💪 Ask An Optimist 💪 People with children

124 Upvotes

How are people with children coping? I'm constantly bombarded with doomer videos on tiktok even though I'm always seeking out good news about the environment. I have a daughter and I am so worried about her future, and I feel so much guilt for having her. It doesn't help that I also see videos on Tiktok of people judging and shaming people who have children nowadays and frankly I'm starting to agree with them. I love my daughter but I sometimes wish I didn't have her because the future looks so incredibly bleak. I keep trying to avoid social media because it's all doom and gloom on there but I can't help but doomscroll sometimes. I'm tired of seeing the argument that people had kids during world wars, famines, etc and we have it good now because of technology and medicine. But does that even matter when everyone is saying that we're all going to starve to death in 20-30 years? I think I just need to get off my phone and touch grass lmao I'm tired of going from feeling hopeful because of all the good news and progress I see, to feeling doomed because of how bad things are. How do people stay optimistic?
