To worry about bringing a child into this sometimes awful world.

Sorry in advance about this post, it may be a little deep but I was thinking whether this plays on anyone elses mind too.

I really worry that maybe my selfishness of wanting a child ( I have a dd) has meant that a child has come into this world where there are so many horrible things going on. I live in a bit of a bubble in a sleepy village where nothing really happens and am really grateful for that. But I worry that she will have to face the big cruel world and so will her children and childrens children in the future.

I can't help but think that life in Britain (and probably many countries) will get harder and harder with rising crime rates, over population etc.

Does it bother anyone else?, or am I just a little depressed and in need of some sunshine? Grin

Come on Ye Nest of Vipers, I would love for you to convince me otherwise!

Seriously, I do get your angst. I have it whenever I start to think deeply about the realities of having babies.

I can honestly say it never crosses my mind.
