alt Hacker News> It's not an easy thing, but some of the histrionic claims about child raising on the internet are really out there. It's no wonder kids are horrified by the thought.
Could 'the horrors of parenting' be something that is promoted to younger people, to discourage then from having children? A sort of governance marketing to help address the perceived issue that there are simply too many people?

There's an accelerating population crisis. Who would have motive to push birth rates lower than they even are, and how would they "push them"?

Governments usually rather have homegrown babies, where they can influence everything from day one, than importing different ones.
So .. if this is a conspiracy, it would have come from a private entiety (like club of rome, who lamented overpopulation a long time ago).
But I don't think so. Lamenting and whining has just become a sport for some.
