like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

Is this true? Purely anecdotal, but none of the people I know in my age range had children on purpose. Most of them were an "Oops, guess we should get married then..." and THANKFULLY most of those are good parents and their marriages seem to be working out.

Not that this is a bad thing when it works out anyway.

Anecdotally, my friend groups and family were the opposite. I even know some friends has abortions because they weren't in the right place to have a child.

But if you look at the statistics, parents are having their first child later in life. There are also a lot more childless adults.
