    You know what though, no shame to her. If she’s up for the task that’s some serious work.

    I honestly never thought I’d be the type to have many kids, but after having mine I can see where it would be incredibly fun to have a lot of these guys running around.

    Although, on a serious note, I think it’s because I’ve come to a new idea regarding kids in our era. A lot of people talk about the “well I didn’t agree to be brought into this mess” and “boomers ruined it for all of us.” I’ve always had a less pessimistic view of humanity. Not ignoring that we aren’t serious monsters to eachother and the planet, but humans adapt incredibly fast. I have this irrational idea that if I can raise kids with the same values and empathy I have, then they will too.

    If the people who work to better society have kids that better society, maybe we’ll have a better future.
