....You said two things that were just completely , laughably wrong .

Bro if a pediatric psychologist who has been in their field for like 60 years , hasnt been involved in any controversy , but dooesnt have kids of their own DNA wants to give other people advice on general ideas of how to healthily raise kids ? ANY parent would be clearly smokkng the pipe if they didnt listen to that advice.

and secondly , it doesnt matter who gives who on advice on whether they should have kids or not just as long as its adults talking about that adviice. If a 60 year old who is STILL unsure comes to me and asks me for advice on if they should have kids or not ...Im 30... do you really think thatt it would still be a bad idea to give that person advice on not havinng children despite the fact that Im muuch younger than them? At the age of 60 no human has the ability to regularly give birth to children without birth defects. and at that age infertility is commonality amongst humans. A persom is crazy if they dont give advice to a person who is in their mid 50s or early 60s to just not have children cause a child born that age will almost certainly have some sort of defect, the parents will be too old to raise that child, hecl even having a healthy pregnancy at that age is a monumental feat that most women cant meet through no fault of their own.

Also the majority of humans oof all ages dont even have reliable access to competent sexual education, birth controls, steriliziations and abortions - so even if you did advise them to not have children .... theyd have no way of following that advice other than NEVER having sex... But most adults rrport not identifying as asexual so that means most of them will attempt to find ways to have sex with othher adults. Surveys show that most adults report eventually having had sex at least once. Surveys also show that tmost adults report already being a parennt or having the desire fo eventually become a parent. SO that tmeams that most adults will probably eventually , sometimes accidentally, produce a child. Now that I think about it, as things stand today advising a person not to have children is almost useless cauuse 1. most adults will become a parent voluntarily eventually according to what theyve said in surveys annd 2. most people dont even have access to the things that would prevent accidental pregnancies like competent sexual education, steriliizations and biirth controls or things to preveent regretful parenthood, like abortion.

Edit:: also one final thing Ill addd is that the childfree lifestyle is often ommitted from media all over the planet so most addults dont even know that being childfree is an options. In russia foor example all mentions of 'childfree'ism are banned and its mention is an arrestable offence. Unsure adults who stucK in these types of previous scenarios I juust talked about should DEFINIITELY be given advice on if they should consider and soul search inside themselves if they are childfree or not.
