Not really old enough to have a child, but I want one lol. Anya started all this, now I can’t stop liking manga/anime with similar themes about raising children/family.
...you do realize that those kids you like are fictional right? Mostly it will be screaming, shouting, crying, pooping and puking. Many people tend to want kids when the ppl around them get kids, but this is mainly because they are only exposed to the cute parts, while the parents are loaded with all the hellscape things.
It is exactly like puppies and kittens. Super cute and bundles of fun. But if you were to get one you would need to remember to feed, groom, walk, teach, and pick up their littering and clean any poles they water (assuming you don't own them yourself).
And they are much more tame in terms of everything bad, than babies or even toddlers are!!! You will also inevitably lose interest in doing all of that properly (as many parents see is true when their kids get a puppy), and so you will end up neglecting your kid and forget to feed it or be too tired to take it for a walk when it needs to defecate.
And that is only in its larval stages!!! in the second evolution they are arguably worse, as they gain mobility and an instinct to challenge authority and so on. Third stage is even more of the same.
So no, we don't want children. We want robot-puppies and robot-children. All the good, with none of the hassle!
