I can buy this. I knew 100% I could raise a kid. I was fairly certainly I wanted children. We had my first kid, and I got more certain. Only as I had a second and they’ve grown older and I watch them develop and become people do I realize it was the right decision. I don’t think you can know it’s the right decision until it’s done.
And the inverse (maybe not inverse) is true too, with people who knew they wanted to have kids, only to discover they were wrong.
Life’s complicated for sure. That’s it. I wanted to put a but, but there’s no but. This is not a decision that has a clear right and wrong to it. It’s a thing. There’s 8 billion of us here, so it’s not some special thing, even though it is.
