing makes it a lot easier to find out their parents if someone related to them had tested themselves as well)

    's what I said to my friends who are a couple for years now. They were bummed out and then I realized, shit they probably thought about having kids and here I go telling them how it's gonna suck for the next gen with the world becoming like Mad Max.
    Yeah the usual parents aren't parent material at all, but if they didn't have kids we'd die out. People want to raise kids in their own image, and that's usually not a good thing with average human being an ignorant dumb sheep. Kids need proper upringing with lots of options to go with, not to be raised to become the same dipshits as their parents or limited in opportunities.

    Been a perent for almost 20 years now. As I'm over 40 now, I would rather not be producing any more kids. Just seems like a rather bad idea.

    My family has healthy genes in most areas. (The only really bad thing we get is cancer, but all families get some of that nowdays)
    But we are prone to mental-emotional problems.

    I would like to have children, but what if my future kid turns out to be messed up in the head? A missing arm or leg, you can deal with and still enjoy life. But a messed up mind, and life can be suffering even when everything is going well.
    I'd worry about my kid having a future like that...

    As for when, I don't know. Has to be before I get too old, or the chance of problems goes way up. But I have no plans, and am a FA, so maybe I'll just be a spinster/wizard/witch instead.
